Love God; Love People
I felt really indignant that the LT website DVD/ video dared suggest that I was a food addict. It sounded so harsh and cruel! Now after having been on LT TFR for 11 weeks and maintenance for 3 weeks, I have to humbly admit that I can see the sense in using that term -despite it sounding so harsh.
I now really do appreciate that TFR is what it is -i.e no food allowed. I think that is what makes it so successful. On maintenance there is room to negotiate, and IT IS tricky doing that. My OH was surprised when I said I still get tempted sometimes to eat the wrong things.
Anyway, just wanted to let those of us still on TFR know that it is a phase to be appreciated for what it is, giving the gut a good rest, letting the stomach shrink, and the tastebuds become more sensitive. Wherever you are on your LT journey, be encouraged!
