Hello everyone, hope all is well.
I've now been on LL since the 10th Feb and as of weigh in last Friday I've lost 5 stone all but a pound, I feel bloody fantastic, so many little things, the positive comments, my clothes feeling baggier by the day, wearing a belt for the first time in years, pain that I had in my heels has demonstrably improved, being able to shop in "normal" shops again and not have to pay extortionate prices for clothes, being able to sit next to people on the bus and not feel embarrassed that maybe you're encroaching on their space, not sweating incessantly anymore....the list goes on, it's all good.
I'll be straight - I haven't abstained for the entire period, I've had planned lapses, if you can call it that but the main thing is for me is that I've always been in control, I've been back on the diet straight afterwards and the important thing is that I've continued to head in the right direction. Downwards. My confidence has positively soared along with my self-esteem and as a result my self-worth has increased too.
It's great feeling this way and I hope it continues, the people on here continue to be an inspiration for me and it just goes to show what you can achieve if you really want to change for the better.
Thanks LL, you've given me my life back.
Cheers,
Mark.
