I think there are lots of people around who have been ona vcld before be it CD or whatever. I think the more times you have a go, the higher risk of giving in when the going gets a bit tough. I count myself in this by the way! Im less than inspiring to some extent, but then with the 18 months I've had I think I've done well to even still want to lose weight let alone try!
We are all different. I remember some of my inspirations, lily, missy jo, cerulean... None of them were perfect but they were inspiring! My diary was a way of working through my food related issues, but there is so much going on I stopped writing any deep stuff as it all got a bit to close to the knuckle. I may go back to some deep revelations at some point in the future!
I wish I could get inspired. Maybe you will be my new thinspiration!
Felix said:Hi Sal, I was thinking the exact same earlier! An awful lot of food talk going on which isn't helping my cravings (and an awful lot of people who aren't taking CD seriously, but that's just my opinion!). I've fallen off the wagon a million times, and I know 90% of people are genuinely here for support when they have slipped up. But it seems a small number of people are sort of laughing it off and making out its not a big deal, when it actually is a big deal for me! Sorry if that doesn't make any sense. It's not really my place to comment on other peoples diets so I feel a bit bad for saying this!!
We need more positive posts on the forum about how well people are doing, and tips for sticking to the diet, not tips on how to cheat!

I think there are much easier diets AND much harder in differing respects. Slimming world would be my hardest diet, it's the sheer volume of food you eat. I'm by nature a nibbler, and I nibble lots of crap things!
It's a funny thing. Maybe in diary land ( I only follow diaries I don't really bother with the main forum) I'm bit seeing so many people slipping up, myself excluded.
I think you hit the nail on the head as many people are not getting support you need to do this diet. I dont get anything from my pack pusher, she is a pack pusher and has got awards at the annual conference for the volume of packs she sells! It's pyramid selling after all. Some people do take it seriously, but behaviour is sometimes so ingrained with people I think unless you are doing something to tackle your food demons. Cd is just a quick fix. Hmmm you have me thinking about this now!
