My new beginning !!!

Hi,
I have been feeling really fed up lately about my weight and have found myself in a viciouse cycle of comfort eating, feeling guilty and even more fed up, eating more cuz i feel like i have already blown it so what the hec.
Anyway in the paper there was a bit about a new lighterlife group that is openening locally. I have done the lighterlife programme before but it was over in stratford and where i went wrong was that i did not see the whole programme through to then end to then go on to do the maintanance. I lost a lot of muscle tone before and because my muscles are already quite weak i started dislocating (great fun!). I have been working really hard on my physiotherapy though and have now joined a ladies exercise centre where they have got some toning tables/chairs so am working really hard at keeping my muscles strong. I can get to this lighterlife group on my own and I want to do the whole programme and go onto the maintance which i think is the key...because the old habbits just slipped back and the weight piled back on. I went to see the GP thursday and she said to go back in a week to pick up the form (to give her time to look through my med notes- i am quite complicated and she was not my usual gp i see because she was on holiday (how rude eh?!))
Anyway i started the LL diet yesterday (friday) - i wanted to start as soon as i got the thumbs up from the gp so i ordered some off ebay to start me off. My starting weight is 13stone. I want to get to down to around 9 stone- that would TOTALLY ROCK!!!
I am being really good and drink lots of water and have been peeing loadz!
I was really pleased with myself actually because i started friday and i went shopping that day. I can't walk long distances and have lots of sit downs. Usually i go to coffee shops and have lots of hot chocolates, cakes and crap but friday each time i needed a sit down either sat on a bench and people watched or went to a coffe shop and had some bottled water. (I am wierd i can only drink water from a bottle!) So i was really pleased with myself- go me!
The group starts a week on monday and i am really looking forward to starting the group.
Anyway,
Bye for now
