Hi everyone, i have done the cd diet before , just less than 2 years ago and managed to lose 3 1/2 stone in 4 months.
At first the weight was coming off wonderfully but at about week 6 i hit a major problem.
i started with the dreaded constipation. I tried senna, dulcolax, fibregel, movicol and eventually even tried glycerin suppossitories ( yes, things were getting that desperate). Slowly, as i became more and more miserable the weight loss slowed rapidly. in the end i simply couldnt do it anymore and my doctor advised me to come off the diet before i end up in hospital.
well last year i dabbled back on cd for about 6 weeks and had to leave due to illness ( not diet related whatsoever) and financial problems. In that time i had devellopped some constipation again but not as bad as the time before.
Now i face a huge dilemma:
I have a long long fight on my hands with the large amount of weight i need to lose.... and my sister has asked me to be her bridesmaid in october this year.... now i know for a fact that i cant face doing it in this hideous body i live in now. I NEED to do something. Within the next 6 weeks or so we will be having a slightly beneficial financial change in the household and i will be more in a financial position to go back on cd. I am so scared of becoming so badly constipated again but i dont see any other way im going to get such good losses to make such a difference between now and October. i have just over 9 months to make as big a dent in my weight as possible. slimming world, slimfast, ww, etc etc just wont get me the losses i need and desire.
I feel a little backed into a corner... scared , overwhelmed and yes, a little excited too. The first 6 weeks on cd were great for me.. perhaps i give it 10 weeks and see how i go huh?.
I guess what im really looking for is just an acceptance back on the boards i havent posted on for so long and some reassurance that im doing the right thing by giving cd another go despite my history with it.
oh boy, i sure can ramble.
anyway, if things go to plan i will be in a position to restart by the end of february, sooner if possible.
ya know, im such a worry wart, i am even nervous of contacting my cdc because i felt like i let her down when i left. how stupid, only i would feel like i let my cdc down by failing at the diet.
well, i look forward to getting to know the newer board posters ( there seem to be a fair few).
may u all have wonderful losses in this coming week.
