Hey ladies sorry, been really ill again. I think LT has really messed up my gut but it's my fault for coming on and off of it I guess. So as you've probably all guessed, I've gained weight but I'm ok
. My metabolism is back up I'm sure and I've started SW.
I've learnt that not all diets work for everyone, sure there are some people who can keep weight off from a VLCD and there are many who can't. I guess I'm one of those people. I've just got to get a grip and be realistic from now on. Losing weight fast has got it's benifits on the outside of me but internally, I'm destroying myself. I'm weak, my skin resembles that of an anorexic, I ache everywhere and I get ill very easily. As for my digestive system, LT has screwed me over. I'm now on medication for it as my guts have been put under so much pressure from going back to LT everytime I freaked out like a moron from small gains. How long can I keep this up? I can't, and I won't.
I realised that I just have to take the high road and lose weight slowly. Without deprivation, without restriction, without the aid of a liquid that was slowly ruining me.
I'm not saying LT is a horrible diet, It's proven results and has made me happy. But I started to see that I was addicted to the programme, I was like a drug addict. Off LT, I miss it, I crave it. Not for the taste but because of the simple fact that I can lose weight. I would never be satisfied, eventually, I know I would get to target but want more.
For me, LT has helped me lose a huge bulk. Now I've got to do the hard bit, I have to learn to live with food. I have to lose the rest naturally. Sure it'll take longer, but I know that it will be worth it, but more importanly benificial to my health.
I am so happy to have been on LT though, knowing all you amazing people. Without you guys I don't think I would have gained the courage and support that I feel today. Thank you all so much
