Poppy - pleased for you that the decision is made and you recognise the comments for what they are. All the best in getting to goal and through RTM. Onward ->

Just mentioned on H's thread re the negative comments that the horrible woman who told me I was going to look ugly, and that I looked nice until a few weeks previously said to me "hello lollipop head"

My mum says this to me too! She reckon's I've got "quite a large head and if (you) lose any more weight you will look 'all out of proportion' "

Now if that ain't b*llocks/crooked thinking then what is!!!


As for that last 5lbs, best to weigh up pro's and con's I reckon.

Pro's
Get to the goal you set yourself - mentally happy
Have a little extra 'leeway' when it comes to RTM and gaining a few lbs back


Con's
Feeling rougher than before during last few weeks
This last 5lbs probably isn't going to make much difference in terms of dress size/how you look physically


The idea of the milk week sounds a good one, I think I am going to do one very soon too, just to give my body something a bit 'extra' for a change. After all, you and I have done this for the same time (I think!) and 20 weeks is a long time to be abstinant (especially as the N.I.C.E guidelines tell people that every 12 weeks has to be a milk week or a week off from a VLCD!)

I know I repeat this phrase a lot lately, but it's at the co0re of how I keep going now ; listen to your body. If it tells you you are done, then agree with it - fighting against it will only make things 1000x harder!


EDIT: PS forgot to say, re: the photo's you look fantastic and healthy! So don't worry yourself on that front

I did full abstinence for 10 months. Decided not to do milk week, didn't want to rock the boat while it was going so well.
I'm really glad about it because one of the ladies from my group has never got back on track since.
Until last year there never was a milk week.
