Hey Mia, Oh yes, I know... I am planning now, I can't go back and not have a super tight plan on how I will eat once I'm back to food. My biggest problem is that I eat nothing and then everything. I have to do breakfast, snack, lunch, snack and dinner. And definetily in moderation. So, I will make it, and I long for balance in life and not be doing this jojo up and down dieting. I have lost and gained between 60-70 lbs 4 times since my kids were born. And always lost it fast, kept it off when I stay healthy, then lose it and gain it all back. Not this time. Like you did, I will be prepared and succeed this time! Thank's for all your good advice! You are a true inspiration Mia! Love from Lisa --Previous Message-- : : 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. : : : : --Previous Message-- : Lisa, you are fantastic and I'm so very : proud : of you...just remember you have the rest of : your life to eat real food again, this is : short term and you are so in control. : Sandra : : --Previous Message-- : Hey girls, : Today is my day 14 without a single peace of : food in my mouth. I am amazed, it took me : months to get going... But I am just : thrilled I'm on it, and in control! But, : believe me, sometimes I get a little tired : and frustrated, I do miss food alot... But : it is worth it! Right now I am also planning : for how I will eat during my vacation so I : don't gain the weight back. I am in my pants : again... I don't try to cover up my belly : with my arms all the time when I sit... I : used to be 227 lbs at my heaviest and I : never want to go back! I was at a point : where if I wouldn't have stopped I would : have been over 300 now. I couldn't seem to : stop myself and now I have a system. : Wonderful! : Have a great day all of you, be good to : yourselves, keep your eyes on the prize!!!! : Lisa : : : : :
