Playing the Angel
Something I have been pondering and hoping for some sound advice from those that have already done or are in RTM. Originally when I started LL I set a goal weight, which I am now below - just, then I re set it 5kg lower which I am well on my way to, then re set it again for another 2kg under that to give me a few kg to keep as my "breathing space." I had always planned to have at least start my first week of RTM whilst on holiday on the 11th September. I chatted with LLC tonight and said that I thought I would like to start RTM approx 9 September. I should manage to loose the last 5.5kg between now and then. He said that if I wanted to that was fine, but if I felt I did still have a little more to loose that I should rather stick with it. I have been thinking over the last few days now that RTM is getting closer for me, that perhaps I would like to go a little lower again still. Or perhaps I am just enjoying the safety of abstinence?? The part of me that had a bit of an eating disorder in my youth worries me, where I think well, if I set another lower goal, then I might just do it again after that and when will I be satisfied with my loss - let's face it this is an easy way to loose weight fast when you are used to abstinence. I still really want to bet rid of my belly, which is still a little to "there" for my liking. I also realise that I was succesful in abstinence in Paris for 10 days, and whilst visiting my parents previously and over other occasions like birthdays etc. I know my parents would not mind if I was abstinent while on holiday... so the question (and forgive all this long rambling) how did you know you were in the right place to start RTM?
