Step 1 Sole Source DAY 1 Diary entry- Cambridge- Back to my happiest and..... thinnest.

Day1- 29/01/2015

Cambridge-SS

I’m going to keep an online diary, I think it will help me keep motivated and accountable. I have done the Cambridge diet before and had great success, I think this will give me the extra support I need and hopefully help and motivate others along the way.

10:30am and I feel fine, not hungry at all and I haven’t yet had my breakfast, just makes me think- do I actually ever feel hungry? Or am I eating for the sake of it the majority of the time?
I’m going to have Maple and Pecan porridge for late breakfast and then soup as a late lunch, I’ll listen to my body and eat when I feel hungry however pushing it to as late in the day as possible will help me as I find nights the hardest- wanting to snack and potentially falling off the wagon. I met with my consultant last night to get my supplies and get weighed, I asked her not to tell me what I weigh until next week and (I know what I am roughly) as I weighed myself recently, I just didn’t want to feel intimidated by the number- once I’m one week down I’m happy to be in the know :)

11:30am Maple porridge, I wouldn’t go as far to say I loved it but its edible, it was more like sugary sludge than porridge- I can handle it though :)
2:30pm Chilli soup- yum, its actually quite good. I imagine I’ll be eating this a fair bit over the next few months.

I’m going to have a shake for dinner, I like the idea of putting ice in the blender to make it. Then I’ll head to my bed early, looking forward to having day one behind me.

Does everyone else stress about social situations? My friends are getting together next Saturday for drinks and food- by then I’ll be 9 days down and feeling stronger and a little more used to it I guess but the thought is kinda killing me.

Does anyone have tips on how to preoccupy their hunger? Or just tips in general?
 
Lots of water.

Keep busy-find things to do to keep your mind busy

Coffee and tea if you like it. Helps keep the hunger at bay!

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]So last night I ended up making chocolate shake in a blender with lots of ice, it was exactly like chocolate ice cream. I really enjoyed it and it felt like I was being bad :) even once I've reached my goal I will use this as an ice cream replacement as I enjoyed it just the same.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]For breakfast I ended up having coffee mixed with the cappuccino shake and ice, it was a delicious camriccino :) I had this at 10:30am, highly recommend making this- no milk.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]Then lunch (2:30) i opted for the mushroom soup- I liked it just as much as the oriental chilli yesterday. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]I'm seeing my friend tonight, usually we would make something yummy for dinner and drink loads of wine- sadly not tonight- I think I'm going to eat some porridge.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]I've been really tetchy today, I'm hungry and irritable. Could do with putting my head under the covers and hiding but I need to ignore the hunger pains and go and socialise with my friends. I remember the last time it felt fairly easy after three days, I really hope it's the same this time around. [/COLOR]

Thank you Caz! You look great! How long have you been on the plan for?

This is day four for me, I'm feeling more confident having got past the first three days- looking forward to getting weighed on Wednesday.

just about to have a late breakfast :)
 
Well done. I find day four is the worst for me.

In the photo on the right I had lost seven stone. I gradually gained six stone of it but have lost 20.5 lbs of it in three weeks. Have my weigh in on Tuesday and hoping to have lost some more. I just need to learn the maintainance bit this time!
