My Cambridge weightloss journey encouragement welcome

[carlyjbjb]

Hi everyone , my name is carly and im a single mum of 3 kids, i have tried lots of diets , eating low fat and not many calories and even the xenical tabs , but i have failed with them as having choice of what foods to buy and eat etc doesnt help me , so ive decided to start the cambridge diet as you dont really get a choice of what to eat , and im hoping this is the diet for me,, im currently a size 16 ! i feel so ugly and need to shift this fat .

I see my consultant for the first appointment tommorow night , so will be starting the diet on wednesday morning , i really hope it works.

Hi all , u had my appointment with consultant tonight and she explained everything etc. I'm still awake can't sleep , so upset I asked my mum last week if she would baby sit my 3 kids so I could go see consultant she's said yes then I called her this afternoon to see if she is still coming and her reply was are u still doing that stupid thing , ur wasting ur money you have had 3 kids be realistic your always going to be fat , - her words , I was heartbroken really bad, so I take my kids with me which was no fun , they was playing up was hard to concentrate , but I've been so upset all night that my mum said that to me , I have told her I want nothing more to do with her. I'm so so hurt my mum has no faith In me and has deemed me to be fat forever , I honestly feel like dying, my mum is awful to me , I've asked her before to have my kids for 1 hour 3 times a week so I can go gym and she's told me i would be wasting my money so no , also asked her to watch them once a month so I can go on a date and she says no and also asked her to have them overnight once a month so I can do study at home whilst doing my degree as its hard having 3 kids distracting you , and she said no to that too, she refuses to help me in any shape or form , I am so hurt..........

Sorry that your mom is the way that she is. Will probably explain a lot about why you're overweight when you start looking at things. However use it as a driving force to succeed. Put your anger into the diet x

hi all update day 2 , well last night i had leak and potato soup about 9pm , didnt have no cravings for food last night which was good, woke up today in a good mood , felt light headed on school run tho, came home and mixe the banana shake , and it made me heav it was awful tried to drink most but left abit , emailed my consultant to tell her i need to swap the shakes for soups , so i will be on 3 soups a day instead , gonna try the spicy tomato shortly if thats horrible will be swapping that aswell for leak and chicken and mush i hope its nice tho.

had to go drs to get some cream i needed mid morning and on way home my daughter was hungry so i bought her a roll with lettuce, salad cream , cheese and ham in , which is my fave roll ever , i did it to see if i would give in , a little goal for myself , and i havent , she ate half then didnt want no more so i threw the rest in the bin , i really wanted to devour it but i didnt i won the battle lol , gotta stay positive !! hope i feel ok 2moro day 3 and 4 i am dredding . thanks for reading x

[carlyjbjb]

[sarahjt]

hey hun i had that on day 2 it means your body is going into ketosis which is a good thing make sure you drink plenty of water also if you get to the point your going to faint which i did have couple small cubes of chicken i got a breast of chicken and boiled it only had 2 little pieces just to keep me going and it worked i found that i needed to do that the first 2-3 days till it passed it wont affect weight loss as i still lost 9lb and it was totm aswell x hope your ok you should wake up tomorro feeling great stick with it hun today is the worst day and then it will be so much easier X

 

[carlyjbjb]
