Sara's weight loss diary

[poppygreendog]

Hi Everyone

I am soooo happy, I started CD today!! :bliss:

I went to my CDC on Saturday morning but had long term activities planned for the weekend which included alcohol and eating and so planned to start today.:sign0137:

I have had a strawberry for brekkie, a a choccie tetra brick (yummy) for lunch and am on my 3 litre of water so far.

Why am I doing this?

I am 39 now, 40 in January and refuse to be fat when I'm 40. I have been trying to diet using every method known to man and some not forever, I cannot do something like weight watchers or slimming world because I have finally accepted that I am greedy!:ashamed0005: I love, love love food. I need to do something like CD because I have issues with food that I need to address before I get too much older because if I don't I'll continue to be obese (which is what my category is now :cry, unhealthy, and most of all unhappy.

I tried LL last year, through pretty bad planning on my part my eldest daughter's wedding was on week 7. I had lost a pound under 2 stone by week 7 and was feeling pretty pleased with myself but bowed to pressure from family members to eat. I think I just decided from that point that it was'nt worth it, LL is much more expensive than CD which is a big factor and I just gave up.

How will I make sure it works for me this time?

Well I'm counting on your guys for one, I've been lurking here for a while and have been impressed by the amount of support that is given to members, I think with your help this time I can make it!

My husband has decided that he needs to lose a bit of weight and so will be giving me lots of support whilst he is losing some himself.

I REALLY WANT THIS and so am prepared to address my issues with food. Even at this stage I know that bread for instance is a real problem for me. I think when I'm coming to the end of my CD journey I may have to accept that bread is something that should be a treat to me because my control over portions where bread is concerned is ridiculous, so I'm looking forward to examining that sort of stuff.

Am I going to succeed?

Damn right I am!

Todays emotions:

How do I feel? - damn good
How is the water intake? - on track for 4 litres

I hope you enjoy reading my journey in the future, feel free to add comments and advise, I will be grateful for it all.

Good luck Sara, I'm sure if you keep your optimism, determination and focus you will lose everything you want to and be so much happier for it too.

Day 2

Morning All

I really enjoyed my first day on CD yesterday, took a choc tetra brick to work had a strawberry for brekkie and made a muffin out of a choc pack last night.

Got home last night a bit late from work as I had a late meeting and had a bit of a headache but by that time I had drunk 4 litres and did not want to be up and down any more in the night:wave_cry:

Just so hoping I can hold it together this time. I'm trying to think positively and I have to say that the taste of the packs I have had so far is far far superior to the LL flavours, just my opinion of course, horses for courses, I think its just what works for each individual.

Drank 1 litre of water on the train on the way to work, finding myself planning loo stops which will take some getting used to and I've found I like the taste of black tea so life's not that bad.

Today's emotions:

How to I feel? - Relaxed and determined
Hows the water intake? 1 litre down 3 to go.
