christmas crazies...
I haven't posted here for a really long time, but lately facebook just ain't cutting it for me.
I have, in the last two months, begun a program called 'Cambridge Diet' in order to lose weight. I know -- diets are a bad thing. I have been on some form of fitness regime/diet since I was seven years old, and know all the psychologies and reasons for and against. But my weight/health issues were getting extreme, and I needed something that was easy, left few choices, and worked. Having met someone at work who has lost a great deal of weight through this diet, and found it particularly easy, I thought I'd give it a go.
So far, my weight loss has been 33 lbs. I'm pleased with this, obviously, but have recently found the diet quite difficult. It's basically a shake, a bar and a soup I eat each day, on 'sole source.' Once I have lost the weight I want to lose, I move up to a meal a day, etc and so on. But, my problem is, the closer Christmas gets/the colder it gets, the more food I want. And staying on this diet, especially with the Christmas crazies, is really difficult.
I am not fanatic, and if I have a week of gaining, or a few weeks of not losing much, that is fine with me. But, with Cambridge, someone comes to my house every week to weigh me, and it's the thought that I'm letting her down that gets to me, oddly enough. Anyway, I needed a forum on which to bitch, and you are it!!!! If there's anyone still reading.
