I did cambridge for the first time and successfully in 2006, reverted to old habits and gained weight....as you would expect. Did CD again last yr for my wedding got back down to 11.7st...after the wedding reverted back to old habits and gained weight again.
Have been trying unsuccessfully to get back on track since then really.
Had a long chat with Hubby last night...hes never had a weight prob, eats when hes hungry and stops when hes full and never eats for the sake of it....so personally I cant see how he can have an understanding of how it feels to 'have to have food', no more than I can ever understand how he can not manage to go for a day with out a discusting, smelly stick of nicotine!!! He supports all my weight loss efforts, but seems to think its literally a case of eating less and cutting out junk. (which its obviously is but in reality its not that easy!!)
In some ways doing CD was an inspiration to me, I was able to loose weight, it was lovely being slimmer and I felt great...so that was a really huge plus side of the diet! BUT it also seems to have f****d up my mind even more where food in concerned. I seem to have this preconception now thats its eaither feast or famine. I am either ON or OFF CD. If ON I am good and focused if I am OFF I ate anything and everything in sight! I seem to now be unable to even ate healthily..ie WW...............:cry:
How do I break this cycle??
If I carry on like this its very unhealthy and can and will eventually cause dmaage to my body, but if I give up trying I am going to be an even bigger ten tonne tessy!!!!
How do I get the ultimate result of either coming to terms with my body as it is(which I am not happy doing...If I was 12st instead of 14.7 I would be happy to stay there), or learn how to maintain?
I so want and need to be normal, to develop a take it or leave it attitude towards food ....But I just honestly dont know how!
please help ...any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks and sorry for going on or for being on such a downer.
