So here I am on the Cambridge Diet again!
I did the diet about a year and a half ago, I lost just over 3 stone on Cambridge, and learnt some valuable lessons from it.
Then I stopped the diet, a stone and a half off my goal weight. I stopped because I couldn't afford to keep up with it.
The good news?.... A year and a half on and I haven't gained! In fact I did lose a further 7lbs, but then gave up smoking and put that back on. So basically back to where I was when I was last on the diet.
The bad news?.... I should have been at my target weight a long time ago. My diet has changed massively since shedding the weight, and I am a self confessed gym addict. I am perfectly capable of maintaining my weight, what I can't do is lose this last little bit. Did I eat too much? Not enough? Exercise too much? Gain a pound of muscle every time I lost a pound of fat?...... I don't know. I've tried everything, I'm bored of fighting with my weight, I need to do this once and for all, CD works. FACT.
My motto: quick and painful, it's gonna hurt, it's gonna be tough. But I'm bored of asking myself all the above questions and finishing where I started.
Here's the thing..... It's day 3, ss+ (apparently they don't let u do just 3 packs anymore, so I've gone for 3 packs and a small meal). Today I am finding it tough because I am hungry, but I still have the same positive attitude I had on Friday when I started. It's Easter weekend and I am so serious about doing this that I started on Good Friday! That in itself shows my dedication surely?
I got a lot of stick the last time I did this diet. I am not justifying my actions to anyone, and if one more person tells me 'it's not good for me' I'm gonna flip out and tell them about themselves (funny how it's always those who have a long line of failed diets who have something to say)
Anyway, for that reason I have decided that this is going to be my place to talk, ask, vent and praise. I hope you all welcome me with open arms. I found the forums on this site so helpful the last time I did the diet, but never contributed.
So here's my two cents.... I am feeling hungry but still feeling positive. I am here to support as well as be supported.
