Intro:
Hello guys, I thought I’d keep a diary about my Cambridge Diet journey. I kept one while I was on Lighter Life and I think people quite enjoyed reading it. It also helped me, and I also found it quite inspiring to look back on. Unfortunately once I’d lost the weight, I didn’t do Route to Management, thought I was “cured” and promptly took only ten months to regain all the weight I lost plus 2lbs for good measure – BAH!
Had my “last supper” last night at a gastro pub. Garlic mushrooms for starter, then choriszo and red pepper sausages with red onion mash. It was so filling I couldn’t manage it all and didn’t have room for a pudding. As a result I find myself 0.4lbs lighter on the scales today than I did yesterday – start weight 13st 10.6lbs.
As a result of having a rare lie-in, It’s been 14 hours since I last ate. I’m just sitting down to my first chocolate shake, and first 500mls of water.
I’m feeling really excited because I know that in as little as 28 days I’ll be fitting back into clothes that I haven’t been able to wear in a while. I’m struggling for clothes at the moment, I only have three pairs of trousers that fit me, 2 pairs of jeans, and only 3-4 tops and I don’t have any going-out clothes that I could wear. I know for some people this might be enough, but I’m used to having to cram stuff into a wardrobe because I have so many clothes. I can honestly say that I don’t like wearing most of the clothes that fit me. I went charity shop shopping for clothes the other day and you can really see the difference size 12 and below are all lovely trendy pretty clothes. Size 14 is a mixture of LTP clothes and Old Lady stuff and size 16 and above is nearly all OL stuff. I love charity shops and can’t wait to be in a size 12 again.
I wanted a new pair of jeans for last night and couldn’t fit into a size 16 in New Look or Next (which are generally quite generous sizes for me). I refused to buy a size 18. I can’t wait to look good in a pair of size 12 jeans again!
