Hi Everyone,
This is going to be my diary which I will keep updated as often as i can during my journey through CD.
I am not new to the cambridge diet I did it before over 2 years ago had fantastic losses but I never got to my goal and had to stop for personal reasons. I have wanted to start back on CD for a long time but wanted to make sure I was definitely in the right mindset to do this as I couldnt cope with any more failed attempts.
So about me I'm 26, I have been married for 7years and have a beautiful 5 year old daughter. I currently weigh 17st 13lbs and my goal at the moment is 13st which I may tweak when I get there!
There are so many reasons why I am doing this diet but the main one being that I want to be healthy and comfortable in my own skin. I want to be happy and feel confident about the way I look instead of trying to fade into the background. I also feel very ashamed that I have loads of photos of my daughter but very very few of me with her as a photo of me confirmed my weight something which I avoided for so long. In fact it was a photograph of me that made me come to terms with the fact that I needed to do something and which is why I initially started CD 2 years ago. I would also like to have another baby and my husband has been wanting another for ages but I dont want to until I am at a weight that I am happy with and I have been maintaining for a while. I feel I need my weight to be under control first so that i can really enjoy it the second time round.
I am doing SS+, I prefer to do SS however I dont feel as though it is appropriate for my daughter to see me not eating at all. Also I dont think its right to be sat there encouraging her to eat her vegetables whilst I'm sat there drinking a milkshake - so for that reason I am doing SS+.
I love this diet and the motivation that comes with being in ketosis - I plan to do some exercise during my journey but only once ketosis is well established.
I'm on day 1 today and havent found it too bad at all - drinking the water is no problem at all for me as it is was I drink on a regular basis anyway - the hardest times for me are late in the evening - I am a night owl and like to have a munch but will keep busy on this forum to distract me! - I also find it hard when visiting my husbands family as they dont know that I am dieting and it can be quite difficult to not come across rude when they are offering drinks foods etc - but I'll just have to use a few excuses and grit my teeth and after all this isnt forever it is just for right now.
Anyway enough rabbiting from me - today is Day 1 and my goal to start with is to complete 100 days and to remain 100%.
Good luck everyone x x
