Urgh, here I am again. Long story short is I tried Cambridge twice before, both times giving up and cheating after day two, I guess my head wasn't in it and I wasn't ready for the high level of committment that it requires.
I'm now 12.9 stone, so 3 stone overweight. I'm normally a size 8 and 9.7, but months of comfort and binge eating has piled the pounds on me and I've never been so down about my weight or size.
This is me at my smallest, 9.7 stone and a size 8..
I'm really impatient, and if I don't see fast results and rapid change then I get disheartened and give up. That's why I came to to CD in the first place, for the fast results and to take food out of the equation for a little while - I need to regain some self control with food which I've really lost hold of. So I've got 3 stone to lose, and like most people wanna lose it as soon as possible, but also want to keep it off.
Only thing is I'm undergoing surgery in six weeks time, and have been told by my surgeon that I must be following a healthy diet and a healthy calorie amount two weeks prior to surgery. So I'd have to make sure that I'd upped the steps in four weeks, and was on at least step 4 for the two weeks prior to the op.
I'd definitely start on SS+ but not sure how to up the steps? As I have a short amount of time to do it within. The thing I like about CD and upping the steps is that it'll teach me about portion sizes and give me some control back when it comes to food and overeating.
So if I was to start back on SS+ tomorrow, how would people advise I go about it and upping the steps? How long should I stay on each step and what advice do you all have?
I was going to go along the calorie counting route, but there's too much freedom there which isn't helpful for someone whose overcoming binge eating issues.
