New to Cambridge Weight Plan

[Annasupastar]

Hi guys!

I'm on the step 2 plan. I've just had maple & pecan porridge this morning...I really liked it! Was dreading it too. Regarding the water my motto is ' The more you drink the more you shrink' haha!
I have two daughters aged 4 & 2. 21 months apart. I've been lugging this weight around since my 2nd pregnancy. My 1st I lost a lot of weight after but my 2nd I've kept it all on.
Oh well! That's why I'm here. I've got to do something, I'm so flipping miserable. The clothes I want to wear I look daft in! I just want to be happy & fit again (I've joined a gym but find it hard going on my own!) I know I'm not massive, I've had people be down right rude to me because I look ok ish in clothes. 'What do you want to lose weight for' 'why do you need to join a gym' so upsetting. I really think it's how you feel about yourself. I just want to be active around my kids, I wan to be a fun mummy not a tired & boring one!
Sorry for rambling on, it's just hard isn't it??

Hi Anna I feel as if you are telling the story of my life. Sounds same to same. I started the CD when I couldn't run around my daughter in the park and was indeed being a boring mom. Hope we will all get there.

Annasupastar....lol @ I've just had a baby!! Today was tough but better than the day before. Cheated in the evening with a small apple, 2 small pieces of chicken and 4 bits of shredded beef. Crazy, I know! I am so done with the fat, I need to get my life back and give my daughter a healthy and active mum!

You sound like me!, once I put something in that's in I'm gorging!!!. I started again today and I've been 100% and been for a run so all good so far, how did your day go?. We have to remember the goals we set when starting, everyone keeps saying how great I look, which is lovely, but I'm not where I want to be yet, I'm not at goal!!!, I must imagine myself on Marbella beach!!!
