all cd'ers - I'm starting CD this friday and i really cant wait, i go to see my CDC on thursday so will start on friday, i'm a little worried about what flavours to pick as i'm abit fussy. I only like vanilla Slim fast but CD has so many flavours to chose i hope there is a few i like. I have been doing Slim Fast since january and my losses seem slow. As time is going on i'm finding it harder to deal with food in the evenings so i thought that if i do CD food will be totally out the equation for now whilst i get to grips with losing some serious lbs.
I'm doing this for many reasons and one big reason is my health, i'm 30 years old and i'm suffering from high blood pressure, i spend so much time worrying about the long term effects of this. i also have 3 children so i want to do it for them and also my oh who suffers from my mood swings and lack of confidence, so i really need this to work.
I have about 8 stone to lose but would be happy with losing 6 this year, i so hope it is manageable, i said at xmas dinner 2008 that by xmas 2009 i want to be a different woman. I don't want to have to eat my words !!!
I'm wondering how much prep you guys did before starting CD ss ? My CDC asked me to reduce carbs and stick to a low cal diet which i am on when being good on Slim Fast, but am finding that hard come dinner time. so will this effect me during my first week ?
Also to all those CD'ers that manage on this diet whilst having to feed a family and having kids around with food, how do you cope ? I have started to get really angry with people in my house who do not scrape their dinner plate once finished as i know that this could cause a problem for me but how do i get the family to understand how important it is that they do little things like this to help me ? I have spent a good few months weighing up the pros and cons of doing CD and i really feel like its my only option as i'm one of those who needs good results and fast-ish, i just hope that the family can support me on those hard days.
P.S love this site and all the support, i wouldn't have stuck to SF for as long as i did if it wasn't for the lady's on the SF section so thankyou to them.
Thankyou in advance xx
