So much for the re-start last Monday.
I'll explain from the top...i moved to Bristol and have been searching for a CDC. I emailed all potential cdcers to find the closest to my area, as i do not drive.
All the cdcers contacted me back quite quickly but were all too far away for me to possibly get to. But one cdc contacted me and explained that she went to clients homes because she was in lodgings. Great, i thought. We arranged for last Monday. She didn't show up. I emailed her to see whether she got lost or had forgotten. 3 days later i got a reply, she was unwell and was sorry. We all get ill, so i happily accepted it and re-arranged for the wednesday.
Again on the Wednesday there was a no show. I emailed her and said i hoped she was well (assuming she was still unwell) I heard nothing from her until the sunday when she emailed explaining that my emails were all in her junk folder and she had only noticed it in there when she went in to delete it. Strange i thought, but i know how technology can be, so gave her the benefit of the doubt. We re-arranged for Tuesday (i couldn't make monday)
For the third time this counsellor did not show up at my home at 4.30 as arranged and agreed with her only two days before!
I sent an email on tuesday evening, when it was clear she wasn't going to show up. I tried to be nice in the email, but i had to put this lady in my position. Like most of you, the reason we are here is because we are desperate to loose weight and quickly. I am getting married in August and need to shift my weight. I thought a way of getting through to her would be to explain my situation.
"I am very committed to starting this diet and hopefully carrying it through to the end. I get married in August. I really need a cdc who is committed to helping me too. This is an important part of the diet in order for me to succeed. If you can not committ yourself please say, and i can approach and make arrangements to see another cdc."
I recieved a reply from her the next day saying how sorry she was, and she could definately make thursday (yesterday) as it is her day off from work, and the day she focuses on most of her clients. (If only she had told me this before i thought) So we arranged for 5.00pm when i knew i'd be home from work.
For some reason i thought in my head that she would definately show up this time - such a convincing email.
I have now officially given up on this CDC. All she has done is mess me about for 2 weeks. I keep thinking what if i had seen her once, started the diet and ran out of shakes, how would i cope with being shakeless for 2 weeks.
Now i'm back to square one. Unable to find a CDC that is local to me. Most of them are at least 30 mins (driving) away. So would take me an hour easily on foot. I've been on the website and contacted all the cdc's in Bristol, none are close to me.
I just cant believe that a cdc would let me down so many times. I just don't know what to do next.
