A little of everything!
Well, I did it- 3lbs off this week D), and got speaking to the lovely pharmacist who was off last week. She was thrilled for me, until I mentioned that this was going to be my last week on TFR, that I was going to re-feed next week. She was like 'WHY?!? You're so close to goal, why would you give up now??' and gave me a mini-lecture (nicely!) on how everyone was different, and I shouldn't judge my losses against everyone elses. No two people's metabolism are the same, heavier people will lose quicker, medical conditions (like mine) will mean it will always be tough to lose, but I'm getting there so why give up?
Talk about a wake-up?! I was gobsmacked- she was really positive and encouraged me to stick at it for a few more weeks because I was 'so close' to goal. She said at the training night last week (proof they get regular 'updated' checks!) they were to encourage LT-ers to get to their goal, re-feed for a week, then maintain for 3wks (within 1-2lbs)- with weekly WI's so that its 'proved' to us that we can keep the weight off even when we eat. She told me that so many times they don't see people ever again after 1 weeks re-feed, and they're back in a few months looking to go back on it!
So now I don't know what to do. She has me all fired up to stick at it for the last 10lbs, but I've promised my hubby to go for a meal with friends in a week or two? He's been so good & supportive I'll feel like I'm letting him down big time if I renege on my promise? We haven't been out together in over 3mths, and I promised him I'd be done with TFR by now- and I would've been if my losses had've been like everyone elses? Still, it wasn't to be.:sigh:
What if I stick at TFR, and just go for the one meal? It couldn't do that much harm surely if I'm sensible and avoid alcohol?
I definately want to be done with TFR by the end of July- theres a big local carnival weekend on and I'm really looking forward to letting my hair down and having a few drinks and stunning everyone with my new figure?! LOL! Hmm....
