Well today was a really hard day! I had my tetra for breakfast and then felt sick :( emailed my councillor and she suggested that I have a break of about 30 mins after my water before having my Shake as my stomach might be over stretched.
Tried that and still felt ill, but it didn't last as long ... don't know if that's because of the new way of eating them, or just that my body is getting used to them!
Later on felt really hungry, but came home and had my Soup, and felt okay. Went to the Pub for the weekly quiz and both me and hubby stuck to water, I could have died for a Diet Coke :(
By the end of the quiz I was as hungry as I ever have been .. it was actually painful - decided to only do this diet for 3 months and then switch to Weight Watchers.
Went to bed starving, but at least this diet is not giving me insomnia, if anything I'm more tired.
Oh well - on to Day 4

Day 2
Today has been tough ... I expected it to be tough, but I secretly hoped I'd be different and would sail through lol
I had a headache when I woke up, which was okay - I can put up with headaches! Got to work and started my Tetra and water. Then felt really sick, but managed to force the rest of my Choc Tetra down and a litre of water along with 2 Nurofen.
About an hour or so later I felt fine, actually I felt good! By the time Lunch time came I was actually looking forward to my Tetra ... then 10 mins after I finish it I felt really sick again. Apparently it's quite common to feel sick straight off, there are so many nutrients and vitamins in the shakes that my body isn't used to - that it can make you feel sick. So tomorrow I will drink them a lot slower and hopefully I'll be okay.
I weighed myself this morning and was down 3lb! But I'm not getting too excited because my scales are tempremental things!
Anyway, hubby has gone to the pub so I'm going to watch crappy tv and look forward to my Chicken and Mushroom Soup.
Hoping Day 3 will be better!!!

Day 1
Well woke up excited this morning although a bit tired, didn't sleep too well.
Got to work and had 1.5 litres of water before 10.00! Had my first meal at 0930 - a Chocolate bliss Tetra Shake ... and it was lovely!! Really rich though, it lasted me about an hour.
Drinking water is the key - I hardly felt hungry at all this morning, and believe me I can feel hungry after a huge Sausage Baguette and a bottle of diet coke! I managed to wait to about 1.15 for my 2nd Tetra, which considering I was planning on having it at 1230 isn't too bad :)
My head feels kind of tight and I'm a bit lightheaded, but it's nothing too bad.
This evening I had Vegetable soup, which wasn't bad - not amazing, but definatly worth having again, maybe with a little more water as it was a touch powdery - but I'm just really happy I actually liked it, as I'm not really a soup person.
I feel really positive about this diet, I know it's only the first day, and I expect tomorrow to be really hard, but at the end of the day it's just food!
Feeling sleepy, probably due to the lack of sleep last night and the diet, so will sign off now and watch some TV before bed.
Yay me!!

Worries creeping in
Hi
Seeing my CDC at 2000 tonight ... am getting really scared that I won't be able to do this now. I've put so much hopes into this being the diet for me. I guess it's normal to be nervous, and I know I have to stick to it ... but still I'm getting really worried
This diet for me is going to be the answer to everything - so I have to make it work!! I have a LONG way to go and that is making my mind boggle too.
I know all the answers to my worries - one day at a time, break my weight down into mini goals, but at the end of the day I know I want to lose 9 stone ARGHHHH I'm driving myself mad lol

Ready set .....
Well I've just returned from the Doctor and he has signed my forms so I can officially start the Cambridge Diet. I had to get the form signed because my BMI is over 40 (!!!!!) I was so scared he wouldn't sign the form, as I am so ready to start this diet.
So I see my Cambridge Diet Counsellor (CDC) on Monday evening and start the diet on Tuesday 28th August 2007 (which also happens to be my 3rd Wedding Anniversary)
I'm not sure how much I weigh at the moment. It was about 19 stone before I went on 2 weeks holiday to Cornwall, so I'm sure it's more than that now!! I guess I'll find out on Monday!
Okay - I could gabble on about how much I'm excited about starting this diet ... and how I feel it's the start on a new chapter in my life ... but I think I'll leave it and post again on Tuesday.
