After a lot of thought and turmoil, I've decided to stop doing CD for the foreseeable future. I just cannot handle the mood swings, I don't feel like myself any more. I haven't felt as low since having post-natal depression after my daughter was born 4 and half years ago. I always thought I could cope with any diet as long as the weight was coming off, but CD has been such an emotional upheaval and my head is just not in the right place at the minute.
There is a lot going on in my personal life and I'm struggling to cope with it on top of the diet because I'm so tired and so emotional. I am finding I can't think straight. I've been thinking about it for a while, but today has been the straw that broke the camels back as they say. Even minute things are getting me down- I've just been in floods of tears on the phone to the estate agent all because somebody has cancelled a viewing of our house. I don't like having no control over my feelings, it is affecting the whole family.
I hope to come back to CD when things have settled down in my personal life, and in the mean time I'll probably do WW or SW. Just writing this I'm in floods of tears because I feel like failure, but I know I'm doing the right thing because it is affecting my children and my ability to look after them like I want to.
So I'd like to take this opportunity to thank every one of you who has written me a little message of support, answered my questions or listened to my rants. I really couldn't have got as far with the diet as I have without you guys. You are all such an inspiration, be proud of yourselves because not many people could hack this diet (me being one of them ) Hopefully I'll be joining you in maintenance before you know it. Until then, keep strong, keep happy and enjoy it.
Love, hugs and thanks, Lisa x
