Hi everyone! I have been a lurker on this forum ever since I started Dukan in September and it has been such great inspiration and support for me. I finally registered today so that I can start my own thread because I am finding that, after two months on the diet, it is very difficult for me to stick to on the weekends and I am looking for some moral support/advice please.
Basically what I seem to have been doing for the past three weeks is binge eating every weekend. It's generally because we have a dinner party or an evening out and I just think 'aw - I'll just go off it tonight and start again tomorrow' - but then 'tomorrow' doesn't seem to be until Monday! So I am really only following the PP/PV strictly on weekdays and on the weekends I am bingeing! Although I have had a good weight loss on the diet so far and am really pleased with the results, I can't help but thinking that as I am no longer following the diet properly, that it won't (the next phases) won't actually work for me... ie, because I am bingeing on chocolate, bread, other carbs on the weekends, I am not slowly reintroducing carbs into my system. Does anyone know if this affects the rest of the diet/doesn't work/is really unhealthy... I feel like I need to hear something like that to persuade me not to do it anymore! It is so frustrating too because I am only a few pounds away from my 'True weight' (supposed to be 150 but I would like to get to 145) and because of the weekly binges I just keep hovering around the 155 mark. Does anyone have any insight/advice? Thanks very much... WM x
PS. Are we allowed to meet up with people from this site? If we are and anyone lives in Wimbledon and wants to meet up for mutual support once in a while I would be keen. If not, perhaps we're allowed diet buddies?!
