Katycakes Won't Give Up...

Hello Trisha, Shanny, Wales & Jess! Thanks for calling in! Shanny, I am hopeless, when on CD I weigh daily... not always a good thing! But allowing myself at the moment because I didn't go near the scales all through December, knowing I wouldn't like what they'd tell me. At least this way I know what is happening! Jess, hope you are feeling a bit better... at least it's the weekend and you can curl up and rest...

Hope everyone has a great day!

OK... Day 9 dawns. The scales have moved down by a lb so now 12st 8. This makes me happy, although I know progress will be much slower now... want to make sure I don't expect miracles as week 2 is not as dramatic as week 1! My mini goal is to get to 12st 4, which (shock, horror) is where I was at the start of December, when I had a spate of failed CD starts. CDC was telling me how much I could lose by Xmas if I stuck to it... instead what did I do? Put on a stone. How easy to gain, how hard to get back off again... please, let my weary brain remember that lesson this time around.

Another busy day... assorted errands, work (home-based) and supporting DD who has a major art project and a looming deadline and needs lots of motivation! OH & friends meeting in pub tonight but have to drive daughter to town also so will cry off on that basis, maybe just calling in at the end for a fizzy water... we are a drive from pub anyhow so someone needs to be sober for lifts home!

Yesterday my Beck Diet Solution book arrived. Began reading this morning and so far it makes a LOT of sense and I am feeling really hopeful. It is definitely designed for people like me who have a tendency to self-sabotage, and it gives you tools to counter the destructive thought patterns. It's not a diet, so won't interfere with CD, but is aimed to help you STICK to a diet and maintain goal. I am determined to follow it slowly & by the book, to let the ideas sink in. This morning my task was to write a card with my reasons for wanting to lose weight on it. Normally a bit dismissive of this sort of thing but I gave it some thought and did it and later I'll decorate the other side of the card with some collage or cartoons to make it more meaningful.

Feeling good. One shake down and a busy Saturday about to unfold!

Hi DM, Chels & Bess!

DM, that is WEIRD, my Beck book just arrived... bedtime reading I think. It looks GOOD. We can try & support each other with it, apparently you are supposed to get a 'Beck Buddy' or something, I have been snooping over on the 'Bring Your Head Inside' threads elsewhere on forum. Can't wait to start on it, anyway... anything that might help has to be worth a go.

Just seen this ^, yes i'll be your beck buddy. From what you've just posted it sounds like a good book to sort out the head stuff. Definately what i need because i am a self saboteur also. Hopefully my book will arrive soon and we can support each other. Good luck with day 9 x
 
Thanks DM. Feeling quite hopeful with the book, hope yours arrives soon and that it chimes with you as well... have a great day!

It is hard isnt it!! lol ive woken up staring at them but i didnt cuz i know if i wasnt happy id be really upset again.

So will find out tomorrow i suppose, enjoy your saturday x
 
Katy, you know that I also am a serial scale hopper and I know that things are on the slide when I don't want to get on them and face the truth of what they are saying...amazing how we can sometimes think its just us but a lot of us on here are so similar in our habits and thoughts. Hope you have a good evening, enjoy the sparkly water and think of me out dealing with detrius of society later in this breezy weather! Brrr! x
 
Good luck Sleepy... it's blowing a gale here, hope it's a bit calmer where you are! Let's hope it's not such a 'wild' night for you!

Brilliant loss hun!!! Well done :D

Thanks so much for your kind words and support, It means a lot :heartpump:

I hope you have a wonderful weekend Xxxx
 
Day 11 for me... have had my shake and onto the first herb tea of the day... here we go again!
Scales stayed the same, which is fine. Last night I had an extra shake, I was hungry and decided not to feel bad about it, as last time around I got the whole way on 4 packs a day because of being 5' 8". This time I am trying only to take the 4th if I really need it, so although I've had a half extra before this was the first time to have the whole thing.

Today, busy but home-based, and no rain so will try to make time for a walk and read some more of my Beck book. Hope everyone has a good day.

Hey Katy,
Hope you've had a good sunday! Def have an extra shake if you feel you need it hun, its one of the CD rules 5ft 8 above have 4 a day, i would def advise my customers as such too, obv your choice though, cdc can only advise i suppose.

Here's to another fab week ahead hunny!

Hello there!

thinking about a return- just dont know if CD is what I'll go for this time, my little boy is a good eater but he eats better when we eat meals together...oh, is this just all excuses?! Anyways,haven't stepped on scales but pretty chuffed with still fitting most of my clothes since HB left me in June and dieting has taken a back seat till now.Feel myself slipping into old habits and have hibernated a bit with the snow that we had up here in Dec.

Hope you're well. x
 
Thanks Lelly... my CDC told me to try and do without, but the booklet does say it's OK I know. I really needed it last time around, I was SO hungry without the 4, but so far this time have been OK. I will definitely up to 4 if I need to, promise.

Curly, SOOO good to see you! How brilliant! (Class of 2009 reunion going on here! We are a stubborn lot!) Wooo, where are you off to on hols?

Angela!!! Thanks for calling in! It sounds like you are doing really well weight wise, but really sorry to hear about the split. That must be very hard. You probably don't need to do CD hun, but if you want to, why not go for one of the higher plans so that you can eat with the little ones? Either way, you can post on here and get lots of support. We had a lot of snow too but I think it was worst where you are... no wonder you needed to hibernate!

Morning Katy, Hope you ar well this Monday and rady for a great week!
Just searched for alternative to MAM and although not official it seems some people use vege gel instead to make a MAM, not sure of the nutritional content of it so don't relly know whether it would affect anything, will try to find out more though!
xx
 
Lol... Lelly, see my post on your thread... I am now officially your slave for life! And in sudden need of a trip to the health food shop for vege gel... woo hoo!

Today is Day 12. Still early days but starting to feel settled and content in the diet, which is wonderful. Looking forward to seeing CDC to get official weigh in (won't be as much as my stats say as it's not a first-thing weigh, but so what) and to collect some bars & perhaps some different shakes which will make the days a bit more varied. Plan is to SS until the end of Day 28, then 810 to goal... but we'll see how things go. Scales still stuck today, but that doesn't bother me... happy and hopeful today.

Hope everyone else has a lovely day!

Hi hun, still waiting on a reply from the consultants forum hun, got a feeling that vege gel has dextrose in it from what i can see on the interweb!
 
Morning KC, glad you are in the zone and feeling positive and happy........long may it continue.

28 days will soon pass, in the grand scheme of things, its no time at all but the difference at the end of it will be huge. x
 
Thanks Lelly & Chels. I will wait for the all-clear Lelly, promise! Chelsea, hope Day 2 is a good one for you & thanks for the support!

Cheers for Katy! Yay! xx
