I'm afraid I'm gonna sound like a bit of a nag here - but I think I can because you know what I think of you and so want you to get to where you want to be.
I truly think that biting the bullet (and NOTHING else!) of SS'ing will work for you again. There's absolutely no reason why it shouldn't as you've done it before - and I'm definitely not in the "The first time is the only time" camp as you know. Just having 4 stone left to lose is a heck of lot less than you had to begin with .. but it IS still 4 stone, and that's a fair amount to lose if you piddle about trying different plans and seeing if you can somehow find a way around sole sourcing which suits you.
Sure there are other CD plans (my personal fave is 790 as you still have your packs plus a protein/veg meal which keeps you in ketosis), but I think you do need that kick up the backside and fast weightloss which only SS will give you.
Of course it's tough, we all know that, but it DOES work. I know it's your birthday on Friday (the day before mine
) but if you keep making excuses of events coming up there's just no end to it. There's always something coming up which can put your start date back another day/week/month ...
Why not start tomorrow and at least do it for 3 days without cheating until your birthday .. have a day off .. and then get back into it immediately the day after - and promise yourself you'll do that until your anniversary when you can look forward to another wee celebration .. and then back again straight away afterwards.
I think it's the thought sometimes of "will it ever end?" that puts a lot of people off even starting - but it DOES end .. when you reach your goal weight. And by doing it via sole sourcing you'll get there so much quicker than any other way. It really is only a short-term sacrifice for much longer-term benefits .. at least that's the way I always looked at it
Lots of love - and masses of luck!
