So it's been awhile since my last post, and as with all yoyo dieters, I have not been able to stick to the plan and lose any weight. To be honest, I'm not surprised. I'm 'good' for a few days and then I sabotage my own progress. In fact, I've done it again!
I started the Cambridge Diet last Monday. I started off nice and slow - 2 shakes and one meal from Monday to Wednesaday, and then I went on 3 shakes a day on Thursday. I was good on Thursday. On Friday I had ONE homemade chicken nugget (that I made for my kids). On Saturday I had ONE mouthful of sweetcorn from my son's lunch. On Sunday I was good. Weighed myself and lost only 1.5kg! So much less than I imagined! I know realistically it is fine - but other people on the CD report 5kg losses in week 1!
So I realised, I didn't really do week 1 in it's 'pure' solely shakes form, and resolved that this week, I will be 100% shakes. Then yesterday (Monday), I was so hungry that I ate 5 nuggets (leftover from last week), and since I was already cheating, I ate two pieces of fish and a few broccoli and cauliflower florets that the kids were having for dinner...
Then TODAY, I was good and good and good and then I ate two granola bars.
So you see - self sabotage.
Anyway, I know the psychology of fat blankets etc. so I kinda know why I did it. I'm not happy with myself, but I'm not overly kicking myself. However, I am writing this blog entry so that I have some accountability and don't brush it off.
Cambridge Diet, Week 2 - REBOOT - starting again properly.
Watch this space (and my figure!)...
