OK babes - you want him? Then have him!
Men don't see the wobbly bits that we do - it's a fact! He'll be delighted to get you nekkid - trust me! I KNOW these things!!!!!!!
BUT only jump his bones if you trust him not to feck orf, leaving you feeling used and horrid!
I think he's still got a bit of work to do on that score, personally!
But whatever you do - do it because YOU want to!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Maybe I just need to use him as my "let's get it over with" man! Sometimes I disgust myself at how shallow I am!
I really want that group thing again. I'm drifting on my own, taking 2 steps back for each one forward. I am not ready to join a WW group coz I can't cope with the food aspect at the moment. If I do LL I will also be able to do the management course as well. Gosh, I just don't know what to do!
I really hope you don't mind me saying this, darling but I honestly think you need to give one diet plan a chance before you think about changing to another.
I know the temptation is to think - oh heck, this one ain't working - what will? But if you keep chopping and changing, then your body won't know which way up it is. Do you get what I mean? Not being horrid, honestly, luv, just think you'd do best to stick to one for a month and then assess how things are going from there. You've had so much change in your life recently, it's no wonder that you're feeling unsettled about your diet - I know.
Have a good night out tonight and I expect FULL details in the morning hehehehehehhe!

I know what you are saying but I have struggled so much since I left my LL group last summer. I did so well on LL and have been unhappy with everything I've done since. I'm "doing" CD at the moment but I really miss the group thing - same diet just a different approach I know. I do CD for a bit then lose focus and fall off the wagon (usually spectacularly sp?) and binge. Then I decided I've had enough, I'm gonna join ww or something and don't commit to it totally. LL is the only thing I committed to totally and that worked. I would have still been doing it with the support of my group if circumstances hadn't taken over. I just want to feel that same sense of belonging, motivation and achievement that I did back then. I have some regrets about leaving Scotland (including leaving some really good friends) but the fact that I couldn't finish LL is one of my biggest. I'm not that good on my own!
Date is tomorrow night, not tonight - Friday night dancing and...........
I'll update ya on Saturday!
You've got to do what is right for you, darling and if the group thing is what works for you, then go for it. It is harder second time around though, isn't it? We all know that - to our cost!!!!
And the third and the fourth time.............
I hope you find that the new LL group really works for you - then you'll feel more in control and settled!
I am still deciding whether to go or not but the group definitely works for me!
Soz I got the date date wrong - will look forward to hearing all about it on Saturday then - I lose track of days! lol
I'll spill the beans tomorrow, if I decide to go *lol*

Hi hun!
Just really quick message to say that I can totally understand where you are coming from with the LL group thing..... I struggled like mad after switching from LL to CD - even though I did manage to loose a further two stone.... however, I've now regained 3 of the 6 I lost and if I could afford LL then I'd be back there like a shot.... I really found the group helped - I didn't really 'get' the CBT - though sub-consiously I think it probably did help but I found the 'camaraderie (sp?)' of the group really helped to keep me focused (bit of a competitive how much you lost this week type thingy).....
I enjoyed the CBT thing, I was super swot girl and always did my home work and completed my thought records! Should really have kept them going after I moved, but too much other stuff on my mind.
Is there anyway you could maybe start from 'scratch' in a beginners group - have you enough to loose ? Might be good to go completely 'back to basics' and re-learn what you learnt before?
That's what I'd like to do, but I'm not sure if that is type of group she is running. TBH I don't think it will matter - any group is better than none.
Anyway, you know whatever you decide we are all here to support you.......
Have a good night tomorrow hun.... again whatever you decide...... I'd have a few drinks (I'd have to for the nerves) - but not too many that you don't remember anything.....
I'm definitely gonna go down the dutch courage route.
Looking forward to seeing you next weekend - I'm sure we'll find you another admirer next weekend - and the majority of the men were dancing too last time..... bonus......
Hope you are bringing your dancing shoes with ya next weekend, coz you and I have a date on the dance floor. Is your Sarah coming too?
Lots of love
Ah hon,
big hugs((())) I too know what you mean about the group thing but and this is a big but. I think we need to learn to control ourselves without the help of twelve others once a week. I know it's good to be with other who are going through the same thing but i think your in danger of staying on the same treadmill forever. Does that make any sense? I have struggled since swopping from LL but recently have talked to myself and realised that ultimately i got myself fat and i will get myself slim. I choose whether to eat or not, I choose whether to listen to my negative thoughts.
If you really need to go back and you have the money then go for it (i know contradicting everything i just wrote?!!? doh)
Look how far you have come, you know you can do it you are strong.
Good luck.

seriously going to crack up.... had a real long post done and then went to send it and it vanished ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Gen, I always type in a post in the box, highlight the whole lot and press ctrl+c to copy it before pressing submit. If my connection goes I just go back to the posting box and paste the reply back in and try again. Only works if it's not your whole computer crashing though!
anyway in short... prob for the best ha ha
i think dawntwinkler has a point in that you need to get control yourself and you own eating habits and i defo think that the counselling you are doing at the moment will help you... maybe combining LL with this counselling would work???
Think you are right about this. I am encouraged by how positive you are at the moment and the fact that you are finding your counselling useful. I want to do all I can to "heal" myself but I realise I do need help!
Enjoy your date with Matt hun... he seems really keen on you otherwise he would be just asking ya to meet him for an hour for a quickie whereas you guys are going out for the night dancing and having fun... and then maybe some hanky panky ya lucky git!!! he won't even notice any wobbly bits... far too interested in his own performance me thinks!!!!
If you see my last post, I had a moment last night when I thought he was just after a quickie. He still might be, just haven't found out yet. A little bit of hanky panky ain't bad, but that's my limit *lol*.
Have a lovely weekend hun
love
Ah Sarah go out and enjoy yourself girl.... the ball is in your court in terms of how far you go with him... why not go out with your brother for a drink before hand? Or have a drink with your mam and dad to get yourself in the mood.... did you decided to drink wine after?
Aww give the bloke a chance. He seems a decent sort. Not always great first time especially if you were drunk. And at least he called, more than some do.
