Dear (LLL) diary....

[LadyT]

I totally get what you mean about the food addiction. I explain why I am on LL to my friends in just that way, an alcholic has alcohol removed from the equation and has counselling, I have done the same with food for the same reason and it is giving me the time to mend my brain and make the right choices in the future.

I am not a fan of soups, I found myself turning my nose up when I read about the powder lump, cant have been pleasant!

Ive read about food addiction for hours last few days and im with you on this is definetely the way out, i tried for years trying to break my bad habits so hope abstinence and councelling sort it for those that need it, good luck x

Just been to group. I have lost 3.5lbs! I am not sure why but I felt a bit flat. When I was doing other diets in the past I would have been thrilled. I should be thrilled. 8.5lbs in 2 weeks, not bad eh?

 

[LadyT]

Hi, I have been having those feelings, but coming on here gave me the kick up the butt I needed. LOL

Well done on your loss and yes 8.5 in two weeks is really good. Keep it up and just think how fab you will look in the summer!

I had a setback yesterday after group. I lapsed for a few seconds and before I knew it I had swallowed it and it was gone. It sat in my stomach, heavy as a reminder of my stupid mistake. I know my trigger points.. it is supposedly a “reward” for my weight loss. Stupid..I have just sabotaged my weight loss!

Anyway, today is a new day. My stomach feels wobbly so I am going to set a challenge to myself to do sit ups every day (I have got the idea from another forum). I am to do 50 half sit ups a day. I also need to do my bingo wings ready for the summer. I will start that next week.

Dont beat yourself up, you have got straight back on the wagon, well done x

I have not been on here the past few days, I have been in bed ill with flu. I actually thought I was going to die! I am up and about today though. I didn’t make it to group to get weighed. I scales would probably show a big loss as I have had no appetite. I couldn’t face the food packs, so I have enough to get me through the rest of the week. My LLC was great on the phone. I have decided to get back on the shakes now that my cravings for carbs and sweet things have taken over.

A little set back, but am now back on the road to recovery and weight loss!

 

[LadyT]

Glad you are feelin better xx

It has been ages since I was last here. After being ill last week and off packs, it was hard to get back into it again. However, I am proud to stay 100% this week! I had some orange squash (no added sugar) yesterday and found I am still in ketosis today. I used to drink it when I did Atkins years ago. I am not sure if it is a coincidence but I feel really hungry today (which is why I am here). I would rather pay £1 per bottle that pay out so much more (is it £9?) for something LL branded that does the same thing. However, if it is that which is making me hungry, I am happy to give it up.
I have group today. I am finding my clothes much bigger on me. I put on a jumper this morning and it looks like a tunic style top, it falls right below my bottom! Isn’t it strange?

 

[motherof2]

Went to group today and lost another 3lbs. Also, I tried on my size 12 jeans and not only did they fit, my LLC thought they were quite baggy! They used to be my skinny jeans before I had my 2nd child. I have a bit of a muffin top though.. but not for long

 

[Pinkie :)]

Woohooo!! That's great about the jeans... and your brill 3lb loss!! Well done, so pleased for you!

Brilliant news xx

I am feeling really low and emotional today. I have had my irritable days where my poor husband can never say a word right. But I have not had a day where I cannot see positive in anything. It is days like this I could just give up. But I would probably feel worse..

I need chocolate! Or an early night! Or some me time!

 

[Tanners]

Sorry to hear ur feeling low. It happens to us all... probably more so on LL as we are having to listen to our feelings instead of eating them!!

I think u should have some me time then an early night... Or maybe have an early night with ur poor husband?? U won't want chocolate after that!!

Keep strong!! Xx
