a new way of living!
Hi everyone,
sorry not been on here much and hello to all the new people.
well i moved from LT to CD about 5/6 weeks ago, as i wanted a plan with food, i was a healthy bmi and been on LT for 14 weeks and it was time to stop.
well, not eating anything is far easier that eating for starters!!!
with LT once you get past the 'horrible' stage of hunger, (first week) then the 'i'm not hungry but want to eat stage' (next 3 weeks) it actually gets quite easy. I then hit a stage at week 12 where i was missing fruit (I am eating about 3 apples a day now!
) at week 14 i was ready to kill...
aside from those stages, this is an easy diet when you get into in.
then i did cd810, moved to cd1000, then cd1200 - all in all over 6 weeks of eating and drinking and not sticking to plan, i have gained only 3 lbs I am happy with that, as it includes two drunken nights out and, one meal, three take outs and more chocolate than i care to admit to.
the trouble was, CD tastes nice, and that reminds you of nice tasting food. LT tastes 'funny' and barely palatable for most of us!! and that makes you forget about nice tasting stuff (after week 4) so i always wanted something 'nice'. even if it was just fruit.
so now we are in november, almost december, and 'that time of year' is almost upon us, the time where, historically, i end up bigger after a few days of madness. so for this reason, and because i have another 20lbs i'd like to lose, i have started weight watchers. i did it before, very badly, and never lost any weight; however, this time i am managing better as i am coming from a different mindset and habits.
for example, i hardly drink now, last time i drank every day. i hardly eat out now, last time it was 1-2 take outs per week, i didn't exercise then, now i do 2-3 times pw.
so, for those comtemplating CD, think about your previous habbits and what nice tastes do to your resolve, for those thinking of stopping, hang in as long as you can first!
as for those struggling, cheating and feeling rotten about it all - maybe try a conventional diet like ww if you think you would stick to it better, thats what i've done now and i feel far happier! but do try and give it your best most dedicated shot first!
love love love
