Eat to live don't live to eat!
Some of you may remember me, I started my cambridge journey in June last year and over 7 weeks lost 2 1/2 stone! I loved feeling slim and although I was still a way off goal, because I was slimmer than I had been in years I enjoyed being slim and didn't go thru the maintenance stages properly but managed to keep most of the weight off.
After a lot of chocolate at xmas I found myself 10lbs heavier so I re-started cambridge in Jan but just didn't have the motivation to do it, I managed 4 days sole source and at the end of day 4 gave up and started eating again. We were having money troubles so I used that as an excuse to give in when to be honest we could have managed.
Anyway, when I started eating again I just kept eating, I was quite stressed at home, my husband is facing redundancy and there were a few other things that happened too but I don't want to go into detail on here but basically I took comfort in food, sweets, chocolate, alcohol and ended up piling the weigh back on in a short space of time
My husband and I went on a much needed weekend break to Paris on 19 February and had a fantastic time, apart from the fact that my clothes felt really tight, which I ignored and ate lots of nice french food! When we got home on Monday 22 Feb and looked at the photos I suddenly saw myself and realised how much weight I had put on
On Tuesday 23 Feb I woke up and just thought I need to do ss NOW! So I called my cdc at 8.15am and went to see her at 9am! She asked if I really did feel that I could do it as I had given up before and did I want to waste my money etc, she said she needed to know that I was prepared to give it 100% which I said I was!
And so I got my products, some for £1.50 each as they had the old packaging which was great!
I have now been on ss for a whole week and have not cheated once! I do feel hungry at times but I have been ignoring it, the rumbles are my fat cells being blasted away lol!!! I have got upset a couple of times at dinner when my husband makes his gorgeous creations but I find music, ds games and reading distracts me enough to get thru it, I have even been cooking for the kids and made some gingerbread for them - pure torture but it keeps the kids happy!
Anyway, if you got thru all my rambling then well done! I have promised myself that I will do maintenance this time as I am determined to get the weight off and keep it off - plus I will be competing with my sister in dress wars for our brothers wedding in July lol!!!
