I am starting cambridge diet tomorrow, i am 5ft 8, weigh 16st and am soooo unhappy with my weight. Everyone keeps telling me i wont stick to it, that it wont work, that i wont have the willpower (have tried so many diets) i feel so fat and ugly (didnt feel ugly when slimmer, just the fat chin (s). I have had 5 kids and after my 3rd i went from a size 24 to 14 from heartbreak and have slowly gained in last 2 years after having twins (i weigh same now as 37 weeks pregnant with twins) and have slowly gained and am now an 18! feel so down and am fed up of hearing negativity about cambridge diet and my lack of ability to lose weight....i havent even started yet! Please help with support/sucess stories/advice all gratefully received!!!!
Hiya wannabefitatthirty
Right firstly SOD the negative people. Im sorry but telling you you wont last and that you dont have the willpower? Id say more regard those kind of people but Im pretty sure Ill be barred from misuse of language!!!! Anyhow FORGET THEM with regard the diet. Theyre not doing it YOU ARE so honestly their opinions dont count, only yours does.
Secondly you are being way too hard on yourself. You said you've five children? WOWSERS im 24, have no kids, Im 5' 7 and I weigh 15 stone 2.5 lbs.... It doesnt matter what we weigh now, the fact is we're doing something about it.
With regards negativity, it is hard but my advice to you would be limit who you tell and talk to about it. Im not saying lie, just if people ask fine but you just focus on you. I adore my mom, but shes no size ten either yet if i told her about this she would FLIP. not worth it at all at all. so ive just decided not to tell her. Simple
the great thing about cambridge is that the initial results are dramatic so once ur partner sees this, he'll know youre doing the right thing and you can dance around to the lovely tune of "ha i told you so! "
Youve got to rub the sound of negative people out, they exist everywhere and unfortunately even in the form of our most loved. They are not the ones who make the choice with regard what goes in your mouth, you are... So how would they know about your willpower? Let them off.
Im on day 4 and Im feeling fantastic and i truly believe its cos I believe that I will actually succeed on this diet. So corny as it sounds, start believing that you WILL do this and get your head in a better frame of mind ok.
We're all here for a rant and natter. I write everything in my diary. Thats what it's there for.
Best of luck and keep us posted. I know youll do great, you just need to know that too xxxx
