maro11 said:Hi Amber, sorry to hear you are struggling. I struggled for YEARS to get back on CD. It is really hard and your head has to be in the right place. I have my first holiday abroad in years coming up and I am focusing on that to get me through, I am promising myself I can stop CD when I get to the holiday and do another diet as I will only be half way through. I hope I don't stop but I need to see the finish line if you know what I mean.
Do you have anything you can focus on to help you through the weak moments?
Good luck, hope you have got back on the wagon
lumpyandbumpy said:yeah sorry hun, i'm not sure what advice to offer only that when i started CD i'd put it off since january and wished i'd started earlier as i put another stone on in between jan and march but to be honest, my head was not in the right place for CD in january and i think putting on that last stone made me realise that i had to do something drastic and that was cut out food altogether.
Maybe you could start on a higher step and ease your way into SS? I dont know how difficult it would be to go from a higher step with food to cutting it out completely but maybe this would be a better option for you to cut calories in the first instance then try and curb the food intake and just go on the shakes. alternatively maybe you could try slimming world/weight watchers to kick start your loss and then come back to CD when you've started dropping the pounds. i really do think with CD you have to have the right mindset because its so difficult to follow so have a good think about what you want to do and maybe starting on another diet/higher CD step might be a better option for you.
good luck with whatever you decide xx

It's so difficult, i know, but it is an internal battle with yourself - no-one can help you with this one. I just think that I've invested so much into this - not just the money (although that is massive factor for me), but everytime i think I can't do it anymore, i find the strength and the will inside NOT to give in. I keep on thinking of how much weight i've already lost in such a ridiculously short period of time - that definitely keeps me focussed.
I've said before that this is the hardest diet i've ever done, and also the easiest. When your head is in the right place, this can be a breeze. If it's not - well, it's just horrible.
I hope you make the right choice for yourself. CD isn't for everyone. But a helluva lot of people do stick with it and do see amazing results.
All the best

its distraction is the key ... so think of your distractions and act on them rather than the food thoughts !!
We have all been there , say to yourself i'm in control not my food thoughts and i will do this !
