Hey all!
I've already got a blog for my weight loss, but I thought it might be good to have a diary here too so I can share my experiences with people who have been through the same thing I'm going through!
Let me start with my story: I'm 23 and have been overweight since I was about six. Over my life I've done every diet going, from basic calorie counting to Atkins to Weight Watchers with little to no success for the most part. I've exercised myself into a coma and still never been able to make a significant difference to my weight, however...
I DID lose a significant amount of weight between early 2007 and summer 2008 which pushed me down from 19st to 13st. I did this under pressure from my partner at the time and when I put a stone back on when we moved in together (due to eating the same portion sizes, stupidly) he started to bully me about it and I comfort ate myself back up to just shy of 17st!
However, suddenly I lost 13st... by which I mean my ex-partner! So now I'm single and I'm doing LLT for me just so I feel good about myself and have better health. I'm determined to lose the weight and lose it forever now!
I decided LLT was the best way to do this after researching all the different diets out there. I know what a lot of my food issues are already and have been battling to get a handle on them, but there's a few I feel I need help to "unlock" and defeat for good. I'm hoping a combination of the counselling and abstinence from food will help me do this!
So through a combination of LLT and a heap-load of exercise I'm hoping to shift a total of 90lbs off of my original weight. I'll be in week 2 of LL as of tomorrow evening, so I've lost 7lbs already (though hopefully another 7lbs at WI tomorrow)! I want to lose at least 70lbs of my total weight goal by Christmas day, which should be doable according to LL's "1 stone a month" guideline, so fingers crossed!
I look forward to sharing my journey with you and being part of your own LL weight loss stories!
