Hi girls and guys,
Just wondering what was the final straw that made you all decide to do a VLCD and shift the weight.
I'll start with mine.
We went on holiday to Sicily in September. We were staying with friends who live there and each evening went out to sit in the local cafe to eat/drink/watch the world go by. On the first evening I sat on a plastic chair and next thing there was a huge noise and the chair crashed to the floor taking me with it.
I picked myself up quickly and could see loads of people laughing at other tables. My 2 year old was crying and saying "mummy fall down".
I was mortified. The owner came out and said sorry the sun dries out the chairs and they crack. He then went in the back and brought out this huge antique wooden chair like a throne. It took two of them to carry it out. With much hand gesturing he told me sit on it and that it would not break. God I was cringing.I took my 2 year old off for a walk just to get away from there.
For the whole holiday I was scared to sit down on those bloody plastic chairs which were everywhere.
I can laugh at it now but I will never forget how bad I felt. It took me another three months to get my head into gear to do this diet.
