HI everyone, I've been away on a hen weekend the last 2 days.
And I'm so proud of my achievements overall - and just wanted to share this especially with those starting out who have a long journey ahead.
As you can see from my sig/tracker I've been on LT a fair while now, but still have a bit of the journey left. I've lost more than I ever thought possible and have lost almost 4 dress sizes. This weekend I wore 2 beautiful dresses which I may not get chance to wear again as they'll be too big soon!
But I saw people I'd not seen in months who have been gobsmacked by the difference in me. I've had compliments from people I've never met about how wonderful my willpower must be and how impressed they are with my results and dedication.
But. Yesterday was SOOOOOOOOOOO hard! Don't get me wrong, never once did I even attempt to cheat but when we went to Claridges (a Michelin starred Gordon Ramsay restaurant, no less!) I did wish i was not on LT! It. was. amazing. Everyone said it's the best meal they've ever eaten. The service was perfect, the maitre D' was wonderful, we even got taken into the kitchen for a quick tour.
I just can't wait to go back when I can eat there!
But, what I'm trying to say is - in a very rambling way - the food will always be there. The time spent with friends and family is not something you can take for granted as much... I had a lovely time, I still felt special with my silver coffee pot and sparkling water being topped up without asking My friend the hen had a wonderful time and said she was so pleased i was there and didn't know how i managed to not eat.
So, everyone, persevere - stay focused, don't be tempted - getting healthy and feeling good about yourself is so much more important and you really can get that feeling on LT.
Have fab weeks and remember to celebrate all your successes, every single ounce lost - every dress size dropped, every time you resist temptation, everything, every compliment.
