ok i read the original posters post when it was first written and i refused to comment as i am one of these people who will open their mouths and speak without thinking it through and get VERY angry...
so i have waited and read everyone's responses... and i am pleased that a lot of people are thinking the same as me... it is bang out of order to come to a weightloss "support" forum and start slagging a diet off... i have failed on many diets but do not blame the diets...
admittedly, after the first time i tried Cambridge i said i would never to it again as i gained the weight back... but i didn't take the time to think "well actually Sar it is your fault as you didn't follow the plan, you wanted the quick fix for a wedding and afterwards you didn't care..."
and now... i am back! i have learned that i NEED this diet as for me it is all or nothing... i either eat for England or i don't eat at all and knowing that i can't eat whatever i want means i can succeed...
i know that my hard work is going to start the moment i hit goal and need to work my way up the plans... i refuse to go back to my old ways and pig out "just because i can"...
this week has been a really tough week for me as i went for a meal on Saturday night and since then i have picked and picked... i can see my old traits and not only is it annoying me, it is scaring me as i don't want to go back to the old, unhappy me...
people can slate diets without a second thought for their own actions and say "oh well that didn't work"... we are all here because of previous deep rooted habits and it is those which need to be tackled while losing the weight and if we don't change the fat person will simply reappear...
i know that i am going to have to consciously watch what i eat for the rest of my life and i have learned to accept that... i certainly don't want to keep having to spend a small fortune losing the weight i gained...
i wish everyone luck on their Cambridge journey as it is not an easy one... but it is a rewarding one
