I started the Cambridge Diet yesterday, I feel like I need to do something about my weight, as I feel like I'm losing the person I was! I have always been a very happy and upbeat person who saw positive in every situation and it seems the more weight I have been putting on the more negative I have been getting :-( I used to be quite slim as I was really into my sports and living in Holland meant cycling everyday! When I moved to the UK I gave up the sport and cycling as it seemed it was hard to get into here :-( I still managed to lose weight at first though, I was about a size 10/12 when I moved here at 17 and from when I was about 18 - 21 I was 8.5st and about a size 8 ( :-o !!!!!) Ever since I started my full time job as a Trolly Dolly the weight seemed to have started to pile on top of me leading me to be 17st3lbs and a size 18/20 at 25. Last time I lost weight, I couldn't do anything about it as I was in an abusive relationship which kept bringing me down and the stress of it all caused me to lose the weight. However times have moved on and I am now in a very happy relationship and trying for babies, but nothing seemes to be happening so with me being so unhappy about my weight and being overweight I thought it was time to do something about it so we got a better chance of catching, so here we are! :-D
So my first day was yesterday, went a lot better than I expected it to go.
I struggled before breakfast, as I woke up early, I didn't really want to have breakfast too early as I wanted to space my meals out evenly over the day for the least chance of starvation lol! So when I finally allowed myself to have breakfast I was surprised with how full I felt after. I had the apple and cinamon porridge for breakfast which was yummy! I then had loads of water to keep my hunger under control. Everything I seemed to watch and do and whoever I spoke to, all my thoughts, it all seemed to be about food.. grrr! :-(
I eventually made it to lunch though, did crave a piece of toast, but managed to resist! :-D wooohoo! I was sooo proud as I have never been able to resist bread before :-o Had a "hot chocolate" for lunch (the chocolate shake warmed up) which was also delish! :-D so far so good! I then managed to keep myself busy and didn't even think about food once! Even though I was speaking to my friend about baking etc (as that is both our hobbies... well was :-( ) and I still managed to feel fine woop woop :-D
For dinner I had Leek and Potato soup... did not like this at all, but pinched my nose and drank it all anyway (as I was pretty hungry) that was enough to put me off food for a while so it managed to keep me full for the rest of the evening :-D
I managed to drink 3 litres of water (I am awful at drinking water normally, it'd be a lot if I had drunk 3 pints a day) and also 3 cup of black teas :-D
Sooo surprised with how well it's been going. But then I need to keep going as we're going on holidays with the inlaws this year and theyre all skinny, so its a pretty good incentive, everytime I'm tempted I just have to think about myself in a bathing suit now, and what I could look like in a bathing suit lol!! I don't really fancy scaring all the inlaws so this is the only option ;-p
Day 2
I had a strawberry shake for breakfast, which was quite nice, if not a bit powdery.. but I'll definatly be able to live of it :-D not even that hungry this morning... woop woop. However, my craving for toast is still there!! :-( Why do I have to be such a carbaholic?? :-(
For lunch it was a maple and pecan porridge which was also nice :-D I really like the porridges as they feel more like im actually eating something and doesn't make me feel like I'm missing out on anything. For dinner I have vegetable soup lined up can't wait to try it :-D
Today I have already managed to drink 3 litres of water and a cup of tea. Haven't struggled as much today either I am definatly getting into the right mind set :-D
I am just going to try and keep my mind of the whole food situation and ignore my boyfriend eating food, maybe hide upstairs when he's cooking and eating lol! I will be skinny again one day, just got to keep positive :-D
