Is posting like mad!
Hi everyone,
I'm new to MiniMins and thought I would come and say hello now that I have decided that Cambridge is the diet for me.
I spoke to a CDC last night and have an appointment to meet early next week, really looking forward to it and am cutting down on fat and carbs in preparation.
I really think that this is going to work for me, but I do have one pretty major worry so some support and/or advice would be welcomed.
My worry is other people, I have been bringing VLCDs up in conversation with the people at work and my friends and had very negative viewpoints from them, I have told them that my medically qualified doctor is currently doing the Cambridge Diet himself and recommended it to me as safe and maintainable!
But so far all I have gotten from friends and colleague is
I don't want to have to hide my diet at work or socially, I am going to have to hide it from my personal trainer as I know he would lecture me endlessly.
I just don't know what to do I feel like Fern Britton with her gastric band!!
How do you all cope with other peoples perceptions of VLCDs?

But so far all I have gotten from friends and colleague is
- that it's not safe
- that I will have loose skin if I lose weight too quickly
- that the weight will just go back on
- that if I continue at the gym and eating healthy I can "be a nice size 16 by christmas" - I'm 24 I don't want to be a nice size 16 by christmas which will still make me the biggest person in a room full of my friends and if you say 10lbs per dress size still clinically obese!!!
