Sorry, stupid title but I couldn't think of a better way to word it!.
I've been on this diet nearly 13 weeks, and have lost over 3 stone. I'm getting loads of comments from people who know me, and even from other mum's at school who don't know me - all congratulating me on my weight loss, and asking my secret.
Now, the thing is, no-one know's I'm doing CD. And to be honest, I don't WANT anyone knowing.
So when they ask me how I've lost the weight so quickly, I lie
I say I started before Christmas(started early Feb), so they think I've been dieting longer.
I blame my 'sudden' loss on the fact I've been bundled up in jumpers for months, and have suddenly started wearing my tightr summer things.
I tell them I did it by diet and exercise.
So basically I'm not giving credit to CD for my weight loss, and I feel guilty. Which is absurd!, but I do.
I feel I should be shouting about CD from the rooftops, but don't actually want people to think I was so desperate to lose the weight that I resorted to a 'last resort' diet.
But then I feel indignant, and think that actually I HAVE lost the weight myself. My willpower and effort have stopped me eating the wrong stuff, and keep on with the diet, even though at times I've really felt like giving up.
So which feeling is right (if either can be considered 'right' or 'wrong').
Sorry, bit of a heavy subject, but I felt I needed to get it down, and see what others felt.
Having read this back I'm still not sure what I should do in future if people ask, but, I'm stuck between not wanting people to know, and not lying to them either
The joy of having a conscience, eh
