hi,
im on day 4 of the cambridge diet and im really struggling to stay motivated.
i know this diet isnt ideal and im well aware of the cons to it so i don't need those pointed out considering i am investing money and effort into this in a bid to change my attitude to food all together i felt i was a good idea to completely cut it out of my life.
i am currently in ketosis so burning fat for energy
the 3rd is my first weigh in but it just seems so long away
i know once i weigh, and will have hopefully lost weight, then i know that week two will be easier with that in mind.
so far my sister has been so insensitive eating around me and chewing really loudly and just generally being a pig ! i cannot sleep until about 5am and all i know is that there is a kitchen full of food to help ease the boredom but i know that food is not for boredom it is for sustinance and so i should not eat it. only i have cravings !!!!
i need to keep my goal in mind i want to wear shorts in the summer i have around 50lbs to lose and i have huge exams coming up and so im worried that in this time of stress i will buckle under the weight of my own desires to be healthy and happy.
i dont know what im really saying but it just helps to write about it because i have nobody to talk to.
i know i can do it.
i did it before while i wasnt depriving myself entirely of food thats probably whats playing on my mind but i really need to do this for myself., i will be able to eat again just not for a few months.

You do sound very focused.
I just want to wish you the very best.....
I think I am more like your sister, but not mean. I eat 3 meals and 2 snacks and find that difficult and cheat on that, because I am so hungry.
Anyway, stay healthy......
if i continue to eat a keto diet i can eat healthy and still lose weight.
but so far my goal is to get this initial weight off before i even consider risking eating as i know myself and i know my problem is that i cannot stop sometimes. cutting out the sugary fatty empty energy food i am learning to live without them i don't need them they offer nothing nutrituous, they just fill a hole.
a hole ive been trying to fill for a while now emotionally.
i need to deal with my emotions with my thoughts and not with my stomach.
i cant wait to eat a nice juicy healthy omlette and feel proud that im giving my body what it needs.
i am retiredrose :) under the care of a consultant as you cannot do this without their guidance. this diet is the only out there approved by doctors as each shake has a 3rd of your daily vitamins so after 3 shakes a day you've had your RDA and i also take an extra multi-vitamin just to be sure.
i went out last night, and as alcohol is not allowed on this diet at all i drank water. I DRANK WATER ALL NIGHT !!!! i didnt even cave to a gin and tonic i am so proud of myself and that feeling is so much better than the guilt of cheating. i wont be cheating anyone but myself something we should all bear in mind =)
thanks for your guys support =) xx
its so hard to learn to control our behaviours but not only does it reveal our eating problems our emotional problems also come to surface and we can start to deal with them in healthy ways.
i hope you manage to keep going no doubt you can do it !!!!
stay happy and healthy x
