Hi guys, just been reading through the thread and thought I'd say hi! I've restarted today. I did CD for about 8 weeks leading up to xmas, lost 2.5 stone and then had a break for Xmas and new year and never went back. I've now regained about 10-12lbs (so not too bad I guess) but wanting to lose a few lbs before holidays/hen do's/ weddings etc! Planning on being 100% for the next 4 weeks then having a break whilst on hols etc then cracking back on for the long haul after that.
Had 2 shakes so far today, and I am soooo hungry right now!
how are you all getting on? How do you cope with the hunger? xx

Hi
Yay for getting back to it. The hunger was huge for me at first too - especially knowing how easy it was to stray (not such a big deal when I went on it the first time as I was super-focussed). I tried to focus on the hunger being a good thing (if that doesn't sound too weird). Listening to it and really trying to welcome it - rather than immediately doing something to banish it. I'd then drink lots - and lots - of water ... and go to bed early / do something to distract myself. Getting this balance between allowing my body to feel stuff and then doing stuff to help me through it seems to be helping. The headaches were a real pain this time round, tho.
I stepped on the scales a bit early (as I'm away working again I'm not seeing my consultant this week) and it's really helped. Lost lots compared to where I was at last week - which helps me deal with the hunger even more. I know it's mostly water loss, but to see the scales go in the right direction after struggling has really renewed my energy. As has seeing my husband's family (who haven't seen me since xmas) and shocking them all with my 3 stone lighter self. It's worth it, I just need to keep on track to shift the next 3 stones.
Hope all's going OK for everyone else ... hang in there, we can do it

Hope everyone is doing okay! I am on Day 2 of SS and understand the hunger pains!
But just remember:
- Positive thought in the morning makes such a difference
- Try and go for an early morning walk now its lighter in the morning for some fresh air and start the day positive
- Unless you have an actual binging disorder everything comes down to WILLPOWER and the strength in our head!
- Set yourself mini-goals for the day
- Keep busy / mind active and away from food
- Make the right choices that you'll be happy with 2 hours after making it
Good Luck and remember its not about restricting yourself completely but being in CONTROL.

Good luck. I'm really trying my hardest but some days I just cave in. Now the weather has improved and the sun is shining it's making me more determined.
Day two has been OK so far. Just tried the spag bol. Not great! Lol! But was filling and warm so that's a bonus eh?
Berry, I think for me the main thing that stops me not eating is the thought of going back to day one again and having to go through the hunger etc. That's what stopped me eating last time. But I 100% know how hard it is!

Hoping for a big loss like the first week on Fridays weigh in as I'm back 100% on plan?most fingers crossed. I've got holiday in July and then I'm getting married in November so really need encouragement to stay on track!!

Yeah I'm also back on track 4th day without cheating lol. Every time I think I want to cheat I just think how I felt when I did and about how fab I'll feel when I've lost all the weight. I have about 5 stone+ I want to lose. I've lost a total of 2stone from my heaviest recorded weight a few years ago. I had about 8 stone to lose then. How much do you want to lose?
I'm worried I'll lose too much and my dress won't be able to get taken in as much. I brought my wedding dress the size I am now. But I don't want that to stop me from staying on track.

I'm on day 6 and have been 100% so far.
Been weighing everyday this week and I'm 7lbs down so far!!!
Im finishing up a week from today and starting my calorie counting to lose the last few lbs.
I want to lose 6lbs by next Thursday if I can. Then that leaves 6lbs to lose through calorie counting and exercise. x
