Hi everyone
I've been reading through the site and forum (was referred from mn) and really feel the diet is for me. I'm prepared (well as prepared as I can be!) for it to be hard but I really want to lose this weight as it's affecting me to the point that I don't want to go out sometimes. I was always a size 12 before children but now I'm a size 18 and just don't feel like 'me'.
The thing that worries me is the maintainence, will I ever be able to go back to tea and toast for breakfast? Will I ever be able to have a takeaway once a week? I do know that it's a huge lifestyle change and if I slip back into my old ways the weight will go back on but what do you all eat on the maintainance? Oh and wine, I do love my wine! I know I won't be able to have it on the diet but afterwards??? I suppose things are ok in moderation but never having embarked on anything like this before I just feel a bit overwhelmed by it all. If I was to lose my weight doing this diet would I be able to maintain it by counting my points as in Weight Watchers, or is there a special ongoing maintainence diet for CD?
All that aside, the results sound absolutely fantastic and reading through all these posts has been really inspirational. You all seem to have had such success on it.
Sorry for so many questions, I just need to get my head around it all.
Look forward to hearing from you.
