Well done on coming up to the end of foundation and loosing 52lbs. That truly is fantastic in such short time.
I am only now going in to week 8 and I can say I have these thouhgts like I am not even half way....but then again I think jeeez I have lost nearly 2.5 stone in that time I am half way there.
Another 6 weeks, of course you have it in you, think about why you started and what your targets where when you started. Remember the enthusiasm you had and what you dreamed you would do, well surely those dreams are coming true. I can not believe how everything I had hoped for is coming true there or there abouts and I want it to continue....surely you are the same.
Think how you will feel in 6 weeks. Just another 1.5 stone....the biggy will be also that once that is gone, all this hard work, or the pain and heartache will be gone and you will tell yourself you never want to do this again and you will not slip in to your old routine, because that would mean having to think about weight and diets again, and how much those 20 odd weeks in 2010 were a complete waste of time.
Surely you are doing LL for yourself and to become healthier. Surely you feel better and look better. What is another few weeks.
You have done fantastically well, and I am sure there are lots of wannebe Lighterlifers lurking around theses forums gauging whether they should do it or not, and I bet some will be thinking "wow I can not believe fq1 has lost 52lbs in foundation. I could never do that". You must have been inspired to do lighterlife and you are now inspiring others.
I had a weak feeling last night when my other half asked me to pop out at HT during the football to get her a burger king, I thought sod I will to, especially as we had a BOGOF voucher....I didnt because I am so pleased at how well I have done over these few weeks, and how when I would come on this board this morning and see people like you who through LL have lost soooooooooooooo much weight and done soooooo very well, that I could emmulate and do the same. You inspire me to make it for another few weeks to be where you are.
I know you will think "what does he know its a novelty and he's still enthusiastic, he'll feel like this soon". possibly, but I will look at my posts on here look at my weight loss diet and the spreadsheets I have made myself and think of all the success others have had that I read about on here, and how it will all be worth it.
Also on a practical hard nosed side. You have probably spent nearly a grand on this so far....surely you wouldnt want to think that was a waste
Dont give in. You can do it. You will regret it if you do quit, but more over you will not get to fell the joy of achievement and being happy with yourself and your weight.
Thank you for coming on here and giving me another success story. 52lbs in 13 weeks.....OMG that is fantastic over 3.5 stone, you must look and feel so much better and happier with yourself...not long.
Milk week I have heard can be demoralising, but its one week. If you average your losses over the entire time you have done LL, you should be amazed by the losses. No other weight management programme could do this. I bet people on slimming world and weight watchers would kill for the losses we get.
wonderful work to date, keep it up and keep posting.
congratulations on your fabulous achievement!!
