I'm feeling really low and it's just been one of those weeks, kwim?
Started off on Monday night by a 'friend' who had a real go at me for doing CD. I felt verbally attacked she told me I was doing myself real harm. Amongst the things she was saying were things like "as soon as you start to eat again you'll put at least 1/2 of it back on straight away", "your metabalism is completely shutting down so as soon as you eat your body is just going to store everything it gets and you'll gain all the weight", "the 18cms you've lost is just water retention", "of course you're going to lose weight - you're not eating anything!" and the parting shot "well, I'm telling you now, just as soon as you do start eating, you're going to be sooo constipated!!!!".
I felt really low on Tuesday morning and really wanted to eat. But I recognised it for what it was: comfort eating, and I didn't give in to the urge.
Which brings me to the point of this post. Since I started on CD, 10th September, I've stuck to it 100%, never cheated, not once, haven't even been tempted too. I have been drinking around 4 litres of water each day. I had to first get weighed on the morning of 5th day (so only 4 days on CD) and lost 6lbs. A week later and I had lost another 8lbs, so a stone in total.
This week I've only lost 2lbs! I feel so demotivated, I can lose that much a week if I go on a diet where I actually get to eat something... I'm feeling I don't know if it's worth it. Most of the time it has been really easy although I do really miss eating with my family, we usually all eat together as a family, and I'm feeling so seperated from them.
My CDC has said I will almost definitely lose LOADS next week but I'm just not thinking that will be the case.
Anyone else experienced this? I just don't know what to do and to top it all I had my first real, proper job interview today, the first after 10 years or so of being a SAHM and I didn't get the job. Just want to bawl my eyes out and have a chinese takeaway!!!
