Dilemma...

[Cerulean]

ISOM - wow! your pictures! You've found you!
I started to think like that when the scales didn't budge...but your body does weirrrrd things towards the end - the weight doesn't shift but suddenly without a pound going you can see the fat melting off bits of you that you didn't know fat could melt off! This last few weeks is about tidying up, I think...if you're happy that you're 'tidy' then it is definitely time to stop - for me, the size 8 M&S jeans ticked the 'tidy' box (I don't want to be a size 8 particularly but it was a good sign that I just might be there!) - as does my tailbone hurting when I get into the bath (that's a bit too tidy, but I am assured that I will fill out!)

Those photos are bl**dy brilliant, what a difference - well done! :clap:

Re the stopping abstinence - I really can understand where you are coming from in that you don't want to stop now when you are so close, however, you would continue to lose weight while on Management. From what I've read/heard, people who follow the plan do still lose weight - this may make it worth thinking about startin Management now as you'll continue to lose weight yet your body will (and once your body does your mind will also) feel the benefit of you eating food.

I'd really hate for you to be ill because of what you're doing, this may be your body's way of saying that enough is enough. You've done so amazingly well and I don't like the thought that you're going to look so lovely and yet feel so bad.

Think it over and perhaps discuss it with your friends & family (I'm more than happy to chat anytime you want), see how you feel and then do whatever is best for you.

[In search of me]

Thanks all. I've woken up feeling quit relieved! We're all different I guess and for me loosing my tummy was the main thing but now I will just have to do it on WW! Will do an accelerated management and then on to WW for the last stone and a half/two stone. While it WILL be slower and NOT what I planned I have to accept that my body has had enough & I have said all along that I wouldnt put my health at risk - it's not worth it & is counter productive! Some of course will disagree but I would hope that hose who have got to know me over the months will know that it's certainly not a decision I made lightly! Hopefully now I will be able to do things like excercise that I havent physically been able to do on LL! Migraine alas continues & I'm hoping it will go soon! Off to work & then home via Sainsburies (as a treat!) for FOOD!!! How bizarre!! All feels very odd! Hope you have a ood day at your various stages! Big hugs & thanks for lovely comments! Cerrulean I totaly agree, I HAVE found me & despite this glitch there is no going back! It will be a struggle but I'll get there!
