Discovery Home & Health

Hey mate good to see you back, must admit i was worrying about you, supposed i should have txt so i apologise for not doing that. You know we are here for you, but that doesnt really help when you are struggling does it, altho you can always shout, scream and rant at us whenever you like. I admire your determination to keep trying babe and i still know you can do this (both you and claire), i wish i was in the right place to join you, but will have to stick with my special k challenge instead until finances are more favourable.

Oh and one more thing, if you go off sulking again i will severely kick your butt, not posting does not help when your struggling....you know i am right!

Excuse me BB but your AWOL yet again, this really isnt good enough you know

NOW I AM SHOUTING AT YOU, I HAVE TXT YOU TOO AND YOU STILL HAVENT RETURNED

Hey Karen, hope you are ok? just found you on page 2

Hi Karen,
so sorry you're struggling at the moment. You did sooo well last year too. Your post could almost have been written by me. I did okay last year too but have been trying to restart CD since August without success. Just can't get past day 4. Have re-started again today and have got myself a lovely CD counsellor which helps. I hope you find something that suits you. It's just about your head being in the right place I think. Mine was last week until my mum left a homemade chocolate fudge cake out - and bang had to restart again. Why do we do it to ourselves when all we want is to be slim?! Take care and I hope you're successful in whichever diet you choose to do. You know you can do it as you did it before! Sorry to ramble but I know exactly where you're coming from.

jhonsonrudes could you clear up something for me please, the following is quoted from your own post on another thread just a few days ago where you clearly state that vlcd diets dont work so i was wondering what made you change your mind and go to CD?


"Hello,

Yes, know alot about it, its very expensive - works out to be about £250 per month. You are not allowed to eat anything!!! You feel terrible - you have to drink 4 litres of water a day at least. You lose on average a stone a month.... thats if you can only drink these milkshakes (4 per day) - my friend lost 6 stone - I tried it for a month and just couldnt do it, I felt sooo hungry and dizzy. My friend has since put all her weight back on after coming off the diet and I am following a sensible eating plan. Believe me - this is the best option. I feel so much better and the weight is falling off me because my body doesnt feel like its in starvation mode. Takes a little bit longer but you will feel so much better for it.
Good Luck"

Hi everyone,

I'm ok, no need to worry, I haven't fallen off the edge of the world. Its nice of you to be thinking of me though. I've been sick to death of dieting and now I'm in a right pickle as I am only half a stone lighter than I was when I started. Im mad with myself but keep saying I can do it again, but can I?????

Im having a go anyway. So far today I have had a tetra, a bar, 2 very small apples and tonight I am having a cottage cheese salad. Its got to be better than what I was having anyway.

No need to worry about me though, Im not suicidal or anything lol. Just annoyed with the good work I've now undone.

I will try and get back on here tomorrow. Off to the gym when I get back from work.

Take Care,
Love Karen x

just wanted to say hi i'm sure you were on when i was way back when like you i lost alot of weight over 10 stone but like you put on over 7 stone felt like sh*t excuse my french i maintained so well for over a year had a bodged tummy tuck nearly died fell into depression and ate for the whole world never made me feel better though so i came back i am on week 3 as of today and my weight loss is 15lbs it is so hard to get your head around dieting but i know and have confidence that we can do it we did it once we can do it again so come on (kick up the backside) get your head in the right place start thinking you are a worthy person again because you are and keep at it i wish you all the luck as we both know this hill is so very hard to climb but one day we will be victorious at the top looking down on the world feeling amazing
hope you are ok and remember keep posting i believe that was my downfall as much as our family and friends are supportive we actually know what you are going through
take care hope to read a new post from you soon

Hey Karen... i so know where you are coming from.. i am in exactly the same boat.. i have regained most of what i have lost andi could kick myself up and down the road and back again for allowing myself to get back here....I have tried to get back on the CD wagon but i fail time and time again....this weekend is hannahs birthday and also would have been my due date as well.... so i am going to do my best to get throughthe next week and see how where my head is at....then i think it will be time to give myself a big talking to and do it once and for all... feel free to join me....
Glad you are ok....

BB where have you gone how are you doing?

Im here!! Dont panic

Well, ive been thinking over the weekend and I think I have come to the conclusion that as much as I would love to do CD again and lose it all as quick, it aint gonna happen. I cant stick to it long enough and Im sure that i have caused this gain by doing it/not doing it and gaining more and more everytime. I dug out my slimming world books this morning and I think I am going to give this a go and see how i get on. Monday mornings will be my weigh in time so i will keep you updated. Hopefully that ticker will be on the move soon.

Its good to be back and great to hear from you all again.

Claire - Hope the weekend was ok, I know how hard due dates and anniversaries can be.

Take Care,
Love Karen x
