My cambridge diet story
I am sending this out to anyone interested in my cambridge diet story. Today 22.March.07 is the first day of the rest of my life, i have started on the Cambridge diet. I am 5 feet 9 inches and weigh a wopping 305lbs, and only 23 years old. I know huge ehy. My BMI is 43+ and they say i am morbidly obese, again gross a mondo.
A bit of back ground. I did Lighterlife in April 2005, after every diet i have either succeeded on eventually failed becuase i like to eat large quanties of food at any sitting. The diet worked, and i lost 4 stones in 80 days, with two days of cheating, yes i know i did cheat, but the results were amazing. The diet was easy to stick to because i was on exam leave and spending all day studying really meant i didnt have time to think about cooking or even eating out. So great ehy diet worked. I still had more to loose but with me Moving to London to do my Masters course and a 2 month trip to China looming, i decided to take a break from the diet. When i got back from China i had gaine 4lbs, hardly criminal becuase i knew i was eating all type of food and things i didnt even know how to say.
So now in London, I had to find a new counsellor, and I did. I was back on track, untill required social events for my course started the creep in. But to my avial i worked out 4 times a week and i would eat out for my dinings 3 times a week for 3 weeks, but in the day i would still use my pack. I didn't put on any weight, but i didnt loose either. My counsellor wasn't the best on the market and i feel it was a reason why i couldnt succeed like i wanted to, because the support wasn't there. So i left after 2 months is. The real problem set in when the price of the Lighterlife foodpacks went up. As a student it was out of my budget, so what did i do, i tried to find a new programme, which i did and it was Cambride.
I wasn't too impressed about the counselling sessions with cambridge, but hey it was the food packs and cheaper price i was looking for. I did cambridge for about a month, and keept my weight the same, because i wasn't any longer commited. It was the same old thing every weekend, Oh i'll have this extra large pizza, and pint of icecreme and be back on track on Monday. Word of adivce never start a diet on money, you are more likley to fail than succeed. And the cycle repeated over and over again, till i started noticing my jeans were getting tight, and most of my clubbin clothes didnt look as hot on me as i remembered.
Then more exams came aound, and i thought great the i can do, but i didnt. By the end of the summer on my trip to amsterdam i realiesed i had gained 2 stone backs and had a cabinet full of foodpacks.
Long story short the weight gain did not stop, how could it, i never finished the lighterlife program gave up on Cambridge before it could help me. I then moved back home to the Turks and Caicos islands. I have been here for 6 months, and wait for it, i have gaine nearly 40 lbs. One would think that I would stop ehy.
I am now 25 pounds heavier than i was in April 2005 when i started lighterlife, and well the time has come for me to STOP. STOP making excuses, stop bindge eating, stop killing myself. What really hit home with me was, me travelling to Freeport in the Bahamas to see my mewborn Nephew and not fitting fully in the small airplane seat. I alomst had to request an extra seat belt, but i sucked in my gut and made it work. I was the worst 30 mins flight of my life. I have made the decision to stop making the excuses.
I know this post is long, but i think it has helped me to realise that i have had a lot of issues with food and rewarding myself with it, and i need to stop it all and change, and i have decided to do so with Cambridge. Really becuase i have so many packs and have brought them all to TCI with me, and also becuase i am going on a cruise in 78 days and i want my boyfriend to see me in a swinsuit and not cringe. Muahahahahahaha.
I will try and post everyday of my battles and triumps, but i am a busy attorney so might miss a day. Believe me this will be the funniest blog you read, and it might help a few of you as well. Well here we go. Day 1!
