LL May Starters

Hi Ladies ... just checking in. Glad to read you both and loving how you both look. Jez I've dipped into your RTM thread and I'm eager to read more.
I am so tired! Feel like having a nap, but would feel guilty. Build is trundling along ... won't be back in until mid-Dec, hopefully giving us enough time to be comfy and sorted for Xmas.
My BMI is now 30.6, sometimes if felt like this day would never come. It's lovely that being 'overweight' rather than 'obese' is just within reach. Hoping to get there by end Oct.
I bumped into a friend the other day, one I hadn't seen for over a year. Her reaction was the first negative one I've had to the concept of LL. She was amazed and pleased for me that I'd lost weight, but said that LL was brainwashing me and she doesn't believe in all that psychology stuff. She said that I am sensible enough to know what to eat and do to lose weight. I said that if it were so simple I would never have been overweight in the first place and would have been able to lose it long ago during my previous self inflicted diets! She said I shouldn't lose any more weight.
I would think that in the face of seeing my results so far she would be more open-minded. I suddenly realised that she has much less wisdom and insight than I had previously thought.
Another acquaintance said I shouldn't lose any more weight, she was trying to be nice and said that I looked really good, but I told her that if I had started the diet at my current size, she would have thought that any weight I lost was amazing ... it's because the contrast between my original weight and current weight seems so drastic that it takes a while to get used to. She did agree that that was probably true. When I tell people I'm still obese they are amazed!
All of these experiences reinforce my pleasure in my weight loss so far and do not discourage me in the slightest. I think if people don't get it, it's about them, not me.
Mmmm, porridge time ...

Brilliant Kat, so pleased for you and Jez I am so impressed by your progress in RTM. You've particularly inspired me to make sure I eat regularly and also to practice eating slowly, even now, while I'm still abstinent. I think I need to really start putting these into practice to improve my chances of maintaining later on. I now nibble my bar at the end of the day and make sure there's a gap between my evening soup and bar. My bar feels like a treat which for me is psychologically dangerous, so it would be better for me to feel I am in control, rather than feeling this huge desire to have it for pleasure. I hope I'm making sense.
I'm using a dongle to connect to the internet, and although it's broadband, you have to compete with mobile phone users, so the speed can be slow during high traffic periods, which is why I'm not on as often. Soon I will be the only 'Maybelle' left! I think I'll be abstaining into next year.

My bars also always felt very treaty to me, so I did make a huge point of nibbling away at them or I knew I would have gobbled them down in a few minutes.

Hey, you guys beat me to it - damned dongle!
I tell you what, seeing you all progress to the next stages just makes me feel like it's in reach! It's all good.
Nearly at overweight, but of course progressing in my usual way ... slowly.
Hopefully next week I'll be there!
*Off to read Jezebella's journal and Kats threads*
