Saffrons, I was a big foodie when I started LT. So much so that I dismissed the diet last year thinking I wouldn't be able to stick to it and again earlier this year. Now I wish I'd bitten the bullet back then coz I'd be sure to be a target by now.
There is a reason we need to diet. We are unhealthy and eat too much. When I started I was morbidly obese, oh the shame of it, I wouldn't tell my OH coz I didn't want him to be disgusted by me.
The first week I could have eaten the carpet I was so hungry. I hadn't found this site then but had a really good friend supporting me who encouraged me and was at the end of the phone day or night.
I've been on LT for 14 weeks now and can honestly say I have never cheated. Today I made brownies with my daughter and in the past probably would have eaten a fair few. Not tempted at all! I do crave food but my biggest cravings are for salmon, red pepper, tomatoes and strawberries. Never thought I'd say that before!
The first week is the toughest and many fall at the wayside then BUT, if you stick to it, your first WI will have you dancing around the chemists.
You can do it. You will need all your willpower the first week. Keep yourself occupied.
Someone once said on here that nothing tastes as good as being slim feels. I have adopted it and have it printed on a sheet in my kitchen.
I am now just 11lb off being just overweight and the buzz is just amazing!
Good luck hun. We are here if you need us so use us as often as you need to.
Big Cuddles from me.
