LIGHTER LIFE LITE - First Day!

Ok - well, rather than making more empty promises to myself about NEVER LAPSING AGAIN, I have taken my destiny into my own sweaty palms and decided to meet my rebellious child (henceforth known as Jezabel!!) head on for a bit of give and take.

After all, what do we all do when told me absolutely can't do something, with absolutely no leeway? We rebel. So, instead, I am hoping that by treating Jezabel with an element of respect, she will learn to make some more adult decisions for herself.... so I am ALLOWING myself to lapse, and hoping that this will be enough to satisfy her.

So - how am I going to do this? I have started LIGHTER LIFE LITE.

LLL is a new programme introduced by, you guessed it - Lighter Life. It is not a VLCD (very low calorie diet), but an LCD (low calorie diet). You have more calories each day by including one meal alongside three LL foodpacks (I've been on 4 foodpacks per day until now)... so it's all quite exciting.

I only had my first meeting last night and haven't had a chance to read through my book yet to really absorb what I can and can't eat - but it looks like I'll be able to have some nice things. I might cook a nice stuffed marrow tonight - pretty old school, but yummy! Or make a nice pasta sauce and have it on brocolli... YUM! The more I write the more I am desperate to get out of here and get to tesco! I also get to have CHEESE! OH THE EXCITEMENT!!

So, anyway - I have one more stone to lose, maybe a bit more, but I'd be happy with one stone - taking me to 10 stone 6... so I have vowed to stick to this and get it done. Jezabel will just have to shut the bleep up and take the olive branch I am giving her - she gets to eat, and it will taste lovely - and she will have to deal with the fact that she can't have whatever she wants (usually not the healthiest options!). It's going to be a good life lesson, and I am so so excited that I am going to start my learning tonight :)

(PS - Oh, and to mark this 'new' new start, I have had my hair chopped again!!)
