Hi, I haven't posted on here much but I have been 'lurking' on the forum since I started LL in January and I've been overwhelmed by how much everyone has helped each other out on here.
I have a bit of a dilemma on my hands at the moment and having spoken to my family, who are quite non-committal in helping me make my decision, I thought I'd ask the LL experts
So I'm 22, started at 16stone and lost 57 lbs over 11 weeks. I'm fairly happy with my size at the moment (probably a 14), but I'm aware that I could do with losing about a stone more. I have two weeks left officially on abstinence and I'm not even considering Developers as I know I don't want to continue much longer like this. Everything has been going pretty well over the past 3 months other than
the usual bowel and 'movement' problems, which I'm hoping are under control now.
But, the past 4 or 5 days I've been feeling increasingly faint and close to blacking out when I move (I was advised to move slower to counteract this but can't seem to get a grip on that!). I've had the worst headaches (and I have a history of headaches so they're usually a routine part of life), needed to sleep more and more and just generally felt like crap- something close to 'fluey' is the only way I can describe it. Now, I've been deliberating all night, should I just go on RTM this week, be happy with the pounds that I have lost rather than worry about those I haven't lost. Or am I just grasping at straws to put an end to the 'starvation' period?
Gone through the book and the parent- adult-child stuff, and I'm pretty sure that I'm approaching this in a rational way. But maybe another person's perspective would see this differently!
So basically what I'm asking is...do I perservere with feeling ill for another two weeks and maybe lose half a stone or cut my losses and head for the next stage?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance
