Hi everyone. These forums have been an amazing support to me this last 6 months during a very exciting and scary journey for me. I was wondering since that's the case whether you guys can offer me some support.
Well...having read Bex and BL's recent postings about going into RTM I started to think a little bit more seriously than before. Bex highlighted something that I think is quite important to me (as I think I'm trying to ignoring it - I should know better really). I am also starting to suffer dizzy spells, headaches a bit more often than I would like and I am a bit anxious I'm going to faint. My blood pressure has been a bit erratic this last week or so (we've been practicing at nurse school a few times a day for an upcoming exam!) and I am thinking I need to listen to my body too. But...at the same time I only have 7.5lbs to lose. I know in reality I can lose that in RTM but I don't want to rely on that, yet at the same time it's a much more managable weight loss to combat on my own rather than the 5 stone I originally started with! Do you see this torn decision I have...also I am so scared as I tried RTM before and I did gain (admittedly I was on holiday and did lose it a bit towards the end but being away from the group at such a vulnerable time was also difficult). Anyway. I'm leaving in about 30 mins for my meeting and would welcome any thoughts if anyone is out there. My BMI is 26.5. Thanks guys xx
