Hi All,
I friend of mine has just finished his 12 weeks on LighterLife and lost over 5 stone. His story has been an inspiration to me and so I've signed up. I had my introduction meeting on Sunday and, providing my GP is happy for me to go ahead, I start a week tomorrow. I'm just finding this week very difficult because i've suddenly become VERY aware of how unhappy I am with my appearance. I hate knowing that i'm going to change it, but having to wait for next wednesday to be able to start it. I know this sounds really impatient, but i'm in the mindset and ready to go! How did everyone feel in the time leading up to their first week?
I'm only 18, but weigh 15st7lb and i've always struggled with my weight. I always used to try and blame it on different things, but the truth is I do just overreat. I have tried all different diets, but realised that I needed one that told me exactly what I can and can't eat so that I don't have the chance to give in to that voice that is telling me to 'have a little bit more'... I hope this is making sense
My mum is turning 50 this year and has just gone through weight loss surgery. Watching her go through it has made me realise that I don't want to wait 30 years and have to do something as drastic as surgery.
I'm also worried about how people will react to me doing it because I am younger. I have decided not to tell my friends at college to start with because i'm worried what they will think. I spoke to my LL councillor about it on Sunday and she said that once they start noticing a change in me and how much happier I am, they should accept it more. Does anyone have any experience with something similar? Friends, family, work colleagues reacting badly?
Sorry if i've blabbered a lots, any help you could offer would be amazing!!!
