[ayshaahmad]

Oh hun I completely understand how u feel, but the more comments u get the better u will feel, our brains play funny tricks when we look in the mirror, the scales and inch loss proves u are loosing so keep going! As for the social life your friends should understand and will be there when u finish!!! Hugs hunny keep smiling u are always so positive x

 

[Yolande]

Thanks hun =) Yeah im sure this feeling will pass i much prefer to be positive =D

 

[ClaireCat]

Im exactly the same. I dont notice any difference when I look in the mirror. Well, sometimes I think I've definitly lost weight on my face, then I think its got fatter.... I blame the mirror, personally!

 

[Yolande]

Ha ha ha i like that i think i shall also blame my mirror =D

Today i have felt better still been feeling hungry finished all 3 products by 17:30 =S hoping its just a phase cos im pretty sure its the bars making me hungry but i love them sooo much.. drank soooo much water today and have literally not been off the loo but didnt drink much yesterday so tried to make up for it =D

 

[infiniteandserene]

Im sure it will pass soon which bars are your favourite?x

 

[Yolande]

Hey yeah im feeling alot better today!!! My favourite bars are the choc-mint, toffee and choc mmmmm right now they make my day ha ha ha

 

[Yolande]

So i feel much better today seem to have super smelling powers all of a sudden i smell everything LOL.
Got something on my mind some advice from you all would be really good.. When i started CD i had planned to have my 1st weekend break on snt paddy's weekend every year its a huge party and i thought at the start that will be my first mile stone and i can let my hair down.... now that im in my 7th week im having 2nd thoughts part of me wants to but an even bigger part of me does not want to. I dont know if i wud be able to jump back on the wagon =S All my friends are so excited for me coming out after so long and keep telling me about it how am i supposed to say i dont want to??? I wud go out and not drink but that wud be less fun than staying in.. Im confused ha ha but my gut feeling is to give it a miss and focus 100% on this.

 

[ayshaahmad]

I know what you mean about smells lol they seem to be very strong now!
Hmm to be honest only u know what to do, like you said it depends if u can get back to it, do u have to drink? If its for a meal maybe eat but stay low carb high protien to keep minimal damage! I know what you mean as I used to make any excuse for a night off the diet but 1 day turned to 3! Not much help I know sorry hun!!

 

[Yolande]

Thanks it did help me you are right and i cant promise myself that it would be just 1 day , im scared 1 day turns to 3 and so on... it will involve drinking too which being in ketosis is not healthy so i wud have to come out of it. I looked through all the before and after pics dated back as far as 2006 it took me ages and i thought that can be me at the end of the year and thats when i knew NO i dont want to ruin it for a weekend, my friends will just have to understand and this diet is not forever i can enjoy nights out after. I think its going to be really tough but dont think im going to have any planned breaks at all but when im on 810 i can go for meals with friends and just pick the things i can have it will be fine its the thought of not having a drink is like YIKES . If its an average of 1 stone a month and i have 6.5 more stone to lose plus the 7 weeks maintenance Its what another 7 months of my life to give this small sacrafice to finally being slim confident and happy =D I think i have just convinced myself whats more important to me right now LOL..

Back to feeling super motivated and positive!! I like feeling like feeling like this =D

 

[tastytas]

Ha ha well before i popped off to my WI i told them at work im not expecting a major loss and she said yeah it will slow down so when i came back and said i lost 6lbs her face was a picture

Haha love it!!!

 

[Yolande]

Aaaahhh i feel like i wana lock myself away until i am done with CD!!! My friend (the one who took me to her CDC to start this journey) just called me she got sacked from work yesterday and she is on one and wants me to come out drinking with her i laughed as i thought she was joking i said you know i cant im on diet thinking she would understand as she has done it.. she then said you can drink vodka it wont do any harm and a little cheat will do me good i said i dont want to and she said i have become so boring =(((( She lost 2 stone on cd and has put back almost a stone now and its like she is encouraging me to not succeed after being my biggest supporter... why?????My mom( who lives in scotland) and you lot on here is the only support i now have... no-one here where i live gggrrrr im actually so mad now YET even more bloody determined to achieve my goal!! Sorry for ranting =D

 

[Yolande]

Haha love it!!!

Oh yes that would be the witch from work

 

[Jelliebabe]

oh Yolande... your friend should know better. Shes obviously just upset atm... hugs hon x

 

[ayshaahmad]

Oh hun what a nightmear! U know what I am not saying she is, but people who have tried Cambridge and haven't succeeded do try to sabatage u a bit its as if the see u getting smaller and are jelous of the fact u are doing so well! The social life is a killer on cd but as u said before its 7 months and its not as if u won't see them in that time, I am sure u do other things with them other than drinking, I don't drink but we used to go to resteraunts for dinner or lunch and now my social life with my friends has changed because they know I can't eat, so its cinema or shopping so I am still spending time with them but in other ways!!! You are doing fab and u have us and your mum I do not know anyone doing this diet if it wasn't for this site and my fab cdc I would of failed by now!! Keep going hun it will all be worth it in the end xxxx

Well sounds like you are doing really well and feeling pretty positive , good for you. Sounds like your friend who got sacked just needed some company on her down day, but she should understand that you are trying really hard. I'm sure she will be more supportive in a bit. People are always selfish and thinking of their own immediate needs and feelings rather than other peoples long term needs. It's only natural.

if u can avoid it dont do it would be my advice, i was doing it far too easily the 1st week 100%, had valentines meal (plus my CDC was then away 3 weeks n the odd things popped into my mouth :/) and i am really struggling to get back into it fully, i want to be 100% and do it all day but keep having something small in the eve ruining my hard work, im loosing a lot slower cos of this, and this week i am going to allow myself a piece of chicken or a 4th shake each eve so if i want it i know wat i can have, im 5"8 so should b on 4 a day anyhow but 3 usually works for me!!

ur doing amazing, do u want to go through the hard work of week 1 again? as eating and drinking will mean out of ketosis! u have the option of SS+ meal to remain in ketosis but would that just tempt u??

 

[Yolande]

Thanks guys after i calmed down i did think maybe i should understand her better as she is going through a bad time but another part of me feels she does not paticulary like that im doing so well just because its not the first time she has suggested i cheat =S either way i offered to go out and do something else she declined so what more can i do... Im doing this for me and no-one else so i think i really need to stop letting the negetivity of others mess with my head so from now on only happy positive thoughts ha ha no more rants =D

I have been thinking about that weekend off ALOT but what your saying is exactly what i am affraid of :sigh: So i have decided no planned breaks i need to do this 100% all the way i know myself to well and i dont know if i could ever get back on the wagon 100% im thinking its what another 7 months (hopefully ) i can sacrafise that time to achieve this i can find other ways to socialise Thanks for the advice.

 

[Miss H]

good for u, putting urself first shows u have self respect and u are so focussed and loosing amazing losses ul b dont on this in no time!!!

if u have compramised and she doesnt want to do something u can both do then let her be, if u were ill and on antibiotics would she react the same?!?!

this time is all about u doing what u need to for urself and if people want u to sabotage it for u for there few hours of company then are they really friends??

be strong and carry on with ur amazing journey!!

 

[Yolande]

Its WI number 7 for me tomorrow cant believe i have gone so long already, it helps that time is flying for me i wonder if this will be the week when the scales dissapoint me as i have been having amazing losses but like i said before as long as they are going down il be a happy bunny =D
