I think you were doing CD last time I was doing it. I have thought about hypnosis,you will have to let me know how you get on. I really do think my problem with food is deep rooted in me. I am not very fond of the shakes, or the soups or the bars for that matter. I have to stand in the kitchen and down the shakes, I have them as cold as possible - lots of ice! I cant have the soups as they are hot and I cant drink it quickly!

I know exactly how you feel! I had a few weeks off work and I used the time to potty train my ds. I wore my tracksuit bottoms every day! Looked awful and regularly shoe horning myself into my uniform/jeans reminds me that I cant just eat and eat and eat. Lets just say at the end of the 2 weeks my uniform was very very snug!

Congratulations on your wedding blessing - how lovely! I tried to message you back but it wouldn't let me (or I was doing it wrong ). It was a wedding that made me realise last time I did this. We got measured for our bridesmaids dresses shortly after I had had my ds, I refused point blank to be measured, I had, in fairness, alot of padding (bandeges etc.) around my tummy (I split my c section scar back open) so it was agreed I would take myself back to be measured at a later date, 2 months or so. I managed to put the apt. off for 8 months, each month stating that I would sort myself out but never did. In the end I had to go for the measurements, but I assured the lady who measured me I was not normaly this size - she ordered me a size 18.
I soon forgot about the dress and continued to eat and eat and eat. Then quite a few months later, I got my exciteable sister on the phone telling me our dresses had arrived and did I want to go up and see them? No, but I went any way. I opened up this dress carrier and I pulled out the size 8 dress that my little sister would be wearing,she tried it on and looked simply stunning, I then pulled out the size 14 affair the other bridemaid would be wearing - it was too big for her but again she looked beautiful, then I turned my attention to the 1 remaining tent dress in the carrier. I cant even discribe it, there was just yards and yards and yards of this green fabric spilling out! There has been a mistake I thought. No, it fitted perfectly! And I promtly burst into tears!
So, on to the Cambridge diet I went - as I had an end goal in mind ( the thought of being imortalised forever in all the pictures, in a green tent, made me feel ill) I found it quite easy! On the morning of the wedding I climbed on the scales to see I had lost 28lbs. The dress needless to say had to be taken in time and time again. Luckily the lovely dress maker knew of the cambridge diet as her brother often went on it and she was so accomadating. In the end I had a final fitting on the Thursday and the poor women worked through the night to have the dress back with me on the Friday.
I need a good kicking to keep me on track - I am hungry now, will mix my shake shortly. I am at work tomorrow, and its my day 3! I am thinking it will be hard.
I will try my very very hardest to keep you motivated,losing weight is so hard, but at least the first step has been made!!!! As for the slendertone - every little helps lol
