[QUOTE="Scandichic, post: 550031, member: 94210"] Hi Brunneria, My hubbie and i have just being discussing your post and we agree. People are so focused on the weight loss that they forget that they mustn't go back to their old ways. However, that said I am one of those people who want to lose the weight ASAP. There are several reasons for this. The first being that now I've started losing the weight, it's made me realise that I can do something about it and actually I was bloody fat. However kind we are to ourselves and others, there's no escaping that it doesn't look great. I had stopped looking in the mirror so was probably in denial. I now look a lot better and feel a lot better. There is of course the obvious reason of health. If I don't get rid of this weight I'm going to become a lot sicker and the thought of glaucoma and amputation makes me face this reality. I am convinced, and so is the one good doc at our practice, that the food we eat and the weight are interlinked. If I eat the right things for me, my bs comes down and I lose weight. When my bs is down, I need less meds and when I lose weight I feel better. Bp down. Less risk of stroke or heart attack. It's weird that the stroke stuff didn't motivate me but amputation and blindness on the other hand... The other thing that motivates me, is the fact that my diet is great and enabling me to bring about these changes but only one doc is prepared to listen. I cannot comprehend this at all. I am a walking example of the benefits of LCHF. It beggars belief that I can still be told to eat more carbs even though I've explained what happens to my bs when I do. I want to have lost a significant amount by the time I attend this stupid course. Just so I can go nah, nah, nah, nah! How grown up. Finally, my aunt relied on meds and followed the NHS healthy plate. She became fatter and fatter and ended up on insulin too. I want to hold off this for as long as possible! I have just weighed myself and have lost another pound! Total weight loss 2 stone 4lbs! [/QUOTE]
