Well I went into Management last week with my counsellor knowing that I still wanted to lose another stone or so during that period. She DID tell me that it's not what that part of the programme is designed for, but some people do it and it works out fine etc, and she could appreciate that my motivation for staying on abstinence 100% was gone. So all was well and good.
Went for my first weigh in of Management last night, and I'd lost 2lbs (normally lose 3.7-4.4)... I was a bit disappointed since I'd been pretty damned careful about portion sizes etc, but my counsellor was disappointed that I'd actually LOST. She said obviously portion sizes were too small since I'd lost a bit... completely ignoring the conversation we'd had when I started.
She reiterated in the group that this wasnt for losing weight, and if we wanted to do that we'd be better off going through Management and then doing a refresher block of 4 weeks or so to get rid of the rest of the weight.
I'm SO annoyed... and now either have to keep doing it my way and lie to her (which she'll see through - I can't say I'm upping my food intake and be losing more weight), or I tell her that I want to take a break from LL for a few weeks - eat through my leftover foodpacks with a bit of added protein now and again and then start Management at week 3 in a month's time.
AGH, just wanted to vent - it's infuriating how she's changed her tune now, especially after I've paid my deposit. She's been great up until this point, but grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
