Hi everyone,
I have been on LT for 2 weeks tomorrow. Lost 9.5 pounds in the first week and suspect my weighin tomorrow will show another 4-5 pound loss. My husband and workmates are very supportive. All in all, it has been going very well for me, though I have had the expected ups and downs. Haven't cheated once though, so I am very proud of myself.
So why am I considering changing? I'm worried that I will find it harder and harder to stick it long term, as I have basically become a hermit in the last 2 weeks and can't accept social opportunities, as they almost all involve food. I miss my husband, as he now goes into the study for dinner and I go do something else to avoid temptation. I'm hungry the last several days, despite drinking loads of water. Don't get me wrong. I am EXTREMELY committed to losing weight and if this is the only way to do it, I just WILL! I am positive that I am in the right frame of mind for losing weight. I'm just wondering if I have chosen the method that is right for me.
Does anyone have any opinions or has anyone tried switching to Atkins? I'm just thinking, as it is also a ketosis diet, it might be a logical transistion. However, I don't want to drastically slow my weight loss down, so if it is a lot slower, I'll just have to get used being a hermit. LOL
Thanks for your help,
Jo
