New years resolutions, The Cambridge Diet

I havent taken the time to write anything for a while and to be honest its because ive felt so low and had nothing nice to say. I have tried to pursuade myself to keep possitive and that a new year will mean a fresh start and hopefully better things will happen for us, just a shame i let myself ruin christmas because of my own self pitty. But i will write about all that when i have stopped being pissed off about it all.

Anyway New year for me means new years resolutions so here we go the same as most years actually

1. Lose 4.5 stone
2. Go the gym more often
3. Cut down/give up smoking
4. No more alchohol
5. Be less stressed

Well so far ive not cut down smoking and im still stressed but suprisingly i have given up alcohol. Im on my 5th day of the Cambridge Diet and as soon as the snow has gone ill be straight up the gym and ive got to say im begining to feel more confident and possitive im actually looking forward to doing some physical exersize!

 I was really exited about starting the Cambridge Diet as weird as it may sound but there really are some fantastic success stories, people seem to lose weight at a great speed and theres also a realistic programme to finish to help you maintain your ideal weight. I have decided that i need to shift 4.5 stones to make me feel normal again so here are my stats for starting my diet (aperently im classed as obese!)

Hight=   5.5 feet (1.67meters) or (66 inches)
Starting weight =  13.1 stone (183.4lbs) or (83.18 kilos)
Starting BMI=  31

Waist Size= 37 inches (93.98 cm)

I know bloody scary isnt it! Well my first weigh in is on tuesday with my counsiller Brenda, we have decided the best programme for me is the sole source which means all i eat is 3 sachettes a day either of milkshakes soups or porridges so i decided to go for the porridge and 2 soups a day. Im very impressed with the support shes very lovely and still on the diet even though she looks amazing! so i really feel like i can do this in fact every day its getting that little bit easier.

Day 1. Picked up my soups and porriges from brenda, its expensive works out about 38.00 a week (sorry no pound sign) soups are yummy not sure about porrige but not really that hungry all day so big thumbs up!

Day 2. Woke up hungry this morning looking forward to porrige didnt taste that bad actually (apple and cinemon flavour) was desperate for my soup by luch time absolutly starving! got a really dry mouth and my lips are chapped going to the loo every 10 mins because of the water intake. Evening was even worse went bed early to stop thinking about food.

Day 3. Last night i was dreaming about my diet and how someone put milk in my tea an i went mental and started hitting them saying "youve ruined everything, i hate you"  bit extreme i know must be a sign of my metal state! dont feel quite so hungry today, my stomache is very rumbly though and really starting to struggle with the 3 ltrs of water a day, begining to make me gag. Starving by evening started playing games on my p.c to take my mind off it.

Day 4. Didnt sleep well last night, im drinking lots of tea and coffee to take the edge off so going very often to the loo and buzzin around like a looney. Found it difficult getting breckfast down, but really not so hungry today im hoping this is the Ketosis kicking in and im burning some of the fat off. Starving by 9pm again didnt get to sleep till 2am.

Found my before pic to put on, its awfull and shows just how big ive got but as soon as the weight starts coming off ill post it for comparison.

I would love to hear back from anyone whos done the diet and how you got on with it, and some words of support would be lovely its going to be a long journey so any thing will help me along the way x
