Guess who's back...?
Well, it's not the first time I have done the 'first day on Lighter Life', but hopefully it's the last! Was ok - had a few ridiculously hungry/cravy moments - but got through them with the help of a bottle of bleach and a J-cloth. (Gawd bless housework!)
The first time round I told EVERYONE what I was doing - using it as my way to not cheat... added pressure etc. This time, I have told no one apart from two friends - there to back me up if people start pushing me to drink alcohol etc. I know it's technically easier for me to give up this way, but I don't WANT to. I want to get to goal, and I want to see what people's reactions are when they don't know that I am actually dieting - will they notice and say anything if they don't know they are supposed to etc...? Just a bit of fun on my part, I love 'people' and how they act in different situations.
I am also a bit worried about being judged harshly. I mean, to most of my friends I am just a normal size 14, curvy girl - hardly in need of the extremity of LL... but they don't realise it's a bigger battle that started last September. When I was big people were pleased for me, where as now they may think it's a bit much and an irresponsible way to lose weight... as would I, if some 'normal' looking person announced they were going to do LL.
Oh, I don't know what I mean. Makes sense in my head!
So - anyway - that's me... day one down - probably about sixty or so to go - yikes... not going to think about that kind of nastiness! Hehe.
Off to stay with my sister tomorrow (day 2&3... good move, or bad move... only time will tell!) - so that will be nice. I have a new baby niece that is only a couple of weeks old, so I will be able to thoroughly spoil her. Look how beautiful she is!! (Pics below).
Right then you lot - bed time for me. Trying to champion through A Fish Called Wanda (great film), but really need some shut eye to distract me from my rumbling tummy!!
