Shabbs, you will get used to it hun. you will be so determined after your first weigh in. the weight loss will be worth it. In 2010 i did the diet for 8 months straight! yes i had times when i fell off the wagon and found it hard but i got there in the end and got down to about 11st 10lbs. you just get used to it.
i also struggle with not having take aways and 'treats' and i sit there at night sniffing my partners tea cos it smells soooo good! but i know that in a matter of weeks/ months i will be where i want to be. and id be so angry if i canved in and ate right now. i do not want to go through the icky feeling of getting into ketosis again!
be strong, take every half day at a time and pamper yourself every evening with a long soak in the bath, an hour with a magazine, paint your nails and drool over really nice clothes in catalogues knowing that you will be slim and wearing them really soon

ive been doing the diet on and off since Jan 2006 - but that time round i lost about 7 stone
now, that sounds like CD is another one of those yo-yo diets... but its not! . I just sort of lost weight in stages. yes between dieting i gained a little weight but not masses. each time ive gone down and down and never gone back to my original weight.
the reason why im dieting this time is that i met my partner just after i finished CD last time round in 2010. we ran london marathon in April 2011 and did loads of training for that. after the marathon we didnt run as much and i suppose i got a bit content - going out for cosy meals etc, and i put on about 2 stone. now i just want to get back to the way i was about a year ago as i feel so round and well, fat!
sorry if i sound like im writing an essay but im just trying to make it clear to all the doubters (of which there are plenty) that it is possible to lose weight quickly and keep the weight off (with a little blip here and there!) and so, i am now determined to finally get to my goal of 11 stone. i will do it this time!! )

thats what i keep telling myself . its not a forever thing...i will be able to eat again! but for the sake of a few months out of my entire life i think i can just about stomach the shakes to get to where i want to be

Aww uz r both doin so well and its good to hear how it is after the CD. As u mentioned everyone else is so quick to tell how u will put it all back on as soin as u eat "normally". Surely its over eating they mean!!!!!! The comments just make me more determined to make it work

ugh! im beginning to struggle a little im not hungry or anything, i just really miss food at the minute. i know that in a matter of weeks/ a month or so, ill be able to eat conventional food again but im feeling a bit low today. i think weigh in tomorrow night might perk me up a bit seeing how much ive officially lost, but now its so hard to keep motivated!

Keep going im starting my 4th week and it's been tough, I've watched supersize superskinny when I have thought about swaying and that has refocused me. We need medals for doing so week and it's going to be life changing. You don't appreciate how many hours in a day food prep and planning take up so finding ourselves with more free time is abit weird. Some times I argue with myself but I've had so many restarts I know how hard it is to conquer day 1 when your restarting from a blip keep strong keep positive, my CDC posted "eating the junk food you have craved for an hour or getting the body you have wanted for years the choice is yours" and it snaps me back to reality. Put pen to paper reasons why your doing this and why this particular diet? For me I want it gone yesterday and I want to start a family with a healthy body as possible x
