Hi I am completely new to discussion boards so this may end up in some random place. I am off to LL meeting for start of a new journey of discovery on Tues eve. I have done it before however sadly just as I lost all my weight and wore size 10's for the first time ever and felt confident and energetic I met a man whom I fell for big time only he constantly confronted me about everything I ate even though I was healthy, hense I began to obsess about food, stopped going to maintainence and gained most (not all) of what I lost. Man now gone and weight soon to go. I am an emmotoinal eater and need to stop, this LL plan really works but only if you see it through. As for the cost yes it is hard but if i add up all my social drinks, snacks, meals etc I probably spend the same. Good luck to al those on LL and to those who are struggling go spoil yourself with a home manicure, facial, mess about with a new hair style and pamper yourself it stops boredom and gives you a boost, you are after all worth it x
