The two kinds of people who do a VLCD
- Thread starter icemoose
- Start date
Have been SS on the CD for seven weeks as of tomorrow and have lost 27lbs. On a 12 week challenge to lose 43lbs. Got 18lbs more too lose in five weeks to get to 9.7. I'm not going to cheat but I have been feeling pretty sorry for myself the past couple of days! Misery! Can't believe I haven't eaten more than 450cals for seven weeks. On the upside I am not a healthy bmi!

My son said to me yesterday mum are you not missing food (on the way to the chip shop), I said no I know what chips & Gravy taste like I've eaten what I want when I want for 30 years, a few months going without it is nothing if it gives me a better healthier body. I don't feel trapped or deprived of food it's there if I want it but I don't want it I want to be slimmer more, that is more tasteful than any bag of chips & gravy!

Fantastic post.
Food is actually my prison, not dieting. I lost stone and a half between may and july on CD and got to goal (looked and felt fab!) Then just stopped. Put back on 8lbs so followed juddd on hols and lost 9lbs. Came back and could not control my food intake, i was mrs starve/binge. Buying loads of s**t food and sneaking off to my car or my room to stuff my face, and not telling anyone, now that is imprisonment-secret bingeing!
I really want to come back to CD to rediscover the self control that the diet gave me, that in itself is a freedom to me. Freedom to look at food and not stuff it all in so that i feel/am sick! The mental freedom of not beating myself up about what goes in my mouth is another positive of CD that i remember.
I am heavily in to sports/fitness and do martial arts and running 5/6 times a week so going back to 'normal' step2 (which is what i did the whole time previously) is not really an option for me as i don't want to stop training and lose fitness (amazing i can be overweight but still fit?!) but i need energy to train.
My plan therefore is this: have two step2 meals a day, one at brekkie and one at dinner time with my 3 shakes whenever i want them. We'll see how that goes. If anyone has any thoughts or similar experiences I'd love to know
But making this decision has made me relax for the first time this week as i KNOW this works!

Ah this was such a helpful thread! I'm definitely all-or-nothing as well, I'm hoping that doing CD will help me change my attitude towards food and develop a healthier outlook! Food is fuel, I need to stop abusing my body by eating excessive amounts of junk food and then wondering why I'm such a little tubster!
