Plus, we have probably ALL lost a stone or two now and again. ANd then we got bored. And demotivated. And losing a stone over weeks and weeks didn't really change the way we felt physicially or mentally....right?
Well, when you lose several stone - and you get to goal - you feel - AMAZING. Like a different person. I promise you. I have NEVER known what it felt like to sit without my tummy on my lap, to run up a couple flights of stairs and not be breathless, to spring out of the bathtub - all these things - I never knew what that was like until now - and it feels SO GOOD, physicially - there is NO WAY I would ever put the weight back on. No WAY. You will see what I mean as you go along Lynn and when you get to goal, and you will, you will never ever want to go back.
I made a vow when I started LL. ALl my life I had prayed for a "magic pill". I had all but given up when I found out about Lighter Life. And during the weeks I thought about whether or not I could commit to the program, as soon as I decided I could I vowed to treat LL and the weight loss as a GIFT. Something precious and valuable - and like all wonderful gifts I am given, I cherish and care for them.
The weight loss is a gift. It is the best gift I could ever EVER have been given. It is a most valuable thing. And I will never take it for granted.
ANd I still feel like that. Start now with these kind of committments, and tell youself often of them, and they begin to stick like glue.
Putting weight back on after a 1 or 2 stone loss never seemed a big deal - it was just more of the same.
Putting weight back on after a 9 stone loss - well I would just be stupid to do that. This was my ticket - my one chance - and I will never have to do it again.
I'm so ecited for you girls - you just have no idea how MARVELOUS you are going to feel.
I am excited for you!!
