to lose long trek
Full Member
I started my dieting with CD at the beginning of January this year and used supplies my sister let me have to get started. She gave me two weeks of shakes/soups with the idea that I would see how I got on with them; I just wanted a kickstart into losing some weight. The end of the trial period came and I thought I might try it for another 4 weeks as it was bearable, tasted okay and I would probably benefit from sticking with it for just a bit longer. To do this I had to find a counsellor and go down the correct path with the GP etc. etc. So my intention was never more than a brief encounter with CD; I then met my counsellor Jemma Smart and she turned my expectations completely on the head.
Here was a woman that stood before me as tall, elegant and very attractive. I thought she could never have had first hand experience of the diet, this must be just a business to her. Will she be able to help me through the good and bad days? I should never have had those thoughts. She showed me her before and after photos; told me how she did it, how long she had kept it off and said that she had never been happier than she was right now. That was enough for me ..... she gave me the will, the steel in my backbone, that I finally needed to WANT to lose the weight. Off I went with a new approach to how I might achieve the loss I am looking for.
The next time we met, she helped me work out how I could go to a dinner party and not sway from my path. The next time we met she told me that she had entered herself to run "The New York Marathon" and she has since been giving the same determination into training for it.
Jem has been my greatest motivation for staying true to the diet plan for all these weeks. I have no intention of giving up now and I am completely focussed as you will see from any of my posts. I feel that sponsorship of her personal marathon via her chosen charity - Breast Cancer - is a wonderful way to show that her dedication is so worthwhile; both in losing over 13 stone and turning that loss into a very positive gain for the Breast Cancer charity. Please help if you can; donations - no matter how big or small - will raise the target and make a worthwhile gift to the charity, at a time when Cancer (the big C) is affecting the lives of so many.
