I did LL in 2005 for 8 weeks, I gave up at my step-daughter's wedding. For me I did not think that the extra cost of LL was justifiable, my LLC was not very engaging and the counselling was to sit and watch a 30 dvd every week which I thought was a bit of a con. I also did not like the signing a pledge to the other members of the group bit as I felt this was pressure I did'nt need, for me it was setting me up to fail which I eventually did.
Over the last 2 years I have played with CD, never really able to stick to it until now. The reason:
I'm fat at 40 which I never intended to be, however I may have started my 40th year fat but I'm determined not to finish it fat.
I booked a holiday for DH and I, we go to the caribbean on Christmas day and you can bet that this year instead of being embarrassed about my size every day of the holiday, I'm gonna be there slinking around in a bikini having a ball.
At the moment I have a really stressful job that I hate, CD is giving me control of my life and is the one thing that I feel good about.
Big pro's for CD:
More choice of flavours
bars are nicer, I'm in love with the peanut and look forward to a bar a day
