Day 2 - It has been 6 years since I lost 7 stone on this diet and I was SO focused then. I think I had two planned breaks in the whole 10 months it took me to lose the weight and even then I couldn't wait to get back "on the packs" and lose, lose, lose. I loved the freedom of not thinking about food for me and I cooked and baked all the way through the diet without a problem, in fact I became a bit of a feeder. It was so liberating and I really, really thought it was the end of my bad relationship with food. I fell pregnant (planned) in 2006 and that is where I started to lose focus. I did eat really well and healthily all through my pregnancy, no junk food, alcohol etc. However I didn't monitor quantity and by the time Lois was born I was size 18 again. Since then I have not stopped eating and binging and have ended up at 17st 8 pound, 6 pound more than when I started LT all those years ago. I have re-started countless times in this period and crashed and burned spectacularly after a few days, sometimes a few hours. I just can't get my head straight and wonder why I was so driven the first time and how can I get that back, it was almost easy the first time! Now SUCH a struggle. Last time I used to read/posts on another forum (discovery health?)which I can't seem to find now and I am hoping if I write this down in black and white I will find focus and inspiration from others.
Already after reading this post back I realise maybe I am too hung up on my past success and need to just focus on the here and now, so helping me already
Here is hoping I will be posting again soon and not just a one thread type of girl,fingers crossed for me.
