Hi All,
I think I am going to do a 'formal' restart in my head for the Cambridge diet. The last few weeks have been kind of silly having gained almost 6 lb while still doing the diet but cheating quite a bit.
I'm going to re-evaluate what was working and what wasn't the first few weeks. I think I'm going to go back to SS because its so easy and I don't feel hungry during the day so it really is do-able. When I was talking about doing SS+ and 810 it was really just an excuse to eat bad foods. I'm going to make sure I read my list of reasons to lose the weight each morning and remind myself what the point is!
I've determined that a lot of the reason why I'm eating is that I'm associating food with stress management. I eat when I'm stressed and I'm not sure how I can disassociate those two things before I complete the diet. Does anyone have any tips on this?
I've also setup a cheat jar. If I cheat on a day, I owe my cheat jar $1 for every 100 kcal over 600 and for every 10 carbs over 70. I figure if I 'donate' anything it'll go towards my gym membership or the next purchase of CD!
Any other ideas? My water intake has been great, right around 3-4 liters so I'm not worried about that, just staying on track with having the shakes and nothing more!
By the way - thank you all for being so amazing. I don't know that I would have been able to do what I already have without you.
