I'm so happy I found you guys, I honestly don't think I could have come this far without you, you all have done so brilliantly, and showed me that it can be done! Thank you all so much :sign0168:
Had a dream last night that I ate 3 chocolates!! Was strange.. I was dreaming I had a boyfriend in prison too, but that was because I watched Strangeways before bed. And before anyone asks, it wasn't that 'Andy from Little Britain' type chap who kept telling everyone to eff off:massmoon:
810 just keeps getting better, I've had 2 no 2's all by myself the last 2 mornings! Go me!!
I'm in a size 10 top this morning girls
I'll get there, gotta keep going now, eyes are on the prize!!
I made DS's tea last night & rather than thinking, yum, I could just eat this I was thinking, eew. Oven chips
All these poo's I'm having have got to be doing something!
I feel like every change on this diet is fantastic, I'm enjoying having a lovely big milky shake in the morning, and the feeling cold & constipation, which were the 2 things I was struggling with doing SS+ have gone, I'm so happy!!
Have a fantastic day beautiful ladies xx
Reading back through your up-dates has totally put the wind back in my sails...you have done so blooming brilliantly and your postive thinking about the different phases of the diet is like a re-charge for my CD batteries.
AMAZING!!!!

Morning Coral, you are an inspiration, I'm sticking with CD until I get to goal and work through maintenance, and then stick to low carb/gi.
I've tried other diets SW/WW/RC and for me they just don't work, the only one that has ever worked for me apart from CD is low carb/gi, which I did myself. So I plan to use CD to get where I want to be and maintain and then switch to low carb/gi for life. Seeing how well you have done has convinced me that it can be done.

Hi guys, wow, all your comments are amazing!
I don't think I've ever been called an inspiration, what a compliment thank you so much!
DS has been monopolising my phone, so I didn't post much over the weekend, plus I was feeling a bit crappy for no reason yesterday, the return of fed up Sunday I think.
Started re-reading my Linda Spangle book, one of the posts is about savouring food, I tried it with my bar as I've been having cravings, I took tiny bites, had a good smell of it & really paid attention to how it tasted & it toally worked!
I have bolted down my food for the last few years, probably 10, since I met SO but I remember eating munch bunch set yoghurts realllly slowly when I was a kid, I used to get the tiniest bit on a teaspoon & savour it, cut my chips into slices so they lasted longer & and I used to suck a Wispa to feel all the bubbles melt, (OK that sounds filthy!!) maybe I need to start doing this again? I enjoyed that bar so much for for it.
My neice brought me round all her WW PP stuff, I gave her all my old SW stuff, lol. I was in hog heaven reading all the recipes, maybe that's what made me feel down yesterday, feeling deprived? I'm going to go to a meeting Wed to get all the other bits that were missing & then do 3 more weeks of 810 after this one, 2 weeks of 1000 with CD mousses & the protein bars in my cupboards & then if I'm still not at goal, do WW with Dukan's protein Thursday's thrown in for good measure
I would love to get to goal with CD but my money isn't limitless plus I keep changing my goal weight, I think I need to move to a more conventional plan eventually & get the rest off that way. The trick is not to get complacent!! I need to stick to it 100% and follow the rules, if I can do CD 100% I can surely do WW.
My problem isn't carbs as such, other diets have worked for me, when I've stuck tio them! My problem is portion sizes and eating as a mood elevator, CD has helped me face those demons head on & I *hope* that I've learned from past mistakes & won't ever fall into those traps again.
Well, hope everyone has a good day! I've been stressed with DS playing up again, and got up late due to a series of events anyway, onwards...

Ah, nealry forgot, I wanted to impart some of my wisdom
I've been thinking a lot about food & CD & the rest, over the weekend, one of the things I remember reading is when you are getting disheartened, if you get a STS or a gain you just have to suck it up, what else are you going to do, give up? Are you going to just gain all the weight back? How is that better for you? Life doesn't always go to plan and if you persevere & never give up then you WILL get to where you want to be eventually, if you keep stopping & giving in then it will take you longer or you might never get there.
Just keep your head down & get on with it
Here's a link to a WW blog I read, a lot of things she has said have stuck with me. It's a bit tough love but she talks a lot of sense!

My laptop was playing up when I was downloading CD's and took an age so I ended up turning it off in a huff & forgetting to upload, tonight I will though!!
Nothing much to report today, other than I took my time with my bar again last night & I wasn't craving anything after
hope everyone has a good CD or otherwise day!

Went to WW this morning to use my free voucher to get all the bumpf for when I finish Cambridge. They were friendly enough but they all had about 20 years on me & the class was about 6 people, lol.
Bought a tracker & some bars, also bought SO's fathers day & 30th bday cards, both next month, and a skirt & more bras from Primark, and called at Tesco this morning for a skirt & shorts, couldn't find another pair of denim shorts I wanted but saw a pretty playsuit I might have to go back for tomorrow
Or I might just order them online, that way I can get the value fleece that isn't instore as my coat is too big for me now. They've got £5 off £25 so postage would be free

Just got back from my travels and you have done it!! You are doing so well.
I ate what I wanted whilst away...however I don't think I put on much but I don't want to know...have come back and am trying REALLY hard to be 100% for the next 2 weeks before I get weighed.
I am hitting the gym now too.
I am so proud of you though - well done don't leave the boards once you get to goal though some of us have a lot more to lose and need you for inspiration! x
