I am going to try LL one more time in the hope of ending my weightloss nightmare and starting a weight controlled life.
As of next week it will be a whole year since I came off LL and have played with CD/WLR/Rosemary Conley and LL and have managed to gain 20 pounds in that year. I have decided I'd rather have three/four months of struggle than waste another year moaning about my weight. No matter how many times I fall off LL I am going to continue to pick myself up and carry on until I reach target...of course I'm hoping I won't fall off, but if I do I'm not going to throw in the towel again and whinge about it, I'm going to accept that I'm human and start afresh the next day.
I have had a bloody awful year with mum being hospitalised for 5 months and daily visits, my own health scare and subsequent operation, my childs ill health in the January, abandonment by my father again and my dog was put down the day I returned from honeymoon...my wedding day being the one wonderful highlight of the year and I'm hoping 2006 will be remembered for that eventually rather than the year from hell.
Therefore, I am going to stop beating myself up over the 20 pounds weight gain, not huge in the grand scheme of the year I've had, and get back on track. If I'm lucky I'll get rid of those 20 pounds before 2007 arrives so I'll start 2007 afresh and forget 2006 ever happened (dietwise).
I have four dates in the diary with food attached before the New Year, but I will plan to eat, knowing what I'm letting msyelf in for, and then make a decision on the day. I am going to commit to 28 days at a time and hope to be at target for the Easter holidays.
I'm eating my favourite foods tonight and baked beans and sausages weds eve (for some reason they really played on my mind last time on LL!), the last pieces of rubbish that are in the fridge and the water is arriving this afternoon. I don't feel strong of mind this time around, but then I don't expect anyone does after falling on and off for a year, but I'm positive and am resigned to it...I know that sounds negative but I think sometimes with this diet you need to be quite low to get back on.
My first 28 days finishes on Christmas eve so can't decide to have a week off and then start again after boxing day...mmm, will have to think about that one.
Anyway, will use this thread to try and divert my attention from the diet if I can and hopefully get some help if I come unstuck. Fingers crossed, this thread will end before Easter
