Confessions of an Indecisive Dieter: Cambridge Edition

[ilikepencils]

Hello

I thought I should probably start a new diary. I'm at the end of day two on SS+ and it's going okay. I went down 5lbs after day one and I'm hoping for a couple more tomorrow . Once I've completed a couple of weeks on Cambridge I'll stop weighing daily.

I really need to stick with this, as I don't think I could cope with another summer obese. Winter is definitely my favourite season for all the wrong reasons! The main one - being able to cover up with long coats and knee high boots.

I wonder how much weight I could lose by June? I guess we'll see!

Good luck everyone

Spangles, your signature is amazing. So inspiring!

Welcome to Cambridge

Good luck with you first week!

Losses usually average out at 14lbs a month so just think by you June you could be about 5 stone lighter!

Welcome I also love winter for all the wrong reasons! One of my goals is to be slim for summer and actually enjoy the sun for once! Good luck!

Thanks Krissy & Felix

I'm struggling a bit today. Not because I'm hungry, I'm not. But I am so bored! Food takes over so much of my day to day life, from agreeing on what we'll have to preparing it and then sitting down with a meal and something decent on tv, going out to eat, wondering what I'll have for lunch.. My whole life revolves around food! How sad

I forgot to add that I couldn't sleep last night at all! I was still wide awake in bed at 6am, but completely knackered. That probably isn't helping my mood.

Hopefully I'll snap out of it soon! If I remember correctly, day 5 is when I start feeling better on a vlcd.

Also, my mum came over for a bit earlier and gave me a lecture about not eating certain things. Others persuading you to eat so early on (or at any stage actually) really isn't helpful!

End of rant

Still wide awake! Oh dear! vlcd's usually have the opposite effect on me. I am tired, but I just can't switch off. Depression wise, I'm not feeling good at all. I hope this passes as I'm doing my head in right now.

 

[Krissykat]

Aww hun you will get there! I found it a struggle to sleep in the beginning, seems I had more energy than I used to, how odd!

I was feeling like eating yesterday also just out of boredom but I never would now I have come too far.

How are you feeling today?

 

[ilikepencils]

Glad you didn't eat, Krissy! You've done so well on Cambridge so far . I'm feeling a bit better today thanks. I'm trying to think positively. I thought maybe I should go wedding dress shopping to cheer me up over the weekend. Maybe get one a few sizes too small for motivation.

Day 4

I'm already down 9lbs! . I'm expecting it to slow right down now, because I can't imagine it being possible for me to lose much more than 9lbs in one week! I think that would top the most weight loss I've had on a vlcd, ever. My OH has decided to do his own version of a vlcd again . He doesn't even need to lose weight! It's driving me crazy.

-9? Great!!!

I'm not exactly sure why you started a new diary though. LOL.

 

[ilikepencils]

I'm not either lol I might go back to the old one.

 

[missfortissimo]

Lol, whatever works! Have you had a nice weekend?
