Am intrigued.
Have been doing this crazy diet for 6 weeks and 1 day and, having read and been so inspired by Mike's (Icemoose) blog, had not had anything pass my lips which shouldnt have. Strictly CD product plus the AAMW allowance.
There have been temptations of course. There have been times when I have had to pass on a social life. Like everyone, life has thrown obstacles in my path (pressures of work, death of a friend 39 from cancer, onslaught of either dementia / alziemers of 73 year old father-in-law staying with us for an extended stay, plus an illness a week or so ago which saw him in hospital, every day to day cooking for rest of family etc...) and I choose to skirt round them, deal with them and not resort to food.
This diet is most certainly not the easiest choice we all make before embarking on the journey. In fact I think its a tough call. Not only the strict diet alone, but also the stigma attached to it and the wonderful wisdom of the ignorant wanting to tell you it wont work, will rot your stomach etc etc. It takes some guts to decide to do this and, for me, at a point of little more than sheer desperation to loose the weight.
If thats a similar choice to others -- why would you cheat the tried and tested?
The results on the Cambridge are pretty amazing, and quick. With such an incentive why oh why stray?
I know we are only human - but we have choices. A person happy in themselves would not be frequenting these boards, would not have embarked on the CD in the first place.
We are here because we are (were) FAT!
We hated the way we looked.
We hated the way it restricted our lives.
We hated the comments from other people.
We hated being FAT.
We got FAT because we chose to EAT the wrong foods, at wrong times in wrong proportions.
Why on earth go back to that? Not even at goal - on the way to goal?
I admit I get so frustrated at some of the '..i've cheated..' posts, and the nice people reply saying draw a line, drink the water etc etc.
I just want to yell - ARRRRGGGGH!!! WHY DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE??! Quite apart from the fact - what a waste of money and you're well on the way to proving all the ignorants right !
We ALL have a choice. My choice, same as many others is to not deviate from the CD. Its a tried and tested formula.
Funnily enough it does exactly what it says on the pack. Stick to it and it works.
If you want to give into tempation do this one this before doing so.
Go and get changed into your bikini / tanktini / swimming costume / swim shorts.
Now stand in front of the mirror with the '..food..' you simply have to have - that food you want to cheat with, and take a good hard look at yourself as you EAT IT.
