TO loose weight

[Moomoomango]

So I'm loosing weight (and really need to) I'm bridesmaid for my best friend in December and we have been told by the dress shop that we have to order dresses in may - that is an entire 7 months before the wedding. I am hoping to loose a lot of weight in that time - I've been doing so well and the average weight loss for the programme I'm on is 1 stone a month.

I don't want to stop loosing weight for 7 months but equally don't think I will be the same size and don't feel comfortable ordering a dress knowing I'm planning on being smaller. I've told my friend and she seems unfazed but not sure she realises how serious I am even though pre dc I lost 7 stone with the same diet.

Aibu to continue on anyway and deal with the dress issue later?

I have really bad food addictive personality. The only time I can loose weight is when I go cold turkey like an alcoholic. Yes I probably need counselling - but right now I love the feeling of not eating, I'm free from the mental tourment of food addiction!

Lose!

Loving the feeling of not eating is worrying.

You need to deal with your unhealthy attitude towards food. You'll never reach a happy stable weight without sorting this out.

A colleague is getting married and has lost weight (not even half what you plan to) and has been told the dress can't be taken in any more so not to lose any more. I expect it depends on the style of the dress but there will be a limit on how much it can be taken in by.

Also warning that VLCD is not good long term

Please please be kind to yourself and get some mental health help. The sugar shakes have already failed once and these massive yo yos are really bad for you.

Sod the dress. Just dont say wedding and they don't take months to make.

I know the plan OP and you will most likely regain all the weight (like you already have) so why not do something more sustainable instead?

[DomesticDisgrace]

And that addiction hasn't gone anywhere, as soon as you start eating again it will come back ten fold.
Retrain yourself to eat normally.

I think that you need ro think about your long term health You have previously lost 7 stone ?! Have you gained it all back?

[sonyaya]

Do not stop losing weight for someone's wedding! Your health is more important. Just tell the bride your thoughts and maybe offer to pay to take the dress in?

7 months is a long time to expect someone to stay the same size. I don't think the bride can reasonably expect that of you.

If you stay on a VLCD for 7 months you are at serious risk of really fucking up your digestive system, developing IBS issues and getting painful gallstones and gallbladder issues. I'm speaking from bitter experience and I only did it for half as long as that. Oh, and I ended up putting it all back on within a year too. It's not sustainable and doesn't address the real food issues or teach you a sensible way of eating.
Seriously op, please don't do it, it's really not good for you.

This is a new one- someone wanting to lose weight being accused of having mental health problems!

Incidentally I know a few people who have successfully lost several stone on cambridge and it's equivalent without adverse effects.

[MajesticWhine]

It wasn't an accusation. The OP herself said she had an addictive personality and probably needs counselling.

Only seem to be able to manage 8-10lb a month

That is actually a much more sensible weight loss programme, and you are more likely to keep slim afterwards (as I'm sure that you know)

Wandering wasn't being a dick.

What is even more annoying is when for the whole rest of the thread people have spelt the word LOSE correctly and also kindly pointed it out to the OP but nope she still insists on spelling it wrong!! To me that justs clarifies the OP is not reading a bloody word anyone writes!

Fucking irritating...
