Hi everyone,
I am excited to be starting a maintenance diary and I have realised I really need something that I can be accountable for...to keep me on track.
A bit about my cd journey so far....
I'm 25 and realised after christmas that my weight and binges were starting to become out of control. I decided to take control and look for a program in the UK that suited me. I had been on diet after diet back in Australia, and found they would work in the short term, but I would put the weight lost back on in time.
So after some searching I found CD, suited my budget, was easy preparation wise (just need to grab a shake) and was said to have good results.
So I made my first appointment to see my CDC and started 2nd Feb this year. Since then I have lost 38.5lbs and have 7lbs to go to get to goal.
I feel great I must admit, clothes look good, more confident etc. But recently my CDC is getting me on maintenance and I am finding being out of ketosis hard, to the point where this week I have not had one good day so far, and binging again (literally til I make myself sick....I'm ashamed to admit it, but I need to get on track, and to name and shame my behaviour may help).
Last night was the last straw for me, after eating far too much in one short sitting (consuming easily over 1000 cals) I thought that is it, asked myself 'What am I doing to myself?' It is not as if it feels good eating it, I know how good I feel when I am looking good, so why would I jeopardise it? I still do not know the answer to that question! But what I do know is that I need to get on track and change.....this I am hoping will be the path to success, a diary, a place to get support while on maintenance.......
So ..... my journey (now the difficult part, the SS was the easy part I really believe!) starts here.....
My aim is to look in on the threads when updated and post daily how I go....I really want to stick to doing this in the good days and bad. I do not want to be another person that begins a maintenance diary, gets off track and puts all the weight back on....I want to learn the skills I need for life, good food choices, calories, etc.
So ..... so far today - not sure what plan my CDC is going to get me to do after the week I have had, so I will update that after 3 when I visit her.
Thank you to everyone who posts regularly on the maintenance thread and Jess, who suggested I pop over and visit....its great inspiration and nice to know that I am not the oly one who finds this journey hard at times.
