Hi everyone,
Let's just cut to the chase. I'm starting CD on Sunday. I've been avoiding it by going with other diets where I get to eat more but I don't think anything will compare.
I went to a fitness weekend last week and went to a seminar run by Dual Dynamics. They're a couple who are now CDCs. The man actually lost 112lbs in 24 weeks!! Amazing!
I found that his words were so powerful and actually made me choke up. When I walked in I saw that it was the CD and I said straight away that I wouldn't be able to do it. What he said instantly changed my mind.
After the seminar, I went back to my room (I was staying in a hotel) and had a real ugly cry. I started shouting at myself! I have done so many diets in the past but haven't stuck to any of them. WHY HAVEN't I? I get upset when I look at myself in the mirror.
I'm 24 now - I got fat at around 19 but for some reason I don't remember ever being thin! I feel like I've been dieting for most of my life. The only thing that is stopping me is me. No one is forcing food down my throat. Why moan about it if I'm not going to do anything to solve it?
I contacted a CDC in my area today and I'm going to see her on Wednesday. My DH is off to India for 9 days on Sunday so I thought it would be a good time to start. I won't have to worry about what he's going to eat and it also gives me the motivation to carry on and stick to it. It also means that he will come back to a (hopefully) dramatic change.
If I learned anything from Laurence, it was to set a deadline. So my deadline is the 28th of August. That's actually my DH's birthday! My goal is to lose 35lbs. I'm gonna do that. I'm GOING to lose it. There's no point in hoping that I will lose it. It's about knowing that I will lose it. Whenever I say to people that I have a goal they think it's unacheivable. Again from Laurence "Don't ever underestimate yourself".
I'm looking forward to this life change and I'm hoping to keep you all updated. I will be starting a VLOG on Youtube and I will also be updating Twitter so please take a look!
Cheers - to the beginning of the rest of my life!
