a new way of living!
Hello all,
familiar story coming!
Got weighed today and only lost 2lbs in two weeks anyway I told chemist I had been struggling and was consider losing the rest on maintainance, and he said that I can start maintaince anytime I like, as my bmi is healthy already....
I said 'erm... no its not for 5'2" i need to be 9st 10lbs, I was 10st 2lbs today on (his scales, 10st 1lbs on mine yesterday) so that is another 6 lbs...
he said - I have you as 5'4" on here - waving form... to which i replied, 'i checked it at home and i am 5'2"...'
so he checked it again, and it came up (according to his thingy) 160cms... (which is actually 5'3"!!) well i checked again at home with keith helping, and it was out a bit, I am 158.5cms which makes me 5' 2.25" (wow quarter inch!) we used two tape measures so it must be right, and i have to say i didn't feel the chemist touching my head when he measured me!!
so, then i said well anyway, i need to lose another 1.5 stone - to get to my target, my pre agreed target... and he said 'ooh no thats way to low' your bmi would be 21.1 and you would look ill, and waffle waffle waffle...
then i said, so what would happen on maintenance with my losses, if i stuck to 2 shakes and one meal a day, and he said it would not change as i couldn't possible lose any less than i am now! gee make a girl feel good why dont you!!
I have been thinking about trying the cd810 for a week or so now, and moving up the plans at refeed to get used to eating again, rather than going from nothing to pretty much most things in the space of a week.
As their weight targets for my height are lower at the lower end (min i think is just over 7stone! which i feel would be too low for me) then 8st 7lbs is a nice target and not one to be discouraged i hope.
the last thing any of us need when we get close to target, is some monkey discouraging our efforts during this final push!
I have loved the results of LT from the start, but during my final few laps I really will need support to not just settle for a half stone heavier and dress size larger. I think its important to reach something that seemed so elusive in the start, for the mental amazement of doing it as well as the physical changes, if i then settle and maintain a few pounds heavier later, then at least i touched that dream, and if i prefer, can again.
I am scared of getting there and being that dream weight, like it is unreal, not doing it is like the devil on your shoulder saying 'you cant do it' winning. i'm not going to let him win!
so i pretty much think i have made my mind up to switch, not just for the 'i need to start eating soon' torment i have been going through, but also for the support in reaching my final goal, rather than the chemists final goal he has for me!
grrrrrr..... sorry for the rant
on another note, a nicer one, i went to bicester outlet shopping village today, and bought a dress, jumper and a wooly fur lined zip up jacket jumper thingy that is just totally lush!!! bought one a bit tight so it wont hang off me in 1.5st less time!
feel guilty about the moneu spent though supposed to be cutting back for house move etc...
