See you there!

Well, this is it. I'm sorry but this post will conclude this blog. I tried and really gave it an honest effort, but Cambridge is just not for me. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from doing this though. For many it has been an EXCELLENT way to lose weight, and keep it off. However I am not one of those people.

I will be starting a NEW BLOG. I just returned from having Lap Band© surgery on 4/3/2007.
If you have a medical problem you usually go to a doctor to get treatment don't you? Well, I did.
If you would like more info on Lap Band© surgery, the least invasive weightloss surgery today, feel free to contact me. It is an outpatient procedure, with VERY few risks. I loved my whole experience!
Good Luck in all your efforts!

Hi everyone!

I'm still here. I've been really busy, and have been on the go a lot. I've also been eating some of the time too. Nothing crazy, I've been watching it! I haven't gained ANY, but unfortunately didn't lose any either! However, I'm holding steady at 239. Today, I went back to Cambridge only. Wasn't bad at all. Now I'm ready to tackle tomorrow! Hope you are all doing well. I'd would write more, but I'm SO sleepy!
Nite!

Day 3, yipppeee!

Yes, I have made it to day 3, and I'm now 6.5 pounds lighter! See why Cambridge is THE diet to be on? How many people do you know, have been on a diet for 2 days, and lost 6.5 pounds? OK, I know it's gonna slow down some now, but I've RARELY lost less than 5 pounds a week! How many other diets can make that claim?

If' you're NOT on any kind of diet program, and you're DESPERATE to lose weight, I would suggest you give Cambridge a try! But be SURE that you are DESPERATE to lose weight, otherwise you won't have the willpower to stick with it. Those first 3-4 days are pure TORTURE, but if you can survive them it's easy sailing! If you do have a bobble, jump back on! I've bobbled SEVERAL times, in case you haven't noticed. BUT, I always come BACK to Cambridge, because it's the ONLY diet that has ever delivered upon it's promises! Hard? Yes, at first. Worth it? OH yes, yes, yes!

Mind Over Mouth

Everything we do starts in the mind. Your mouth can't make you cheat on your diet. It's not gonna just start gobbling up sweets, or pizza on it's own! Everytime I have cheated on a diet I have had a conversation with my mind first, and it usually goes something like this...

Mind- you KNOW you want a big piece of cake, or maybe a slice of pizza, or maybe some greasy potato chips!
Me- I AM ON A DIET!
Mind- You can always start over tomorrow, besides think how GOOD that pizza would taste!
Me- I really want to lose this weight, and if I get off track, I May not be able to get back on!
Mind- SURE you can! Just go ahead, look in the refridgerator, there's LOT'S of goodies in there!
Me- Really I shouldn't!
Mind- But you are SOOOO hungry! Come on, let's go get some fast food.
Me- Well....I guess I could start over tomorrow.
Mind- yes, yes, yes, you can! No big deal! Come on EAT!
Me- OK, I DO really want a juicy cheeseburger!
Mind- yeah, and don't forget those FRIES! How about a shake, or a great big cold COKE? If you're gonna cheat, let's do it RIGHT!
Me- OK, let's go! What else would be good?

Then at other times, when I have been really sucessful the conversation goes something like this...

Mind- Hey, why don't you order a pizza?!!
Me- I'm on a DIET, now SHUT-UP, and don't even THINK about food!
Mind- But...
Me- NO, I'm not listening to you! I'm NOT entertaining these thoughts, not for one second! Food is not an option, ONLY Cambridge! I WILL STAY ON THIS DIET! Let me think about what I can do, to distract myself. I'll go for a walk, or get online, and talk to my Cambridge buddies, or maybe soak in the tub!
Mind- Bye, sniff, sniff...

SO, this is the conclusion you CAN control what goes in your mouth! You just have to STOP the thoughts of food before they can take hold! Just say "NO", and change what you are doing, or change your environment, ANYTHING to FORGET about cheating! The more you let yourself THINK about food, the harder it is to resist! You can do this!

Now, about me....Day 1 was a success! I stayed on track, and today I'm 4 pounds LIGHTER! Yep, down to 242! WE can do this! On to DAY 2!

OKAY, I'm back! Long time gone!

It's been WAY too long, and a lot has changed. First of all, we moved to Iowa. It's nice here, but it's REALLLLY COLD! We moved here in November, and I steadily gained back all my lost weight! The holidays, and stress eating, and all the people in the neighborhood brought brownies, cookies, cakes, pies, and all SORTS of goodies to welcome us!

Not only that, but it has been like a continous VACATION since we moved here. Hubby has wanted to try out all the restaurants, plus we've had so much company. People wanting to see our new home, and we end up going out to the wonderful restaurants with them! It's been food, food, food EVERYWHERE. I know, it's NO EXCUSE, but I DID IT.

But, I'm back now, and I'm ready to get this weight off for GOOD. I had almost decided to get Lap Band surgery, but once again I thought about it, and decided I really don't want to go that route. So what do I do? Do what WORKS. I know this works, and if I do what I'm supposed to, the weight WILL come off.

So here goes DAY 1. I think I weighed 247 the first time I did Cambridge. Well today I weigh 246. So, let's just see what the scales say tomorrow!

EXCITING NEWS! I was asked to do an interview, for another website! Check it out, it's a very inspiring website!
It is... "Weightloss Tips.com" or www.wltips.com
I'm still plugging away. See my progress! I'm happy. Nothing major going on. Excited that Cambridge has introduced some new products. Yummy new bars! Can't wait to try them! See you later!
