I've been on LT for 10 weeks now... and the weight loss has started to peter out and get smaller and smaller as each week has gone by.
At my week 10 weigh-in last Sunday I had dropped another 2lb bringing me down to an astonishing 12st 2lb which means I've lost 3 stones since starting on 8 Aug.
The pharmacist and I have been discussing re-feeding and the options open to me (maintenance or other diets) to continue with the weight loss and I've opted to come off LT next week and do a week of refeeding and then just go for it with a low fat/low carb diet and see how I get on. My pharmacist has been nothing but supportive as has my daughter and work colleagues... so what the hell has happened this week?
On Monday I didn't have my late shake and instead ate some chicken, yesterday evening I skipped my late shake again and ate two slices of wholemeal bread and today I've had only 1 shake and have had a marmite sandwich instead. I fully expect to have not lost, or even gained, this week just because of the bread and lack of shakes and really am prepared for that.
What has me at a complete and utter loss is that on each and every occassion that I have eaten I have known exactly what I am doing, have had shakes and water available to me but have still chosen the food over the LT. Also, I started this week with probably the happiest outlook since the start of the diet... just because I have hit that magic 3 stone mark. I only 9lbs to go before I hit goal so why on earth am I doing this????
I was only 1 week away from re-feed and I'm completely and utterly confused by this sudden urge to eat because throughout the last 10 weeks I've actually had very few "blips".
Do I carry on for the rest of the week with the shakes and water and maybe try for another complete week of TFR or do I re-feed properly as planned next week and go from there?
Any advice would be gratefully received as to what to do now.
