Hi all
Wow, I can't believe I'm here posting this on Day 10 of LT and have been positively saintly hehe It really has been a breeze so far and haven't been plagued with any horrible headaches or lethargy or hunger pangs. Maybe it's just sheer determination and mind over matter, who knows, whatever it is I hope it continues for as long as possible =D
OH was out for an Italian meal last night with his work, came home reeking of garlic and going on about what they'd all ordered and how yummy it was. Normally I'd be drooling and heading straight for the fridge but actually, for the first time ever, I have to say I didn't have a physiological response... no drooling!! This is definitely an achievement, and a good sign as I see it and that definitely gave me a boost.
What gave me a bigger boost however was finding out last night that I had only regained back 5.5lbs from when I stopped SW in July to go into hospital for surgery, I had thought I'd gained back a stone and was feeling down about that at the time but yesterday I had a quick peek in the SW book and right enough, I only weighed in 5.5lbs heavier when I started LT \o/ So I wasn't THAT much of a piggy during recovery after all haha
Then, after I discovered that I realised that although I've lost 9.6lbs on LT, I've actually lost 20.2lbs altogether since my heaviest when I joined SW back in June. Wow, 20lbs!!! Hmm.. think I might rejig my stats and targets a bit, or is that cheating? hehe Ok, I shall rejig my ticker and leave the other bits to reflect LT, I think that'll give me the best of both. Don't want to do myself a discredit by ignoring the weight I already lost so far, it's definitely worthy of noting, if only purely for my own psychological purposes lol
Off to the pharmacy tomorrow for the official weigh in. Going to ask them if they have the beakers since I've been using a hand blender to make my shakes and soup and it's just a pain in the butt hassle really. Also, here's hoping that the assistant is a little more friendly and helpful else I may well be transferring to the other one and become their first LT customer!
Good luck everyone and thanks for your continued support, it's definitely helping me stay focused and determined ^.^
