Hi fellow cd'ers
Been on CD (restart) for 3 weeks and have lost 18lbs
so far and overall 70lbs since starting CD last year but had to stop mainly due to money issues.
I've posted a few times on the 100% forum but i've not really been 100% so thought i'd better post on here instead. I've only picked 2 or 3 times on some chicken - nothing suicidal but I know I shouldn't do it but all the same it's not put me off track or tempted me to pick on anything bad. I think when I did CD first time round last year I really learnt a lot about my food habits etc which I believe is how I managed to more or less keep off what I had lost.
I was just thinking about things earlier today and how far I've come with my weight issues etc and I realised that now at 24 yrs I actually weigh much less than I did when I was 11 years old when I weighed a stone more. I've always been big and when I was in my teens I was at my heaviest at over 18 stone. At the time my doc prescribed me Xenical but I only lasted 2 days on them, couldnt handle the side effects. I wish I had knwon about CD then!!!
The CD has been a god send to me, it's really changed my life and given me so much self confidence and belief and even though I still have more to lose to get to goal I'm really so happy about myself as a person. I've had a few negative comments from people about losing weight so quick and how unhealthy it is etc but it doesn't bother me 1 bit what they say - I know it's safe and I'm doing this for me and above all I feel so good about myself. Funny thing is the very same people used to have a go at me all the time about being over weight and how I needed to lose weight etc
I'm gonna try now and do the rest of my weight loss journey on CD 100%, no more picking. I think I should spend more time on here, keep me occupied!!
So to everyone just starting or struggling - this diet DOES work and believe me you'll feel so good when you reach your target - just stick with it and if you have a blip just pick yourself and get back straight on it!
Sorry for the long post!!!
