One full week in...

Well, I started last Thursday and I am still so very excited about a lot of things on this WOE...
First of all, I LOVE not being HUNGRY!!! Oh, how freeing that is!
Secondly, I love that I feel so good...not weak, tired, irritable from being hungry...which is how every other diet has made me feel...
I love the food, but I love fruit and I love beans and I never get tired of either one, so this was a natural fit for me from the start!
And...though I am not supposed to weigh, I am down 5 and 1/2 pounds...can we say happy dance?!!!
I'm just starting...this time next year...a so much thinner me!!!

I've been at goal over 6 months now and still find it hard to believe! I can't keep the good news to myself. Some people don't try it, just because they think it is impossible, I think. There are those who say they can't give up bread or can't give up rice, but bread and rice are no where near as good as not having a spare tire around my midsection. Sometimes it helps to tell them they can have bread ocassionally after they lose the weight. I actually have had it ocassionally myself, but it really isn't so great. They'll see that after eating this way. They just have to get started with it.
Bren -- if weighing helps you be encouraged, go ahead and do it. I weighed daily and did just fine with it. I actually read that people who weigh daily lose weight faster and maintain better. There are many opinions on this, and my personal one is it helped me stay focused. I notice about myself that when I don't want to weigh, it is because I want to not know how much I gained -- after eating off a bit. On those days, I force myself to weigh so I can have a reality check and stick with the program!

So good to hear from Bingo. Great job, and Bren, you're on your way. I love this WOE for the same reasons. I'm at goal, but have no idea of ever eating any differently. I enjoy the foods, and if I now take something extra, the next day I am back to LDL foods. I don't think that I'll ever consume sugar products again. I don't miss them because of the abundance of luscious fruit.

Thanks, Karen! Bingo, I googled the question "What do you do when you've tried everything to lose weight" and LDL came up...God sent this glorious plan to me, that's how I found it...I had NEVER even heard of it before and neither has anyone I know...how can something this wonderful be such a secret?!
Won't be for long in my neck of the woods because I am spreading the news...just bought my SIL a book of her own and will probably be buying more for other family members. I know so many people who need the FREEDOM of this plan to lose weight!
