Well done. When I started and did my first week, I was like "Great - but that was only week one - I've got loads more weeks to do....will I be able to do it long-term?????" PANIC!
Now I'm in week 17, I've forgotten what it was like to have my life ruled by food and I look forward to my hot chocs, choc muffins, thai chilli crisps and strawberry mousses! I am now starting to use the things I've been learning with LL counselling to prepare me for my return to food in about a month's time, and I feel SO positive about moving onto this next stage because for the first time in my life I really BELIEVE that I will NOT put it all back on again. I find that abstinence helps you re-evaluate your relationship with food completely and learn from that chance to stand back from it and assess it for what it is.
Luckily, I've been like ice-moose says - I've never seen it as a prison, I've adapted it to my life, and I've been positive throughout. I had one cry/strop the other day (not bad for 17 weeks) which I soon put behind me, and noted that my first thought was not "WHAT CAN I EAT???" but what can I do to help my body do what I want it to do. That's a HUGE leap in the right direction!
Keep it up!
