Tomorrow is day 21 on CD and due to do add a meal next week for the first time - I'm worried that starting 'eating' will reduce my urge to go back to SS. I know that sometimes a chemical 'hit' with one type of food gets you yearning for something else. I nearly killed when someone next to me at work had a tuna roll. Asked him to tell me next time so I can have my lunch bar at the same time! And it worked. As did having them at the same time as the birthday cream cakes were coming round. Lost 18lb in three weeks which does it for me. Good luck and well done everyone - we ARE getting there.
September (re) starting CD club!!

Its quite a posh gym too...an Esporta one so I might have to get rid of my holey Asda trackies for some swanky ones lol!That's excellent! They can be so pricey these days
Good morning all
Morning girlies
Here's to another successful CD-ing week - hope you all survived the weekend and stayed on plan The weekends certainly are the toughest but I try to keep on plodding and seem to be managing to stick with it - the wonderful support on here helps BIG TIME !!
I'm on AAM this week - it's really strange eating food and I'm really struggling to still get my 4packs (I'm tall) down as well...I'm really stuffed come evening time - how bizarre is that - 3oz of chicken and a spoonful of veg along with 4 shakes and I'm stuffed
Anyway looking forward to a good loss this week - only 1lb off on Saturday past (TOTM) and was a bit disappointed but I have to keep my eye on the ball so to speak and not let myself forget what my goal is !!
Have a fab day everyone - catch you all later...
hugs

Hi all
Welcome to all you new/restarters, as has already been said this is a great site where you'll find loads of support and advice.
Been on a bit of a downer today (argument with OH!) and could really have stuffed my face with anything but instead I have thought about why I want to do that and how I am feeling and it had really helped. In the past I would automatically reach for food whenever something got tough, suddenly having that comforter removed means I am having to look a bit deeper and deal with the issue rather than smothering it with food. Hmmm I have some thinking to do so I'm off to get a nice cup of coffee and figure out whats really going on xx

Hi All!
The weekends are sooooooo tough! But its Monday, and a new week ahead.
Bluemoon I can absolutely relate to what you are saying, its amazing when you get through it though. You should be very proud of yourself for having the will power to avoid the emotional binge.
Also hi & goodluck to all new starts.

Hi Guys, bit disappointed at the moment. Thought I'd lost two lbs this week but yesterday my weight bounced up again. Went to my CD WI and lost nothing! Came home and my scales agreed with my CDC's. Was really down but stayed with it.
This morning though, erm discovered why - won't go into details but there was a visit to the bathroom involved. Suddenly realised I should have had some fibre a few days ago! Hope no one is having their shake and reading this!
So hopefully back on track.

Hi,
I'm on day 3 of my CD, and reg with this site yesterday, it seemed to be ok until now, as i'm feeling very hungry right now, but i won't let it beat me this time.
I've a head ache to die for at the mo, but i was told expect it.
I'm still on my honeymoon, as i got married on Saturday and go back to work on friday, which i think will help as my mind will be on other things than the fridge calling me.
Anyway this is only my 2nd time in a chat room thingy, and would like to join your cd club so i can get help and talk to people who know why we're doing this.

Hi all and welcome to the site Nicolo
Hope everyones having a great day. After yesterday I feel soooo much better! Did a lot of thinking yesterday about why I comfort eat and hopefully coping with it so well yesterday will make me stronger for the next time I'm faced with an emotional crisis. In the end I decided to have an extra pack and made myself a lovely hot muffin and didn't do my usual binge followed by self hate! It was quite enlightening to feel so in control!!

Day 4 and still here
hey guys and girls sorry not been online for the past week, but got food poisoning after that trip I had so was ill for the whole time, so came off CD so restarting again tomorrow so can't wait to get back on track. off for 10days so should have a good week. good luck for tomorrow everyone.
Great News!!! I'm in the 10's!!!! 10st 13.5lbs.
I haven't been 10st anything since 1989!!
The worst bit was I haven't lost for a while and my weight just seemed to be out of control again. Well it felt like that to someone losing all sense of proportion.
Last night I knew I was home alone today and found I was planning a secret binge. This time I was prepared and spent time actively thinking about what was really ging on and how I was responding to old pressures and that this was my body trying to hang onto the weight. Decided that no matter what I'd just carry on.
Can never get the ticker to appear, but have just updated it.

Hi Island girl - nice to have you back, hope you're recovering from the Food P, who knows some of that weight loss may be permanent. My bro has something he got in Morocco years ago and although it can be painful he never puts on weight. When I said I wished I could get something useful like that and had he considered marketing it, he thought I'd gone mad!
Anna, wow on your weight loss esp while moving house which is often enough to drive anyone to distraction!
I do love this thread, I check it a couiple of times a day as part of my positive reinforcement plan. Mad but it works.
