Can those of you that have fallen off the wagon please share your experiences, and how you got back on CD to help those of us that are struggling please?
I did 8 sole source weeks with no problems whatsoever, and then I started entertaining friends. The first couple of weekends I stuck to nibbling meat from the bbq, then I added cake and salad to the mix, then one weekend I had an icecream.
Then I got so fed up of not eating that I decided to try 810, except that I couldn't limit my portions.
So I didn't put anything on, I stayed the same, but it was very frustrating. Then last week I thought "what's the bloody point" and ate everything I fancied - resulting in putting on 8lbs
This is a familiar pattern. I did exactly the same when I was on LL and ended up putting all the weight back on, and an additional stone. This time I have no choice but to go back to the diet as I have to lose the weight in order to get IVF treatment. It's just as well I have that goal or I would've given up completely I think.
I went back on the sole source wagon last Thursday and have lost that 8lbs now so hope to lose a bit more by weigh in on Thursday.
Sole source works for me. I know it does and I know I have to stick to it.
However, I am concerned that I am not going to be able to stop myself putting the weight back on once I get to goal!
