Just as I was driving the kids to school this morning I had one of my "feeling deprived" moments. I heard an advert for bogof schocolate on the radio and thought how I would love to just go and buy it and eat it and isn't it horrible that I can't have any. Funny enough the moment passed quite quickly and I was mentally stepping out of the situation and analyising what the result of this indulgence would have been. Putting on more weight, possibly bursting out of the last pair of size 16 trousers that fit me and I actually like being slimmer and being able to do my trousers up without suffocating so I decided not to dwell on feeling deprived but instead focus on the good that is coming out of this diet, which I chose after all. And amazingly it worked. I feel that I am really in a good place at the moment.
I was so in two minds as to whether to start this diet just before Christmas but it is definitely the right decision

1st Weigh In
Yeah, I lost 7 lbs in my first week.
I am really happy with this. My trousers feel looser and I can already see a change in my face (the dreaded double chin that started to make a reapperance is significantly reduced already).
I really enjoy the Cambridge Diet so far, I love the fact that I can have milk in my coffee without having to feel guilty (I am doing SS+) and only really felt really bad on day 2 and 3 and good after that.
I did have a little wobble on Monday evening though. I was under quite a bit of stress and was desperate to resort to old habits of eating to make me feel better/make situation go away/having a magic wand to solve problem, and ended up eating some tuna and a bit of cheese. it was interesting to observe how desperately my body wanted to react with eating to stress, and I know how this on a normal day would have led to contiuous eating throughout the evening. I was just happy that I chose to stop before any real damage was done and was relieved that I still was in ketosis the next day.
So week one over with, week 2 here I come.
