Hey chaps,
I did CD last year and went from 15 stone to 12 and a halfish, when I fell off the wagon spectacularly and never managed to climb back on (i did attempt it many times) and in the end decided that it just wasnt worth putting myself thru anymore. So i stopped dieting and at christmas was weighing in at 14.2!!
I have been calorie counting and did WW for a bit (didnt rly lose much on that) and have now got down to about 13st 5ish (altho its TOTM at the moment and have gone back up to 13.7, which i am hoping is the reason!) but am fed up of losing only 4/5lbs a month when it is affecting my whole life with everything i eat.
Dont get me wrong I love that i am losing AND being able to have a life (i found losing out on the social side of things was the hardest part of CD first time around) but am starting to think that even if I only managed 6 out of 7 days SSing my losses would still be MUCH better than they are right now. I have a couple of nights out on the horizon but i could easily just drink vodka and diet coke, and the couple of meals I could just have no carbs so white meat and salad/veg and get round it that way.
Thing is I need some MAJOR encouragement if I am going to do this again, I will have to ask OH to gather up all my food (especially crisps and choccies, and my easter egg!) and save it for when I can eat normally again....
I just need some words of wisdom from you guys- encouragement, criticism, whatever you want to throw at me, im open to it all!!
