Day 89

Ok...So 89 Days in and 100% stuck to the programme.

No lapses....No Hiccups......

Weight this morning 59.4kgs....

Yes, I should still be on top of the world

and I was.....

Until....

My very good friend rang and was talking to Gary as I was out at the time.

The conversation turned to The Cambridge Diet (similar to Lighter Life but not quite as brutal as I understand it) that she had started two days previously and had to finish as she had felt unwell.
He then mentioned my diet plan. Before I began this,I chose who I would be confiding in and who I did not want to tell but as I am nearly through foundation I wasn't too fussed by the fact that she now knew.
When she rang me the following day and we started to talk about what I was doing (after the initial lecture about why didn't I tell her) she said "You do know that you will put all the weight back on as soon as you start eating again?" followed by "I don't know anyone who has kept the weight off after doing that diet" followed by "one of my friends lost 8 stones on Lighter Life and gained it all back plus an extra stone" and finlly "If you lose anymore you will look awful"

:|

At the time I answered with a fair degree of positivity and we moved along to other things.

It was only later on that evening that I started to feel really anxious about all that she had said, and Now I am distraught :'(

What if she is right?
Why am I going to be any different to all the other people that she knows?
What if this has all been for nothing?

I am also really cross that a friend could wipe out all of my newly acquired self confidence in one fail swoop :roll:

This has been so so hard.

If I had been recieving medical treatment for something would she have said "you do know as soon as this treatment has finished you will get sick again"

:?:

I need to get positive again...but I don't know how

:oops:

HELP!
