Hello All,
I am on day five of the Cambridge Diet. My CDC said that day four is usually the worst. Well if my day four is the worst day I am going to have on this diet then :bliss:bring it on!
Dare I hope that the wee situation has settled down? It kinda feels like it, but it is hard to know as I didn't leave the house yesterday. When I am at work I'll know better. I'll be upright all the time and my bladder more subject to gravity.
Day five and today I face a major challenge. That is going to my Mum's and the inevitable delicious Sunday dinner, not to mention well-meaning relatives.
This week I already experienced the generous colleague bearing cake who couldn't take the first no thank you as an answer. "Go on, have one. I don't want to eat it all by myself." I said no I can't, I got to be strict. Thankfully at that point she turned to someone else.
So, home to Mother. I did tell her, over a two week period prior to starting the diet, that I would be starting a diet. I think that will help and plus she wants me to lose weight. The others might be alarmed by my choice of diet.
I don't know how I am going to respond to any negatives that I might experience. One of my sister-in-laws, having tried CD and LL, is against such dietary approaches. I'm sure my sister will remind me what I said about the diet a colleague was on and she might bring up the cabbage soup diet. It was a few years back, when a colleague was on Slimfast. I wasn't impressed at all. I thought she was on a hiding to nothing. I'm not going to take that back unless someone can say that Slimfast is nutritionally complete in the way that CD is. As for the cabbage soup diet. My sister said she was going to try it and I was scathing about that. A diet consisting of only cabbage soup? Puhhhlease!!!!!! I know she'll want to get her own back!!!
So day five is a big day for me which I will face rather than phoning in sick. "Ma, I won't be coming round today, I don't feel so good." None of that. I will be there with my banana or strawberry tetrapack.
So wish me luck, as the more relatives there the harder this will be!
Thanks
