Hi to all the LighterLife people,
I am new to the blogs and am hoping that on my journey on LighterLife I will gain support and help as many others seem to have done. I completed Lighterlife with my husband last winter and between us we lost 13stone!! He lost 8 and I lost 5. He reached his target on Christmas eve, I, however, had a further 2 stone to go.
Instead of sticking at it, i thought I could manage on my own as I had spare packs in the house. However, it wasnt long before I fell into my old habits again and low and behold here I am with 3 stone back on and feeling completely and utterly devastated. Although people still comment on my weight loss and how "well" I look, I am so unhappy within myself to the point where I dont want to look in the mirror anymore because Im so unhappy with what I see.
My size 12-14 clothes no longer fit and I am pushing my way into size 18's again. It is the worst possible feeling in the world. I have enough packs in my home to last me 9 weeks of abstinance and I know with every ounze of strength I have I could be on LL and shedding the pounds so easily. But I have tried 3 times and cant seem to get past day 4.
I often look at photos of myself at my husbands friends wedding back in March past and I love how I look.Healthy, happy and a size 14. Now im depressed fed up and feel like a huge size 18! Is there anyone here who can offer some support and help as I try to tackle LL once again????
My brother gets married next summer and I intend to do bridesmaid for him and his fiance, although I refuse to do it if I am still this size. I know his wedding should be my inspiration but I feel I need to do this for myself and no one else.
Anyone with any advice or help please post me back as I would really appreciate it. Many thanks
