Hello team! Just back from last night's second meeting, and first weigh-in after week 1.
Week 1's loss is...drumroll please....
12 pounds! Wooooo!
I am very excited. I don't think I've ever lost 12 pounds in my life. This was the second meeting too and I am happier with my LL counsellor as well. I think I was just looking for reasons to quit/change/waver before. We covered some basic 'all or nothing' thinking' and then driving home with my friend, we realised that all or nothing thinking affected nearly everything we were talking about, so it was really interesting. I'm not entirely sure how it links up to my food issues too, but that will probs come in time.
Anyway, I have bars now and I am savouring them! I think they're going to be my treat at the end of the day, or at TV time, but that might not be helping me break bad habits. What do you guys think about that? I am off uni for a week this week, but when I start in A+E next week, I will probs use them in the day as my lunch (rather than having to whizz up a shake or soup in hospital), so that might change.
I'm going home for a few days this week and am a bit scared about that because going home usually means being showered with food and treats and take-away by my lovely (but normal weight) parents. They are totally on side with me, but I know there will be food in the house so it's might be a bit of a challenge resisting. We shall see... Any tips?
Thanks for everyone's feedback this week, it's been marvelous and has kept me on track to lose 12 pounds. So brill!
