Good questions to ask a LL counsellor before you start? - Page 2 - MiniMins.com

laststraw · 24th November, 2008

Thanks MM and to whoever suggested the constipation question

Have added to the list.

snannapuss · 12th January, 2009

this was really helpful and has made me think of another questopn. My llc is quite overweight, how do i go about asking her about her experience with ll without causing offence?

Mini_Me · 12th January, 2009

You could ask her for some feedback on how she found LL and what happens afterwards regarding staying at the goal you set yourself. Make it about you, and ask for her input from her experience... if that makes sense??

e.g. "Since you have done LL, can you share with me how you coped afterwards with regards to staying on top of your goals? This is something that concerns me..."

etc.

Ask about the sweetners and what you can take, most neglect to tell people its on the pellets and not the powder versions.

Ask her about recipe's as some give them out to you on a sheet.

This is actually on the new DVD now. So even if your LLC mentions it you should (if you're paying attention!) realise.

laststraw · 12th January, 2009

Are there new DVDs Em? Are they played every week or was there just a welcome one?

EmVeg · 12th January, 2009

Week one only - and its a shorted on in week one now apparently.

But no more from now on.

thin_inside · 22nd January, 2009

Is there a DVD every week? We had a dvd in week one, but not week 2? My LLC said the meetings will be 1.5 hours and strictly to time. And they are! She starts weighing at dot of 6 and the meeting is stopped at 7.30pm. In fact she has another group starting at 7.30 so we can't even ask questions after.

EmVeg · 23rd January, 2009

No, DVD on week one only.

Our meetings have been around two hours right now, but normally because it takes around an hour and a half to wiegh us all!

thin_inside · 23rd January, 2009

Thanks. Just been reading my Foundation book I got this week. It suggests there would be a dvd each week. Maybe these have been pulled since the book started.

EmVeg · 23rd January, 2009

Yeah, I know there were still some of the older books out there - a couple in my group made references to them - but I think it is a change that had been made for this year.

bigboy77 · 22nd February, 2009

ive been using powdered sweetener, damn! will have to change.

loconnor83 · 23rd February, 2009

on the same topic as constiparion - you could ask you LLC for suggestions on what to do for diarrhoea. Charming, I know

Crystal Star · 2nd April, 2009
