Yes, there is a life after Cambridge and yes, you will be able to eat real food again... But, and there is a HUGE but - you will never be able to go back to your old eating habits again!! They put you in a situation where you needed a drastic diet to get rid of the extra weight... If you go back to the old eating pattern, you will soon have to start on CD again... Yes, you can eat real food in moderation... I've kept off my weight for over 2 years now, and the clue is PLANNING... Plan your meals and stick to the plan. If you want to eat something fatty, put it in your plan but keep the rest of the day very low fat and healthy. You can do this once a week, but not every day... We should treat our bodies nicely and not feed it lots of junk. After all, real food can also be healthy and tasty at the same time. Good luck to you all, and start planning for your life after CD... Prepare yourself mentally and educate yourself on healthy eating. Supporting hugs to you all, Mia.
