Hi all!
I was just wondering how often your CDC weighs you?
I see mine every two weeks, I have asked if we could do weekly - I tend to need the motivation, plus helps me stay on track, can see if not done as good and then tighten my belt etc, two weeks to me on this diet is along time without needing that reassurance that the weights coming off... does that make sense?
Anyhow, she only does fortnightly weigh ins, is this normal, or would another counsellor do things differently maybe? She's a lovely lady, but we've done no measurements, and she doesn't seem to know too much about the diet itself- I've learnt heaps more by being a member of this site...
And (last question) - and not meaning to offend anyone at all - but how do you get to be a CDC? Shouldn't you have had to lose weight doing the diet and maintain it etc in order to help clients and give the best chance to them? I mean, my CDC has said she's done the diet but then she says she has put all the weight back on, is she still ok to be a counsellor? She keeps saying she will go back on it, and twice I've seen her she says she will 'get around' to re-starting... I just wondered if you had to have lost and maintained your weight for a while to show you can be an inspiration to others before becoming a CDC?
I know all the counsellors on here seem to be an inspiration, yet I lost 8lbs my first weigh in - had a few off days so I was really chuffed with that, yet she gave me a 'nevermind' and told me I could do better...
Just feeling like I'm doing this diet all alone and it would be nice if some support could come from the CDC? I know when I've done Rosemary Conleys before we had a fantastic instructor at the weekly classes and her motivating you for that brief time once a week could really keep you on the straight and narrow...
Hope its ok to ask!
