This is my diary... I am a LL Returner.
I did this wonderful diet 3 and a half years ago and it felt like an absolute dream... it was so ridiculously easy. I couldn't believe I hadn't done it sooner. I never got hungry or had any cravings, never cheated and I promised myself I would never go back. I lost over 4 stone and went from a chubby 16 to an 8/10. That lasted for all of a year and I was at a 10/12 and perfectly content.
I had the body I had only dreamed of when I was a teenager and had the admiration of every boy(how 14 yrs old do i sound) I had ever fancied, when i had always just been the 'friend'. My teenage crush even confessed his undying love for me for the last 10 years!!! (slightly shallow I hear you say, yes I think he is too!) I married the boyfriend who had seen me pre LL and loved me, and couldn't get enough of me post LL. So why now nearly 4 years later I am sitting here, with nearly 5 stone (8 Kgs heavier than when i started LL in 2008) to lose and a whole lot more to prove to myself and everyone else that thinks I will just fail again! Well.... thats why I have decided to start this cyber journey of self discovery and hopefully wont bore you all too much...
Today is day one.... Really not loving the Apple and Cinnamon Porridge it tastes so Metallic. The Carbonara and texture of Pasta was a treat and very looking forward to the ever faithful banana shake later this afternoon. Need to drink way more water and try and not feel like an absolute tit every time I have to walk across the grand 50 meter reception to get to the bathroom... I think the receptionists think i have a problem with my frequent need to Pee already!!! think I need to go now!!!
Had my first meeting yesterday with my new counsellor and it was very weird... She didn't explain the plan to me, she didn't give me any guidance... I know I have done it before but that was quite a few years ago. I also had to buy the green study book.. which is very different and more of 'an about LL' rather then a work book about the counselling element. The group walk was also rather bizarre... I think my LLC is rather narcissistic and basically spent most of the time talking about herself. Maybe its was just yesterday.. lets see. I like that she has a background in psychotherapy so hoping I get to learn some good techniques. The group were lovely.. all normal and wonderful women. But there was hardly any interaction... No-one spoke about their weight loss or if they had a bad week or even a great week. I loved that element of my group first time. You felt you were really compelled not to let your group down... I am hoping that changes and its far more interactive...
Anyway... time to have a Coffee..x
