I'm having a very deep and thoughtful morning.I've just left a reply for other member because I wanted to support and encourage her. I realised that though helping her I was helping myself.The things I was sharing with her I needed to share with myself.This is an excellent site,so pleased I found it.
It's a brilliant site and will keep you motivated. Everytime I feel like straying from the cd path, and also when everyone is eating in my house, I log in and read all the great posts, and look in the gallery...it's great
Well I've not been a great success with taking the carbs out of my diet.Started well then it all went to the wind as soon as my partner when out.I got out my book and ate 3 bags of crisps!! I started berating myself straight after telling myself,you'll never make it on the CD if you cant even take cabs out your diet!!!Oh well I thought I'll still do it anyway.
I did the same thing (and always have!!!) as soon as I tell myself, right i'm going to diet now, I get the strong urge to fill my face with rubbish!! I did that up to the day I started cd, but I can honestly say, I haven't eaten anything, not even licked my fingers! Maybe it's the thought of blowing the money spent on the diet, I don't know, but I do know that there has been numerous times when I could have eaten quite easily, but I haven't. I think because the weight loss is quick on this diet, there is more incentive to keep going.
I've got a rotten cold but I'll still go to the meeting thursday,so I can get started.I'm not even enjoying food anymore,even the naughty stuff.It's so not doing it for me.I'm in a place where I need something to happen.I'm sick of hiding away and having no life because my self confidence and self esteem are none existant.I don't want to go out because of the way I look.Part of me says you can and should go out, do what you want inspite of that,and thats what I'd tell anyone else to do.If I really want to go anywhere I do grin and bear it but its no fun and I'm not relaxed enough to enjoy it.But I've been living this way for so long I dont feel like I want to put the effort in any more,staying in would be so much easier.Which sounds crazy I know,but I'm hoping when I start lossing weight and gaining confidence and feel good about myself I'll feel energized enough to get up and go!!
In no time you'll be worrying what new clothes to buy to go out!!!
Thats the plan.So I'm just waiting till thursday when hopefully it will begin the process of making my changes.Do you think I'm putting to much faith in the diet,if I can stick to it,of being a cure all!
No I think your right to put faith in this diet and more importantly yourself...you can do it!
?!Hope not,but it's bound to make a positive difference if I can drop some weight!! Am i has crazy as I feel right now or are there others out there that relate to what I'm saying??I'd value your ideas if there are.
Can't wait to put a little weight loss checker thingy on my profile on friday morning!!
