Here I go again with another thread that will probably cause some agro/heated debates ... just wondering;
Whats all of yous 'excuses' for having a day/week off LT?
I just cant seem to get my head around some reasons. Ok for a holiday that has already been booked - fair point but other reasons ....:hmm:
Maybe this will turn into an inspiration thread to stop you taking just one day off etc cuz really, you dont need to but thats my personal opinion .... so: yap away!
I remeber a while ago you posted a thread similar to this.....and I just dont get why.
I have been on LT, this being my 3rd time, I lost 5 1/2 stonne in the first stint of 9 weeks and 3 stonne in 4 weeks last time, now I have been back on it a week.
Its great that some people can stay on LT for months and months and months, its sad that some people cannot stay on it for even the first week.
I am sorry if this sounds harsh, but by 'having excuses' and 'taking breaks' it makes it sound like you are calling us who do this weak!!
I came off it the first time as it was my baby brothers 18th party and close to Christmas, I decided that as he was the baby of our family and I wanted to have a drink and have some fun. As for Christmas, its Christmas a family time, that food is a major part of, Christmas occurs once a year, I decided that I had all year to diet. In saying that I ate healthy and when I rejoined LT in Feburary I had not put on that much weight! I stayed of LT until Feburary as we had a few family functions.
I came off it after the second time for 4 weeks, because I struggled on it severely. Plus may I also add first and second time on LT I have taken a rash on my neck that neither feels great nor looks great, which made me feel very low, ontop of how else I was feeling.
I am now back on LT and will be until May 8th. I will be coming off it as its a time of year where my OH (who is also on LT) has his yearly boys weekend away and its my birthday. Now I believe you will understand him wanting to be off it for his boys weekend, but yet may question why my birthday?? Well I unlike the queen only have one birthday a year, and on birthdays we go out as a family for a meal and then on out for a nights fun and craic!
I have a hell of a lot of weight to loose, and I will get there, slow and steady!
Just another point, if you are obese, its more than likely that you have an 'eating disorder' and being on LT helps you loose the weight, it doesnt help the mindset problem. Having breaks in between and training yourself slowly on your eating patterns and teaching yourself new ways of eating helps with this.
In our home LT costs the two of us £102 per week, we are happy to pay this, but this is our money and if we chose to have a break then I dont see why we should have to justify this, I understand that I didnt have to reply to this thread, but chose to, but I thought I would include this!
We let our hair down by having a meal with friends and family, trips to the beach, weekends away, having a drink, having a dance, shopping, and while on LT its not as much fun doing this. We work too hard not to let our hair down!
No offence is intended to anyone, but this whole topic irks me!!
