Gem I really dont know how I did it. what I have seen with others though is the bigger you are to begin with the more you loose each week at the begining. Also when there are small losses in a row or a gain you get a bigger one the following week when you loose the glycogen. All I did was follow the plan.
Bloody well done you! x

AWOL birthday weekend.
Well my lovelies, back from going AWOL. Birthday weekend and a planned lapse. I have to say for me it was worth it. Part of not having much of a life for the last few years meant that I rarely got my B*side off the couch to go out and socialise. When I did it was often grudgingly and with little enjoyment. So being in better place head wise since starting lighter life, my birthday was a good opportunity to go out and party. I have to say I enjoyed myself immensly, and it did wonders for my mental health lol I do have to wonder was it really a good idea to end up in a club pole dancing! Great fun though, no one knew me so no incriminating photos lol Looked really good in my dress, fitted far better after a 2 stone loss, so felt fab. Still not a small girl by any means but I brush up well for a night out.
It did not however do wonders for my lighter life plan, however I am not too bothered about that and will face the music bravely on Tuesday at weigh in.
Onwards and downwards, back to the dreaded first few days of plan. Ho hum ! :sigh:

First day back on plan today. Had to wait for the worst of the toxins to get out of my system. Black coffee and catching up with the posts on here first thing. Few days off then, so if the dreaded Ketosis struggle is a bit grim can retire to my sofa and read my book.
I do so admire those ladies who have chosen and been able to remain 100%. Not a choice I was planning to make from the outset, as I knew I had many months on lighter life ahead of me. My planned lapses are what keeps my head above water. For me lighter life is a dual pronged program, loosing the weight and getting my life back into some sort of functioning order. A main goal being to surgically remove myself from the house and go out and have fun. Saturday was an important step in that direction as I had organised a 50th birthday bash for one of the girls in work. We had the majority of the team out, and it was a really good team building exercise as well as a great night out. Thankfully they had all left before the pole dancing lol Planned that well
Over the last week or so I have started to feel more myself, the old me before all the stress and malarky. It has been so refreshing. There have been moments when I have actually felt happy lol Put the flags out. It's been a long time since I felt alive and normal in myself, so a positive sign.
The group sessions in lighter life really help put things in perspective, and the support on here from you guys is amazing. I cant thank you all enough for that, it does keep you going and focused. I have no doubt I will be back on plan before the end of the week and racking up the losses again. Failure is not an option.
Watched the documentary on the bariatric ambulance service last night. It was terribly, terribly sad. All my worst fears about being a morbidly obese ill person put into one hour. A wake up call and a half that one. I have no intention of putting myself in that situation as I am aging.
So on that note, another coffee a few more diary entries and off to save the day in work xx

Great attitude hunny, I missed that programme but the girls in class talked about it!!
It's brilliant you are doing the social thing and having fun. That's something I am starting to do more of now I used to make so many excuses up previously but it came down to low self esteem and a limited selection of fat going out clothes. Xx

Great attitude Clara, you are really making this program work for you!!
I caught some of the program and want to watch it all online. Strongly motivating not to go back to our previous ways of eating.
I know what you mean about avoiding going out and limited going out clothes LadyT. I hated going out especially with colleagues. I didn't have anything to wear I didn't wear to work.
Hope getting back into ketosis is a breeze!! xx

Lovely post hun and so glad you enjoyed your birthday. I think when you choose to have food on this plan it can be good for you and teaches you an awful lot. You are so determined, I can tell in your posts. I hope you'll get into keetosis quickly and like you say you can relax and read when you need to.

Ketosis fairy had arrived. Back to feeling better and sanity! Hard work not recommended, but for me the social aspect of last weekend made it worth it for me.
I think I need to do some work on how I socialise. Perhaps it needs to be a little less all or nothing. Hmm interesting. Thoughts on a postcard please x

Hey hun it is possible to socialise and be on LL, granted it isn't easy but doable! I have been out with friends and drank water, actually it's made me realise I don't need to get drunk to enjoy the night and boy do they do stupid stuff sometimes lol which clearly I don't when not drinking! Foodwise I found more challenging and would usually avoid eating out or take a bar with me. I'm on lite now so it's more sociable for me, eating out was more of a deal than alcohol. Xx

Thanks for the post lady t. Something to ponder for sure. I find I'm more in control around food than alcohol. Got to love an addictive personality lol. Going for a coffee with some friends next week and out shopping with another. Cool about that but oh those boozy nights out miss em loads lol
Still it's about what you do 95% of the time that counts so still should have wiggle room post lighter life. Major achievement for me has been not destressing with a bottle of port at home on a Friday after work. Proud of that
