I hope people realise just how important these boards are. I am on day 5 of the CD. In brief and in desperation I bought 8 weeks supply from Ebay. I then found these boards (and now know that was not the thing to do.. but it was done) so reading about SS, and AAMW and other stuff I was clueless on, I did as I was advised and rang a CDC.
Well to give her her dues -- she was at the most honest. It was patently clear she does not (and maybe had not in many a few years...) partake in CD. This was confirmed when I asked if she was 'on' in. ".. oh no dear, I dont need these rubbish - I just sell it.." and was then enlightened into her very healthy income from selling it. What I novel idea - the CD being sold by someone who, in the politess way, should be practicng what she is preaching. (imagine walking into Weight Watchers and someone like Jo Brand/ Vanessa Feltz is taking the class and preachimg on weight loss....)
So bit of a downer number 1, no real visual incentive. Downer No.2 when I was advised I might get constipated, I in turn advised her far from constipation I had in fact got the 'runs' (bright yellow too). Was told that was probably my ventolin inhaler causing that (I read on here it was likely to be the concentrate if the vitamins and mineals...), On my own accord I have been supping extra water so as not to dehydrate. I was then given the hard sell on the fibre powder which '.. is designed to make you go..' (hello just told you I have the opposite problem!) followed by ".. but it also binds you too..'
Seems I dont have the best CDC and at the extra £5+ is it worth staying or do I buy from Ebay (bearing in mind I purchased another 2 weeks supply)
Anyway. I just really want people to know - people (like me) lurke and read the posts and they do help immensly. I have had company this weekend. Day 2 of SS I had to do the weekly shop plus extra for the company I was having, Day 3 SS I cooked a roasted vegetable lasagne for everyone, Day 4 SS Cooked a cauliflower cheese (I am the CC queen!) Hubby did the rest of the dinner, and he had also done their cooked breakfast and dinner that day too. Day 5 SS (today) I cooked everyone scrambled eggs, mushrooms served with smoked salmon and a bagel. My 3 year old back from a weekend away and there are 10+ easter eggs/choc kind of fayre sat here.
Mini slap on the back to me - I know its only day 5 but by god to have got through these 5 days with all this tempatation has amazed me and quite frankly those around me. Not ONCE have I been tempted to sneak ANYTHING into my mouth which isnt a shake or isnt water. Whilst I am not hungry, food is on my mind all the time and (cant believe I am about to type this but...) roll on Tuesday and back to work a distraction form everything!
So thank you to ALL those who post, your stories and pictures are a true inspiration.
