Hi there,
I just thought I would pop a post on here. My story is:
Started LL in June 07, and by end of October I had lost 6 stones. My start weight was 18st 1, and I got to 11st 13. My goal is to be 11 stone by my 40th birthday, which is in May this year. To cut a long story short, in October I had a really bad cold which hung around for 2 weeks, which completely put me off the shakes and the soups, I just couldn't stomach them.
I had gone to Management for a couple of meetings, but I wasn't really getting the support I felt I needed, I think the option of eating again sent me a bit mad, to be honest, I was like a child in a sweet shop, so I went a bit mad with food.
I joined WW, and didn't go too mad over xmas, no big tins of sweets in our house, well, not till my father in law turned up with one! But they have gone in the bin!
On 3rd January, I lost my mum very suddenly, a huge shock to the system, I had to go up North to sort everything out, on top of that, my mum was my step dads main carer, so had to try and sort him out as well.
I had come home, and was home for 3 days when my step dad was taken into hospital, he's still there now, not sure what is wrong with him, and trying to find out info and a care package when you are 6 hours drive away is not easy!
So, upshot is, I've put a stone on and am now 13 stone. Not happy with that! When I was at the funeral, a lot of my mums friends said that she had shown them pics of my weightloss, and that she was very proud, so why have I self sabotaged and eaten every piece of junk that I can get my hands on? Stuff I don't even really like!!
Plus, talking to my natural father, he said, "Oh well, you've sold all your fat clothes too soon, you'll be back in them before you know it" (they all went on Ebay). Thanks dad!
So, today is day 1 again, had one soup and loads of water, I had a weeks worth of packs in the cupboard, so going to have them and ring my counsellor next week.
I WILL DO THIS, I will be 11 stone for my birthday, and I want to raise a glass to my mum on 8th May, and say, "Here you go mum, I did this for you, I hope you can see me".
But guys, I'll probably need your support, last time round it was really easy, but this time, I think it's going to be a struggle. A couple of friends have said that this might not be a good time to do it, but I'm an "all or nothing" sort of person, I don't think I can trust myself around food at the moment, so I think abstinence is a good idea just now.
Thanks for listening xxx
