Hi all just thought I would share my journey with you.
I did Cambridge last year for around 6 weeks (although only really stuck and it and didn't cheat for about two) I lost around 2 stone 4 pounds ( I have a lot to loose). For whatever reason I gave up and slowly went back to my old eating habits ( eating everything insight).
So now a year later I decided to restart. I went and got weight last week and have still kept a stone and 4 pounds off, which I am very happy about.
I got enough products to last me until this Friday, I stick to what I know the mango and banana shakes and the cranberry bars.
Last Tuesday was my first day, I got through the whole day without cheating. I by no means was a fun day especially working a 12 hour shift and having a constant headache all afternoon but I managed it. However, it all went down hill from there I was sneakily eating a slice of bread here, grapes there and evening ramming a choc roll down my one day last week, ever so quick so no one saw ( Why I bothered who saw as I am only letting my self down)By Sunday I was fed up and decided to eat a ginormous roast dinner, that made me feel physically sick by the end of it. Sunday night I spent in bed, upset and frustrated that I couldn't do a simple diet which really requires no thought just control.
So yesterday rather than being the defeatist that I am I decided I am going to do this diet, I really do want to loose 3 stone by the end f June ( Which should be easy considering I have a lot to loose) and I won't give up.
I got through the whole of a yesterday without cheating when it came to eating my chicken salad it took me forever to finish as I did feel full.
Today is day 2 I feel fine, I do feel hungry and a bit light headed but that's only because I am holding out for my shake a bit longer. I get weighed on Friday And will be happy with even a small loss as every little helps.
I guess the message from this is - Don't give up. This diet is not a walk in the park but if you keep going admit when you go wrong, dust your shoulders off and get back on track then eventually we will all get to where we want to be.
That's how I see it anyway
