It's a set back, but not a disaster. You CAN bring it back. It is so much in our heads as much as the mouth!
You've got to stop punishing yourself and beating yourself up.
You'll see on here, so many people are finding it tough at the moment - BL has gone right back to the beginning and doing Foundation LLT again to address the tough issues she has faced in the past year.
Me too - since I've had breast cancer, diagnosed in April., operation in May and now half way through chemotherapy it is very hard not to say to myself "what the hell -I'm alive - reward - food!
Lots of people on here have struggled with holiday gains and emotional issues - you are not alone. Some disappear, some come back, some lurk and some face the challenge and keep trying.
Good for you for coming back. We are all here to support each other.
We've got to face it we are all people who have developed our relationship with food/weight/self-esteem over our lifetimes (mine much longer than yours!) It isn't easy to maintain - that is the toughest challenge, but you know what a difference losing all that weight has made to you - you are still loads down from when you started.
Why don't you try writing down 2 lists - the pros and cons of where you are now compared with before LL?
Remind yourself how you felt at the weight/size you are now when you were losing weight.
Order a uniform a size up. Drink lots of water when you feel hungry. Maybe speak to your GP or LLC?
See if yiu can get some counselling if that would help.
Learn to like yourself again- I'm sure the rest will fall into place.
Remember how different you feel when slim..........xxx
