Hello - I dont know if anyone recognises my name but I have done the Cambrdige diet once before about this time last year and although I used to read these boards daily to keep me going I didnt post that regularly.
I lost about 1 1/2 stone last year and unfortunately due to spending 2 weeks in an all exclusive resort then my birthday then Christmas, the weight has slowly crept back on as I have fallen back into my old habits and also stopped exercising.
At the start of every week I tell myself I am going to start eating better but I dont have the willpower to just have 1 square of chocloate - I have to have the whole bar!!! I think this is why Cambridge worked so well for me last time as it was much stricter meaning i knew exactly what I could and couldnt have. It also took food completely out of the equation for a while meaning I could reflect on old habits (meal sizes, cooking methods etc) so that when I started maintaining I kept the weight off for a while.
Anyway, as it is the only thing that has really worked for me in the past I am considering restarting. My cdc is available to take me on again but I'm just not sure I am really ready to put part of my life on hold again (i.e. dinner parties, cooking, baking) so I would love to hear from any other restarters about whether I should a) just go for it and my life/ plans will just fit in around it or b) I should hang on until I feel a bit more ready...although when is anyone ever ready for something like this?!?!
Thanks and I look forward to getting to know you guys again! xxx
