Ok, here's the deal....
18 months ago I lost about 50lbs quite quickly on the ultralite plan (low carb/high protein thing). It was a plan my parents had both been really successful on and the results were dramatic. Unfortunately, moving overseas and being an emotional eater has meant that I have regained every pound (plus 5 more).
My resolution was to try again but here I am 2 weeks down and can't maintain it for more than a day or 2 at a time...therefore NOT WORKING. That's the problem with this plan...once you break it you get out of ketosis and it takes 2 or 3 days to get back in...not the lifestyle change I need to be successful.
I am a failed WW. Unfortunately I know deep down that WW is a great plan and that it was/is me failing the plan and not the other way round.
My dilemma is that I am now finding myself having panic attacks (and then bingeing) with these rediculous time lines I have placed in front of me (30th B'day in Sept; wanting to get pregnant again before Xmas). Each day I set out and fail and end up feeling worse than the day before.
I'm not sure that my amazingly supportive and patient husband will cope with yet another diet change tactic. If I swap plans now am I failing myself? I guess if I continue on this path I am failing myself anyway so I may as well try something new....I DON"T KNOW?!?
Bottom line is I am feeling like a complete failure and am not sure how to scrape myself off the floor and try again...
