constantly confused
Hi, I'm new to the CD forums, but not to Minimins.
I did Lighter Life last year with my husband, and lost 5 stone. I probably would have liked to lose more but it was a healthy weight and I was happy.
In December, my husband left me, and I quickly put on about 2 and a half stone through a combination of comfort eating, but also not seeing the point of cooking just for me.
I started CD yesterday on SS, but am thinking about going to SS plus, or even 810 to get me into the habit of cooking for one. It seems that's my biggest problem, so it would make more sense for me to tackle that wouldn't it?
My counsellor seems great, but I don't want to divulge really personal stuff to her, and don't want to talk about it in detail. Also I go with a friend, and I'd be reluctant to start spilling my guts.
I think mixing shakes and soups is too easy and isn't going to help me long term. I am leaning towards going onto the 810 plan and having very little to eat, but slightly more choice than the SS+ so would be more likely to get into good habits.
Long term it seems more sensible to lose weight slower and get some useful skills, rather than speedy weight loss and find myself back at square one.
On the other hand, I'd love to be able to wear my size 12s again sooner rather than later!
Would love to hear other peoples opinions, and also, if anyone has any more information on the SS+ and 810 plans I'd be very grateful to hear it
