I am sooooo lucky! A kind and generous lady at my group last night have me the loveliest black dress. It's amazing that (a) someone gave me such a handsome dress for free and (b) it fits wonderfully! I am wearing it now with a white shirt underneath and my houndstooth courts (hardest working shoes I ever bought, seriously). It's sleeveless with a high-ish neck and comes just below the knee. LOVES IT! And y'know what? It's a size 20. Check me out, I haven't been so happy with how I looked in a long time.
I only lost 2lb at group last night. My lowest loss yet. Still, can't complain. Rather lose it than put it on. So that takes my losses to:
Week 1 18st 11lb (start weight)
Week 2 5lb (18st 6lb)
Week 3 3lb (18st 3lb)
Week 4 3lb (18st)
Week 5 3lb (17st 11lb)
Week 6 5lb (17st 6lb)
Week 7 4lb (17st 2lb)
Week 8 5lb (16st 11lb)
Week 9 3lb (16st 8lb)
Week 10 4lb (16st 4lb)
Week 11 3lb (16st 1lb)
Week 12 5lb (15st 10lb)
Week 13 4lb (15st 6lb)
Week 14 2lb (15st 4lb)
So three and a half stone in foundation. Pretty good!
It turns out that only three people in my group (which started at thirteen) have stayed abstinent the whole time. That's the truth you don't find out until the end! I was under the impression all these weeks that everyone had not eaten. I must say, there is a little part of me that feels disappointed and cheated because I have had times where I've struggled and I've told them and they nodded along but it turns out they weren't sticking to it? Whatever works for them I suppose. There is no way I could cheat because if I ate one thing, I'd eat everything. There's no balance for me, I couldn't regain control. If I ate anything I'd be off the wagon for good.
You guys know that I told myself at the beginning of this that I was going to do the whole 14 weeks without eating and I've gotta stick to it.
I got my before and after pictures back today but I will have to tell you about them another time because I have to go now.
Seriously, if you are thinking of doing Lighterlife, I urge you to do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! It is the best thing you will ever do for yourself.
