Food is actually my prison, not dieting. I lost stone and a half between may and july on CD and got to goal (looked and felt fab!) Then just stopped. Put back on 8lbs so followed juddd on hols and lost 9lbs. Came back and could not control my food intake, i was mrs starve/binge. Buying loads of s**t food and sneaking off to my car or my room to stuff my face, and not telling anyone, now that is imprisonment-secret bingeing!
I really want to come back to CD to rediscover the self control that the diet gave me, that in itself is a freedom to me. Freedom to look at food and not stuff it all in so that i feel/am sick! The mental freedom of not beating myself up about what goes in my mouth is another positive of CD that i remember.
I am heavily in to sports/fitness and do martial arts and running 5/6 times a week so going back to 'normal' step2 (which is what i did the whole time previously) is not really an option for me as i don't want to stop training and lose fitness (amazing i can be overweight but still fit?!) but i need energy to train.
My plan therefore is this: have two step2 meals a day, one at brekkie and one at dinner time with my 3 shakes whenever i want them. We'll see how that goes. If anyone has any thoughts or similar experiences I'd love to know But making this decision has made me relax for the first time this week as i KNOW this works!
