There are SO many great things about having lost 8 stone - being able to enjoy the sunshine and warmth instead of hiding in big black tent-like clothes, being "accepted" as a normal person, being more comfortable in my own skin, being more self-confident...I could go on forever!
So, for everyone who's just starting on CD or for those who are struggling - stick with it! Doing this diet is by far the best thing I have done in my life - I can now begin my life for real!
Thank you all for your support and praise - you guys keep me strong! xx
