I Can't Belive I've messed Up...AAARRRGGHHH...!!

Hi all,
Been on LT now for 3 weeks and all was going really well and I've lost a stone... but this weekend I decided it wasn't for me and just used just about every excuse in the book to eat, now Monday has come round again and I'm really dissapionted with myself :sigh:.
I've had LT for my breakfast but don't know if I can just go back on it like this? I'll obviously tell the pharmasist when I get weighed on Wed how silly I've been, but just can't explain what came over me??? Has anyone else had a wobble like this?? I feel like such a failure after being so positive :cry:
 
What made you wobble?
Do you want to continue on LT? Cos if you do then you have to be prepared for the total food replacement...

You can do this - you've done it for 3 weeks. how much have tou lost in total? did you have a less-pleasing weigh in?

something must have triggered you to eat and i think on LT we need to spend time addressing those triggers and learning how to respond to them without eating.

good luck and stay positive - you can get right back on LT 100% and maybe won't have done too much 'damage' to your weigh in this week. but be prepared for bad news.

that said, don't beat yourself up about it too much if you are prepared to get right back on LT 100%. you can still achieve your weight loss goals, after all!! it's a small etback and doesn't have to mean the end of the road.
 
In a word my ever so supportive husband made me cave... I think?? He decided on Friday he was extra hungry and just ate and ate and ate, I think this slightly knocked me, this plus my neighour who I've been doing the LT diet with has been having trouble going to the loo, so went for a colonic (not sure bout spelling) and the nurse told her to come off it otherwise the same thing would keep happening again and again.. and even though this hasn't happened to me I still felt a little uneasy. I think I'm just goint to put it down to a couple of bad days for me nothing more nothing less and just get back on track with it.
I've updated my ticker so you can see my weight loss.
Thanks for your encouragement xx
 
Hi, Don't beat up on yourself, just focus on getting back on the program, you CAN do it. Focus on the positive, you've lost a stone, it was all YOUR hard work. You'll be fine, you now know what a wobble feels like, so in future you will try harder NOT to cave!
 
Aww exac the same happened to me at the weekend, so I understand how you feel. 3 weeks in and I caved in. You just need to decide if you want to carry on or not ? I want to but know I couldn't 100% commit myself to TFR and am pissed at myself over my weakness.

How do you feel about it today ? Carrying on I mean ?
 
Hiya,
I feel positive again about it today, this is the only diet that has worked for me and i had a really pleasing weigh in last week so I'm hoping for the same weight loss again soon... not this week obviously as I've eaten :mad: and I'm also really pissed at myself for being so weak and letting my emotions cloud my judgement, I should of just gone for a walk but instead I had scrambled egg on toast :mad::mad::mad:!!
I can do this... I gave up smoking after 15 years so I CAN and WILL BEAT my cravings x
How are you feeling today you've had fab weight loss too... well done :D xx
 
It might not affect you too much, I had a WW pizza and 8 WW dough balls :mad: and had a mini weigh in today at aerobics and still lost 2lb, but official WI is tomorrow.

You can do this, esp as your in the right frame of mind over it and know you want to continue, 100% good luck to you.

Brilliant news on the smoking also, my mum just gave up after 40 odd years, I admie you guys for doing that.

I am ok but got an operation coming up so might as well re feed now and see how I go on my low fat diet again.

Hang in there, your doing brill :D:D
 
Stay strong, you can do this.

My week 3 was my hardest by far. Just wanted to eat anything and everything. Everywhere I went food seemed to be there and it all looked so good too. I just made sure I had my goal in mind and was so determined to get rid of my excess weight that I didn't give in.

You've given up smoking so this should be a walk in the park. Good luck if you decide to carry on, this is the best diet ever so really give it another go if you are determined.
 
Hi Bev.. thanks I am really determined again and I have my sight set hard on my weekend away with the girls, I do desperatly want to lose the weight for then, I'm hoping to lose 4stone by November; even though I know thats a little too much to ask, but I can dream!! On a serious note though I am really upset that I caved in and with my goal now in sight I can't see me letting it happen again xx :)
 
You can do this. Stay strong, think of all the positives - you've done fab so far, stone and aa half in 3 weeks is brilliant!

You can get over the blips, we all can. Just think what you want more... a slim, healthy body, or some food which may not be doing you that much good (unless you binged on carrots and beans of course, lol!)
 
You could easily lose that 4 stone by then! It's supposed to be a stone a month so you've plenty of time! Also, just remember how you feel now that you gave in, remember that feeling even write it down in a diary and then if you feel like giving in again, read it and remember.

You can do this, I have every faith in you.
 
Hi,
well done for coming back after the blip. You have proved to yourself already that you want this, that it is possible, that you can do it, so best of luck with the restart. As an ex smoker myself I salute you, if we can lick nicotine we can lick sugar (not that I advocate actually licking sugar, if you get my drift !!)
Wishing you all the best.

Hiya dont beat yourself up to much... yes it was wrong and yes you shouldnt have done it... But get back on the wagon and prove to yourself you can do this!!
 
Hi

I too had a bit of a wobble on my third week and there was no reason for it at all. I didnt even have that much, but my weight loss was only 2.2lbs and my wobble was on the Saturday and my Wi on a Thursday....just kinda prepare yourself for a low loss. At least you have picked yourself up. It might just help you to keep more motivated..it did me.

Regarding your friend and this person telling her to come off it and that affecting you, I can understand.

My friend is a cancer specialist and in my first week she basically gave me a right telling off saying this diet was wrong and I should be getting my nutrients from natural sources and not artificial. I went home and told my husband and really was trying to find an excuse to stop and eat. But, in my mind I knew it was me trying to make an excuse. It did upset me and made me cry I was so frustrated. She deflated me!!! She has tried again but I am stronger now and I am my own boss....I know my own body. Sorry, waffling on here....but all I am trying to say is events will make you waiver and think it isnt for you, but if you want quick results this diet is definately for you.

Like the others said, if you can kick smoking then you can more than kick the craving habit! Just glad you have got your motivation back as you have lost so much so far in such a short time and you will get to your goal if you stick to the diet 100%

Hope you have a good week and just keep yourself positive and motivated, but be on your guard for others to try and stop you.

Take good care of yourself
 
yeh like every1 has sed youve done it now put it behind you try not 2 do it agen and good luck
