I've been a fan of VCL Diets for a while having lost 4 stones on Cambridge and then a similar amount on Exante
I'm about to restart exante on Monday but want some advice from people out there
I know the diet will work. I know I wont feel hungry. I know I have the willpower to stick to it
My problem is what happens after the diet.....
Im a 'stressy' person and I comfort eat. My partners all but useless in supporting me. His idea of support is to put me down and say Im fat in the hope Ill lose weight - then theres a spiral of eating because Im upset and gaining even more weight so there has been a bit of a delay in restarting
Stress causes real problems too as I tend to eat when Im stressed to the max - in the past deaths, illnesses and being a carer have all triggered off eating to the point that I have gained the weight lost and more besides
Im trying to set some targets here... the first one to lose the weight and the second to maintain long term. Whats the average weight I can expect to lose and whats best to enhance weight loss
What bars and drinks do people find best to use whilst on the diet as I dont like the exante ones
And majorly whats the best way of dealing with post diet maintainance - I really dont want to go through another 6 or 7 months to undo all of that good work again. I am trying to focus on myself and having the future I deserve and being confident to chose who I want that future to be with but it all seems a long way away at the moment
Thanks
