Well tomorrow is a bit of a milestone. Its one whole year since I began my LL journey, can remember it well, the nervousness and trepidation at beginning 100 days of not eating! Would I be able to stomach the packs, would I like my group, would I be able to stick with it, would I understand the counselling etc.
Anyway loved LL and stuck religiously to the programme for 3 months then messed around in development and have been on and off the programme since July last year, not great but hey-ho at least I haven't given up! I weigh 1.5 stone more than my lowest weight on LL but I'm still 3 stone lighter than I was this time last year so I am looking at the positives..... I also feel that my mind set has changed and lapses no longer turn into collapses, I can reign myself in much quicker and me and my chatterbox are much friendlier these days!!!!
Thought I'd start a diary in the hope that it'll keep me on the straight and narrow and I can finally complete my journey. A note of caution to new LLers, regrets I have a few and the main one is not sticking the LL programme right thru until the end. The odd cheat here and there feels fine at first (nights out, holidays etc) but eventually they catch up and soon the cheats become lapses. Stay strong and keep to it 100% - aim to be one of those people in the LL magazine!! It'll be worth it.
So far I'm 2 days into my restart and feel fab, off to do some exercise.
