Sometimes people say your first time on the CD is your golden time.
On Day 6 of my seventh or so restart since the three years since that golden time, I now remember why.
The first time it never occurred to me to cheat. I was just on it until it had finished, until I was at target, full stop.
Now I know the diet better, I feel little compromises creep into my head like "But you're happy a stone over target", or "One day off won't hurt", or "SS was designed for morbidly obese people & you're not so you can invent your own additions".
This time though, is closer to that golden time than any since. I am fed up of being fat, feeling squashed by my own body, and I just want it to work.
I wish I didn't feel hungry on this Day 6, I wish I wasn't busy this weekend and travelling so that sorting out shakes and water is a big gaff, but, just because I can feel my leggings are looser already, is no reason to compromise!
I'm not weighing this time, just going by clothes, & although I already look better I can't kid myself that I won't look much better without those couple of stone I've been carrying around for most of the last year. I WILL stick to a VLCD because I know it works and because I know in another week or so, this will have become routine.
As someone titled their thread recently: Hunger isn't An Emergency. Yes, if I'm really flagging I might have an extra pack or a green and white meal, but I'm in this, I'm committed and I can't wait to feel slim & fit back into some of my lovely clothes and have cheekbones again!
There, that's myself told...
