Happy in my own skin
I've just had the worst week I think I've had since I started my LL journey.
I've been having ongoing dental treatment for the last few months (mostly cosmetic) and then a few weeks ago I developed pain. It's still not resolved despite a few fillings, a root treatment, a dental hospital visit and a weekend of non stop nerve pain. Added to that my mother in law had a fall in the early hours of this morning. She has fractured her collar bone and badly injured her knee and had to go into theatre this afternoon. Thankfully she seems to be doing well. Then my son's best friend found his dad dead last night at home in the bathroom. A terrible thing for the poor boy and my son has been quite shaken by it. I think it's the first person he has known that's died.
Given that I started back on packs this week to lose a wee half stone I've put on since I finished RTM, I've not once felt like turning to food. Ok, maybe that's a lie, maybe when I was making a friend lunch today the smell of the bagel was tempting. However, emotionally, I've not felt the need for extra/inappropriate food the way I would have done in the past. I would have taken comfort in forcing the feelings down and denying them, while telling myself I deserved it.
I think this LL stuff might just work!!!!!
I love LL!
