Wednesday Weigh In #1

I've been unhappy with my weight for a while. I, like many, get stuck in a cycle of 'unhappy with the way I look, do nothing, stay unhappy, comfort eat'. I wish I was confident and awesome and embraced my belly and wobbly thighs, but I can't. I'm at my largest now I think. I see photos of myself and feel, not quite disgusted, but definitely disappointed. I've had body issues as well as food issues in my teens and early 20s. I shed  a lot of weight quickly in my late teens but gained it (and a lot more) back once I settled into a brilliant relationship. Now that I'm happy in my personal life I want to be happy in my skin.
I've tried many diets but my one big issue is that they always say 'have a treat' 'here's your allowance for naughty food' but I just hear 'it's OK to have a chocolate bar / milkshake / slice of cake' and my brain tells me 'well if I can have 1, why not 2 or 3?!' Bad logic! I've lost weight with Rosemary Conely and Slimming World in the past but have struggled to stick to the rules.
I'm on my second stint of the Cambridge Weight Loss plan now. I lost 16lbs this spring. I kept over half of that off after a long break.
Cambridge works for me as there's no syns or points or cheats allowed. I have 3 Cambridge products a day and a small meal. That's it.

This week I lost 5lbs. I'm very pleased with this. First weeks are usually big losses and I'm hoping to stick with at least a 3lb loss a week.
I recently lost my gym buddy and as the nights draw in, my exercise motivation lessens! It's time to be serious about weight loss, for me, and get 100% with myself.

I'm posting about my journey so I am held accountable. With CWP you see your leader 1to1, there's no group, no announcing weight loss or gain, no competition. This isn't about fat shaming, telling people how they should look or saying that everyone should lose weight to be happy. I'm just sharing my experience and feelings.
