i came off CD on the last week in june due to severe (and i mean SEVERE) constipation issues.
for the first 4 weeks i ate pretty much whatever i wanted (which included my birthday with cake etc etc) and gained 10lbs in that time . i tried to look at it in a positive way. i was having a well deserved month break before completely changing my eating habits again .
Then 2 weeks ago i joined SW and lost 4 1/2 lbs in the first week and stuck to mainly green days, lots of potatoes and rice/pasta and i didnt hold back at all.
ive done SW before so i knew it works and i just did it the same way i have before, ate and ate free foods until i was nice n full.
it is my second weigh in tonight but im not very optimistic as im due my totm and im feeling very bloated and starting to get that 'pregnant look' around my tummy that i have always gotten right before totm.
will post my weigh in results when i get back.
so basically , no, i didnt work up the plans, far from it, i stopped and ate immediately, went to town with food BUT had my cut off point of 4 weeks and then jumped onboard the SW train to continue my journey.
After all, if we know where we want to be, it doesnt matter how many different trains we have to take and a change of scenery keeps it an interesting journey
