hey clare
congratulations on your staggering weightloss - you look so stunning in your pics!! just like you've been a skinny all your life!!!
I've just finished LL management - i found it easy to start with cos i hated food with a passion - really seen it as the enemy - BUT i know love the god damn stuff again and have had a few scary binges.
Everyone says management is hard - to be honest i got halfway through and thought I'd cracked it - what mistaka to maka!!! I am now half a stone heavier than my target and have gone back to 3 LL food packs with a 600 cal meal in the evening (i need some structure in my diet!).
I don't wanna come across as negative honey, cos i think the diet is AMAZING and i love it!! But i just wanna tell you that it's harder than you think.... and stay focused!
I still have major issues with food, i will always have major issues with food but it's how we control them on a day to day basis that counts - i'm going to docs on monday to see if she can help me with the binging (didn't binge before the diet!) - I'll keep u posted!!
Good luck sweetie

Hi Karen,
I know that I have used food as comfort especially since my mother died...as my mother showed her love with food. She performed the miracle of the loaves and fishes so many times when visitors arrived unexpectedly.
Cleaning my plate = she loved me...it was her way and coming from a back ground were she herself had seen hungry days I can see where she was coming from.
Her definition of being a good mother was food on the table and a big fire on to welcome one and all.
Even when I was not feeling very well the other week and feeling sorry for myself I had to make stewed apples and custard and somehow it actually tasted as good as hers!
Sent some out to the Father in law and he thoroughly enjoyed it with a slice of ice cream on top for good measure.
I did go over board a few times since coming off SSing, but I blamed myself for not refeeding properly. Had a couple of blow outs, but nothing too major, but then perhaps that is relative to how each of us sees it?
I was watching the documentary about the 28 stone teenager and I felt very sad for now I know 'Fat happens', mind you he now looked so well and I wonder how he is today as it looked like that programme could of been a few years old, going by the hair cuts?
Let us know how you get on next week.
Love Mini xxx
