Katiebaby- back to Slim and save for the last leg of my journey

[Alfielulu]

We are SO good at guilt aren't we? I am SO glad I logged in again as I have been beating myself up all day and its just so STUPID. I dont even START the diet until 10th Jan and I am only supposed to be reducing my carbs and increasing my water until then. Yet I felt so bad that I had bread at lunch. I had less than i normally do and replaced some of the cheese with Banana but still kept thinking you guys would be so mad at me as you were all trying to hard to be on CD already and I should think myself lucky as I dont start for a week. How mad is that? Is there something in the rule book of diets that says RULE NUMBER 1 - you must embrace guilt for the rest of your life??

How stupid do I sound but thanks for making me feel not alone as when I read this I felt I wasn't.

P.S. can you confirm you're not mad at me? Stupid as it may seem and I know its mental but there you go. Insecureme.com

Oh honey!! We would never be mad at you! Ever! We are here to support you! Through the good and the bad! Forever and always. We're here to keep you on track! I felt guilty yesterday after my slip up but the 2012 team held me up and gave me the positive kick i needed to stay on track today. Don't feel bad at all! Whether we make mistakes or not no one is here to judge.
Now chin up and get drinking that water THE END! :-D xx

 

[katiebaby]

Why on earth would we be mad at you... we are here for you as a support and motivation as you are for us dont beat yourself up, as i said on your diary you already said that you had less bread than you normally would this is an achievement in itself.. Im not sure we will ever stop beating ourselves up (i hope we do!!) ....

I have just had my Last Shake... choc orange.. cold as im working.. I dont feel hungry now I feel in a world of my own.. is this normal lol.... I know its new years eve but i feel i need to sleep right now.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!! REMEMBER 2012 is our year!!!!

Ok I want to Cry right now!! I am sitting in the kebab shop its a bit quiet due to it being nye.... my brother in law has just made a BIG pile of Lahmacun.. Turkish Flat bread type pizza.. and I LOVE THEM!!! I just looked at them and wanted to ball my eyes out.. dont know where i came from.. so I sat down quietly before someone offers me one and really makes me cry. First place I came was here.. I never thought i would be so emotional. I am just thinking now I NEED TO DO THIS!!!!!!!!

One Question... the 2.25l water.. is it minimum or maximum? will drinking too much scupper my diet?

x

 

[jojoCD1989]

Im at a new years party omg food alcohol galore!! :-(
And the water i think its in your CD booklet.

 

[katiebaby]

I dont have a CD booklet... I wasnt given one

Hello. This is day 2 for me.. Yesterday went ok I just made sure I drank lots hope you are well, how long have you been doing CD? Thanks for the welcome

Hey katie - I hope day 2 went well.

How are you coping around all the food?

I noticed you read my post to spangles about my PCOS, I have been there, and believe me, the first time around, I lost 4 stone and fell pregnant straight away, with no clomid, no metformin, not laparoscopy - just high protein diet! I was previously told that I had about a 20% chance of natural conception.

I hope that this happens for you!

U are supposed to get one do maybe ask her when you next see her. I believe 2 is the min and 3-4 ltr is the max dependant on you. The main thing is not to drink too much in one go. It messes up the salt in your body if you do.

I know what u mean about crying at food as I gazed lovingly at the Indian takeaway as we went past

Thanks for all the support - moment of weakness and this forum, no you guys, really helped ;£

I have Emailed her to ask... (removed my rant, completly negative and not helpful to me or anyone lool) X

 

[Alfielulu]

Sounds to me like u need to change. I've only spoken to mine on the phone and she said my first app would be at least an hour as there would be lots to go through. I've read quite a few ' what to expect from ur CDC' on here and it's way more than what you've described. I think a good CDC and someone you get on with is very important

I have just read an email I got from the one who does home visits... sent her one back to make sure I can get a visit from her.. as my own CDC has said she can meet me halfway and weigh me in a carpark and to me that doesnt suit me at all if im honest... wheres the support? Im paying alot of money for this (

Sorry for moaning..... but reading your comments about your CDC's i feel a bit cheated lol xxx

Day 2 hasnt gone too bad... realised from looking at the site I am drinking too much coffee i think so will change that tomorrow and even switch to decaff.. also now realise I shouldnt have the drink flavouring until next week.. will stop that too lol sitting here panicing but they are small things so I shouldnt panic.

I have tried Clomid 5 cycles with metformin and it didnt work.. I have a new specialist now who said the other doctor should never have given me clomid as I am so overweight it would never have worked. (it have no affect on me other than to make me become a complete loon, scared me if im honest)

So now the options are lost 5 stone... so i can have the injections the new doctor offered, but she did say if i lose enough its entirely possible i could concieve naturally.

Thank you for your support, reading about people going through it really eggs me on. xxx

Assalamu Alaikum Katie! My husband is Turkish..... is yours? - I think have found a sister!

Im not devoutly observant as my picture will tell, but I feel we may have a lot in common and NOT just the turkish obsession with food or a love for lahmacun.

It is so hard in my house, as my husband is a wonderful cook, but he's not that keen on doing it every day, so while he sometimes cooks for us and I can avoid it (or rebuff his attempts at stuffing me) - I do most of it, so I am constantly around amazing food.

Thankfully I am at home this evening, so going to go to bed early to avoid indulging any more (I know I am a NYE party pooper) I have already had salmon and two rather large bites of cheese cake, which I then forced on my husband, which are NOT on the 810 list. But what the heck, I just had a day off, which is ok. Tomorrow I am back on it!

To answer your question by the way, the first time I did CD I was SS all the way and lost 4 stone in about 14 or 15 weeks, I then fell pregnant with Alara and since then I have been trying to lose weight using a lot of failed methods including CD -this time I have been re-starting for over a year, but I actually made it work for me 6 months ago and have lost a healthy 44lb, I still have at least 14lbs left (my oh my is that all?) my aim is to sort out my issues, it's not really just about losing the weight this time, it's about getting my mind and body in sync.

Stay strong and some day you will be sitting where I am...Insallah!

Wa alaikum Salaam yes my husband is Turkish. Where is yours from? Mine is from a village near Aksaray (Cappadocia)

Im not devoutly observant as my picture will tell, but I feel we may have a lot in common and NOT just the turkish obsession with food or a love for lahmacun.

It seems we do have alot in common.. its fab to meet you ) I do alot of the cooking in this house.. and my inlaws are here from turkey for a few months so every morning i am putting together a big breakfast.. .that doesnt bother me as I havent eaten bread and things in years.. but its the savoury evening meals that I have to avoid... normally they eat at the kebab shop so thats easier on me.

But what the heck, I just had a day off, which is ok. Tomorrow I am back on it!

I was at work (only help out on fri and sat nights answering the phone) but as its a bit quiet i am now in bed looking around the boards. So I am also a party pooper... then again cant really see me at a NYE party hehe!

Well done on your success... its amazing. This is the first time of trying CD and to be honest I always said I would never try this type of diet.. then again i said that about Atkins and lost 6 stone doing that lol... I have since moved town and put 2.5 stone back and it is just going up and up so I decided enough is enough!!!

Stay strong and some day you will be sitting where I am...Insallah!

InshaAllah I truly Hope so....

Do you have FB? Drop me a PM and Ill let you have my link xxx

OMG I feel like a right COW!! I just messaged the other CDC that emailed me to say she does home visits.. the one i signed up with doesnt... she said it may be hard to take me on now i have already signed up with another... She asked me who i had signed up with but i couldnt say I dont want to get anyone into trouble!

 

[bettiesrevenge]

I have had 3 in my time!

I think it only matters if they want to recruit you to their team - CWP is like pyramid selling after all. My original one went bandit after I fell pregnant (she and I grew really close, I was entered into the slimmer of the year palava and everything) so I went to the one I am with now, but then she wasnt particularly supportive so I found another one, but then moved so went back - and get my support round here!

I love Aksaray! My husband proposed in capadoccia in the dead of winter while we were bussing it across the country, we had just been to Konya, which was AMAZING and then to a little cave hotel. Ace.

I will PM you later - baby is awake now!

 

[katiebaby]

This one basically said to go to my CDC and ask about home visits... or something alternative to a blooming car park as thats not right! which I agree it isnt... she also said dont be scared to talk to your CDC... I normally have gut feelings and they turn out the be correct.. but hey I hope this one is diet related hunger derived paranoia lol

I have emails mine asking what support I can expect from her as my CDC... as its very important to me, in case I wobble!

Oh how romantic I met and married in the UK. I have been to Konya and Cappadocia and fell in love with it immediately. x

My first meeting lasted 15mins if that... weighed.. given packets... and gave money!! Im hoping its because it was inbetween xmas and new year! I will give her the benefit of the doubt!!!

We Married here too, how long have you been married? We are coming up to 2 years for our offical wedding, but we also had a Nikah in his mum's house in Adana which was 4 years ago. It's a bit odd, since we now have 2 aniversaries, which we always confuse each other with!

In relation to the CWPC's - they both sound a bit odd dont they? Honestly I dont get any support from mine, but then I dont expect it any more. The first one I had was the best, in all honesty. I personally dont think it's acceptable to be weighed in a car park! Luckily my "supplier" as I will call her, lives a 5 minute walk from my house, so it's a stumble for me, but I know the first one was a 30 minute drive!

I dont think you are asking too much for a service that you pay for, just put it to her what you need and see if she can accomodate you!
