Hi there all, I have warned you that this is a bit of a depressing post and I really dont want to put anybody off CD as I know its a fab diet.
BUT...I wondered if there was a clinical/logical reason why peeps who have regained weight after any VLCD, seem to gain thier loss back and then some? Its the 'then some' I dont understand.
Its logical if we go back to our old ways of eating we will gain weight back(and its nothing to do with just eating normal sensible food....as some un-educated, Anti VLCD people think)
Me, for example...I started in april 2006, weighing my worst ever at 14.6..hated it enough to start CD, lost 3st 3...felt wonderful at 11st3, but cos I didnt see it through to the end and didnt change my thinking/relationship with food gained some of it again, Jan last yr I was 13.10 again....then I got to 11.7 for my wedding in march. By jan 2008 I was 15.1!!! So an 8lb gain to my initial starting weight.
How come after feeling soo good about ourselves, some of us allow ourselves to go above and beyond what spured us to start in the first place?
I kow I am not the only one, I have read plenty on here who have done the same.
This certainly doesnt mean we will never stay slim,' You havent Failed till you give up trying', but why do we do it to ourselves?
Just food for thought and something I dont know can be answered..but any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks...and sorry to be so depressing!
The good thing is that are tonnes of peeps on here who have lost their weight and kept it off and each and everyone of them are an inspiration to me!
BTW I am now on day 3 of SS-ing again and back in the 14's with a 5lb loss so far this week.
Thanks for reading...Lou
