Hi guys
Im wondering if you can help. I have been on LT since March and have lost nearly 5 stone so far. I am 16st 4 now and I would love to get down to 10 stone. So the road is still fairly long and stretched out ahead of me.
The problem is I am a primary school teacher in a temporary position in a school. My contract is reviewed on a yearly basis, and at the moment I dont yet know where I stand for next year. There is a possibility for a permanent contract, which I would dearly love.
I have the First Communion class this year and it is a custom of the school for the teachers, principal, trustees and the parish priest to go out for lunch after the communion mass. I dont know what to do! It would look v bad for me not to go to the lunch, but I dont want to draw undue attention to myself in front of what amounts to my prospective interview panel for the permanent job.
The principal knows I am doing LT, but I dont know if she would appreciate me drawing attention to myself trying to make a shake in the restaurant, or eat anything that is not purchased in the restaurant. Do you think it would be very bad to eat plain chicken breast? I cheated once on this diet and the feeling of depression and failure I got was soul destroying. On the other hand I want to look at the big picture and I know I will stick this to the end and reach my goal. I just dont want to scupper myself so early on!! Sorry for the novel of a post, and sorry im so indecisive!!
Any input appreciated!
Well done to everyone on LT - you are all doing so well! Keep up the great work!
