Guess who's back...?
Hi -
Firstly, hello everyone. A few of you may remember me, but I would have thought the vast majority are newbies (to me at least!)...
I have been a diet nightmare since finishing (well, dropping off) LL in Feb 2009. I moved onto Slimming World, then Diet Chef, then low carb, then Slimming World again, then Diet Chef etc etc... the motivation kicked in a few times when I probably would have been in the right mind set to start LL again, and get the last few stone off - but I was going out with a guy who was very anti the whole thing (for someone of my current weight - thought it was too extreme. He never knew me at my biggest, so he just saw a size 14/16 person and thought I should go to the gym more, eat less, yada yada. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make him understand I was a 'work in progress', and not a naturally 'average sized' girl.) Anyway...
We broke up at the end of Feb and I decided not to let anyone dictate to me what I should do for me. I spoke to my LLC who agreed to let me do Foundation again - with a group of new starters. Quite unorthadox to do this rather than Returners, but I didn't like the fact that the Returners group was so changeable, people dropping out left right and centre. I loved the security of being in Foundation and supporting each other each week. Building bonds etc...
So, "Anna Of Very Little Willpower 2009" has transformed into "I Will Do This v.2 2010".
I'm on day four today and still feeling the odd hunger pang - but I know that any day now I will kick into ketosis and the rest will be plain sailing. I haven't had any desire to eat... not had to stop myself from thinking about food once, haven't had any cravings etc... I am in the zone. FINALLY!
Anyway - the plan is to lose my last couple of stone. I was 12st 9lbs at my first weigh in and I'd like to get to 10st. I started my group in the last joining week (3rd), so should finish at the same time as them, with any luck.
Will be on these boards as and when I can - probably not as much as the last time around because I have a very hectic job these days and I have no time to slack off (says she, writing this while at work on possibly the busiest day of the year for the company!!!!!)...
Be good to know how all the oldies are getting on... i.e. those I knew from Anna v.1
ONWARDS AND DOWNWARDS - catch you all soon,
Anna xx
