Hi all,
Been reading thru threads and I am starting to realise it's not just me who has such highs and lows on Lighter Life. I'll briefly explain why I am here and why I am in a pickle.
I started LL last year but after 4 days packed it all in. Just found it so hard. My mum continued and lost 3 stones and kept it off. I joined WW and in four months I lost 2 stone. I was happy but I knew I was still 2 stone over weight and just was finding it sooo hard to diet anymore, my bad habits were just creeping up on me at all angles . This was May and I am getting married in August - so my mum who wanted to shift a bit more weight said why not try LL again. I was desperate so thought what the hell! Anyway this time round was fab - I postponed everything for the first couple of weeks as only told nearest and dearest that I was on it. Lost 16lbs in the first 3 weeks - fab I thought!! Cheated after that and it took absolutely ages to get back in to ketosis, then once I was back in it after a week I'd only lost a lb and I was so disheartened. Then I had my hen weekend (and had already decided to enjoy and worry later). Now I am trying to get back into ketosis but it is so hard, I am going to a bbq tonight and I can see myself picking and I have a night out Friday and just just don't think I have the willpower to do this anymore.:cry:
I know I only want to lose another 7ish lbs but the way I am going its going to take me forever so do you think I am better switching to WW and doing it that way sensibly up to my wedding - I am just dreading not having my packs to fall back on and eating food and my bad habits getting me!
Sorry for the rant just really want some advice xx
