I've been lurking about for a week or two now, but before that I was off in my own little universe on what was probably one of the worst sugar binges in the history of the planet. Don't really know what happened but more or less I spent several weeks of 'bake a cake, eat a cake' (daily, I mean). February was a very bad month for me work-wise so it may have been the stress of the money situation that set me off. I've not been on the scales since last weighin somewhere around the first week of February but judging by what I see in the mirror, I'd say I'm more than likely at my pre-CD weight, if it's even possible to gain 45lbs in just a month. But, as they say, there's no sense crying over spilt milk and beating myself up over this would just be flogging a dead horse.
So, I'm thinking of what to do now. Not sure if I can do true Dukan, I suppose I could try and see what happens. I've got some sort of muscle spasm or whatever around my shoulder blade and am now on muscle relaxants, so I've got that going for me
Hope you are all well and clipping right along, will (try to) catch up on diaries over next few days!

Good to see you posting again, missus.
We're all behind you (ha, that sounds a bit pantomime, but you catch my drift)

I'm so glad to hear from you, Renata. Sorry to hear the last month has been so dire. I'm quite convinced Dukan is the answer to your eating dilemmas but if you're not in the right place to commit to it whole-heatedly then don't even try for the time being. It's a long-term project so you have to be in it for the long term to benefit - it doesn't deliver short-term results.
Please stay in touch, whatever you decide on the diet front. You have friends here who will support you through thick and thin xx

I'm pleased to say the eating frenzy has subsided and I'm pulling myself out of the muck. Am not actually dukaning but I did make some dukan muffins to satisfy the cake monster and some sf jelly for later. Foodwise I've been ok today, and whilst not dukan friendly per se I haven't gorged so at the moment I feel that's a win! I've ordered Martha Beck's book called 4-day win or something to that effect, haven't received it yet but it's supposedly highly recommended for those who need to change their relationship with food - which is what I need more than a diet. In any case, I'm giving some thought to doing just dukan conso with increased exercise - i.e. mostly protein with veg every day plus one serving of fruit. May opt out of the cheese and bread bit though, at least at first. Still not committing to anything though, just trying to get the calorie intake under control for now

Just received my book, along with a bookmark depicting the kinds of fish you should not eat as they are not considered sustainable at this time. The list pretty much includes all the salt-water fish available at your fishmonger's
Great to see you posting Hun, we have been a bit concerned.
One day at a time & don't beat yourself up if you go off track. I was in a similar place a few weeks back, didn't know if I could do Dukan anymore. I got back on the Dukan bus just doing PV days until I could face PP days & although I'm not strictly doing 1:1 I've not had anything not Dukan for the last 2 weeks & feel back in control.
If you think conso is do able give it a try & then maybe you could do a few PP days when you feel more in control.
Whatever you decide keep posting xxx

I don't think it's as black and white as that. Some fisheries are much better managed than others. So cod numbers might be depleted overall in the world but the stock in parts of Europe might be healthy, for instance. Good luck with Martha Beck and let us know what you glean from her, will you? xxx
so please your back renata and conso sounds like a sensible plan till your stable. xxx good luck

You know (or maybe you don't ) how they say when you're self-employed it's either feast or famine, so it appears the universe is trying to make up for the frightening famine in February (excuse the alliteration ) and I've not budged from the computer in 2 weeks for all the work I've got. Haven't had time to check in on any of you or even to read more than a few pages of Beck - but you know I'm going to love any book having a chapter entitled 'how to stop eating when you can't stop eating'. Needless to say I've not really implemented any sort of diet plan, but I have stopped gorging. I'm hoping this week I can get cooking and stock the fridge with ready-to-eat dukan-friendlies and get on track, and to h-e double hockey sticks with the easter holiday - if I'm back on track by then I WILL be refusing the fried and fatty foods offered by bf's mother. Let her be offended, I say. Or is that wicked of me?
