Hello all, Everything has been going great but today ended with a rough hour and I think it might help if I write it down. It might also help with the automatic thought processing that we have just started learning about in class.
I have reduced my weight by 2 stone since starting LL about 5 weeks ago, felt very happy, healthy and in control. I have exams going on and my dad hasn't been well necessitating a fair ammount of extra travel for me but I have felt fine.
I noticed particularly last weekend that I was cross with people (directly) which is a bit out of character for me. The only 'down side' that I have experienced with LL (and I'm not sure it is a downside) is that I do get tired in the evenings but, because I haven't been drinking alcohol, I have been offering lifts home to friends as often as possible. Twice this weekend, for different reason, I felt my mates were taking advantage a bit and I got cross with them because they had had a drink or 5 too many. I would have been like them 6 weeks ago but, especially as I was tired, I couldn't help being annoyed with what I saw as their ingratitude and indecision. Anyway, I thought it was a storm in a tea cup but one of them took a pop at me about it today and really caught me off guard - saying she couldn't say anything more to me as it might cause a full break down in our friendship. I guess I'm worried that my new confidence might be a bit over the top, that I'm not managing my tiredness properly, that I will change too much and possibly need to change some friends as a result of this, that it might not work or that a mean streak in me will be exposed. To be honest if it was one incident, I could probably explain it away, but I also pointed something out to a colleague and she flet undermined, and another colleague seemed to appear rude to me as well. Is it a full moon? Is it everyone else? Is there hope for me?
