Looking for help.....

[Kik]

I did LL in 2009 & lost 4st & felt fantastic, at the time it was the best thing Ive ever done for me. The only drawback was hairloss - it did come back but it was a hard few months.
Now 3 yrs on I have put all the weight back on & Im ashamed to say, a bit more.
:break_diet:
Now Im trying to decide if I should try it again. The cost is off putting as I spent all that money before & it didnt last. Bit worried about my hair & also what others will say if I start again.
Ive had an awful year with illness & am on my own with 3 young children, having lost my husband in June.
I really want to be healthy again & feel inspired reading the boards again - just cant seem to take that final step.....
apologies for long post.

Hi Kik,
It is certainly a big decision, whatever you decide you will get lots of positive support here.
I made my decision knowing that in the last 4 years I had tried other diets (clubs), I had tried 8 months of no choc/sweets/cakes and walked, and only lost 8lbs (so I wasn't eating right or just too much), I had tried the nutritionist, and I just kept getting bigger.
All that made it easier to know this was the right choice for me at this time, and that I felt ready to commit to it.
Maybe write down reasons to do it and reasons not to and see where your head is at. It sounds like you have had a rough time so my best wishes are with you.
