Day 23 and still hanging on in there - official weigh tomorrow, but by home scales, it is 1stone 3lbs off. Fab.
Had a very interesting call with a (male) friend last night, he's coming over this weekend so I told him that I was on LL again, and his reply was "what makes you think it'll stay off this time when it didn't all before?". Hmmmm. He is a very 'black and white' person, very factual. I was flummoxed as to what to reply, and just said that I'd do mgmt properly, I wasn't sure how long I was going to stay on it, could be a couple more weeks or months and I was taking it as it comes.
But he was right, what does make me think I'll keep it all off this time? Have I thought ahead to what I'll do differently? There is no change in any of my personal circumstances this time when I finish to last time so why would I not go back to old ways. I think I just realise how precious being slim(mer) is to me, and how depressed I got when I got bigger again - I have all my gorgeous clothes ready and waiting for me to get back into, which is also a huge driver.
So I'm glad he said this, it has given me a shock and more time to think about how I'm going to behave differently when I get to where I want to be. Can't remember the statistic, but isn't it about 95% of people who lose weight put it all or some of it back on in the first 2 or 3 years???
Also, one of my drivers for losing this weight is that he and I are off to San Francisco in November for a holiday... maybe every girl should have such a straight talking friend! No-one else has EVER said anything like that to me before, bit of a wake-up!
Happy (WET AND GREY) Friday everyone!
