Well, this is the first day of my diary and my first day on CD.
I want to lose 3 and a half stone by June 11th this year as its one of my best friends wedding and my boyfriends birthday over that weekend.
I've always been overweight, I did manage to lose 3 stone with WW 3 years ago, but that's all gone back on plus more. Eating is something I can't seem to control at the moment. So that's why I've started the CD, I figure taking food out of the equation is the best place to start.
I've decided to start this online diary as I haven't got much support at the moment. My boyfriend (although he's trying to be supportive) thinks the right and only way to lose weight is by eating less and moving more. He doesn't agree with the CD way of losing weight, most other people I've mentioned it to agree as well. So I'm hoping writing this diary will get me some support from other members on the site.
I've been overweight for too long now. I look back at all my photos when I was a lot thinner and can see how much happier and better I look then. I'm sick of wearing the same clothes, being reluctant to buy new ones as I tell myself I'll lose the weight but I never do. I hate feeling this big, I feel ginormous (is that an actual word?!) next to my boyfriend. I'm just not the real me any more. Hell, I'm a PE teacher and not the best role model to inspire my kids.
So that's my reasons for taking the plunge to start CD.
Today has been ok in all honesty. I have to admit my biggest fear about starting the diet was if I'd cope without food. But I've managed and coped today. I' only felt hungry for my dinner, but I purposefully held off eating it until I was really hungry. Am writing this before making my last shake (am going to try butterscotch) then heading to bed for an early night.
How are other people doing? Had good success on CD?
