I have always loved food, the problem is it's unhealthy to have such a fixation on it like I have over the last few years. I have secretly ate crisps and take outs for as long as I can remember, when I was younger and slimmer it didn't matter too much, but when I hit my 20's it all started to catch up with me. I have expanded into a size 20-22 recently and it's got me down in the dumps.
I have tried many slimming clubs, weight watchers, slimming world and Rosemary connoly. I have lost a few llbs on the plans but found that temptation was harder to avoid when I was constantly thinking about food and what I could eat. I found the plans quite confusing and often made slip ups because of it. Trying to make a life changing move was proving hard for me.
When I saw my old boss who had lost a massive amount of weight on LL, I kept it in my mind for a couple of months, flitting between yes and no to go ahead and do it. The biggest issue for me not being able to "eat" and not being in control.
When I made the choice to go and find out what LL was and met up with the councillor I realised I have not been in control for a long time of my eating and food is far from being a comfort which has always been my excuse.
I started LL on the 6th jan and am now 4 days in. The biggest problem I have found is not the physical hunger but emotional attachment I have to food. I often think , I deserve something nice to eat I've had a hard day, or let's have a treat and go out for a meal, but those ideas are out of the window and now I feel slightly alone!
Hopefully this is the beginning of my journey to change my attitude towards food, then maybe i can go out and feel good about my appearance one day! X
