Blonde Logic
Yes. You can.
Hi everyone-
I am starting LL in January, and last night I began having worries about failing. Well, not about failing only - but about succeeding, and reaching my slim goal and then putting all the weight back on!!!!
I wonder if getting the weight off so quickly is incentive enough to keep it off at all costs? I know on other plans where the weight come off slowly, I would get about half way to goal, and then slowly the weight would come back on.
I attributed that to the fact that it takes too long to take off as much weight as I have too by "conventional" methods", that "If it took many long months to get half way, its going to be even longer months to reach goal - so give in now" was kind of my attitude I believe. I gave up and gave in.
I am thinking that if the weight comes off this quickly and with this much sacrifice - that I will value it and be less likley to put the weight back on, knowing full well just how hard it was to get off, and how many LONG years it took to get there?
But I am scared. I have failed every other time. I have always put the weight, and more back on. If that happens this time, I am going to be huger then huge.
How do you all cope with it? THose that have reached goal - do you find it easy to maitain, or is the struggle still there. I long to have a natural relationship with food, where I eat to live, not live to eat. I am just so frightened that all past behaviours are ingrained in me permanently.
I shouldn;t doubt. But I do.
SO. How do you do it!!! ANyone else ever feel this way?:sigh:
