Weight loss vs hair loss?

Okay, last night was one of those moments... you know when you hear something bad and you could overeact like mad or just take it in your stride. Let it be known that I am one of the world's greatest overeactors (drama queen not to put too fine a point on it!)- but this diet can lead you into a zen like state (as Lesley has noted!), so I didn't. What happened? Oh yes- well I was enjoying my Indian Head Massage course very much- it is very practical and we massage each other almost constantly for two hours- and my friend and massage partner said oh my god you are shedding hair! And she had to brush hair off my back- now I have very short, very thick dark hair (thanks grandad!), and it never sheds in noticeable amounts. And then I remembered- possible side effect of LL. But all the threads say it happens when you restart food- so what the f***!!

And then I said to myself- okay, a bit of hair loss- you are almost 2 stone lighter than 6 weeks ago. It'll come back- anyway you got loads, so is anyone going to really notice? Yes, my hair is my pride and joy (any port in a storm when you are a 'larger lady')- but weight loss will give me a few more assets to be proud of...and karma returned. And I realised that I won't let anything-ANYTHING- stand in the way of this diet and reaching my goal. I am in love with this diet- if this diet needed a kidney I'd be first in the queue! I know this is weird. I know I should not be this emotional about a diet- but I cannot imagine ever leaving the diet behind. The though of saying goodbye is almost too much to bear. What happened to the 'omg I'll never not eat for 100 days, I cannot wait for it to be over and eat a bag of crisps again' attitude. How can I not want the diet to end????

Perhaps it was all that indian head- perhaps learning how to cleanse chakras has lifted me closer to nirvanah. Perhaps I am just mad (quite frankly I have actually been mad in the past). Who knows? Perhaps having a colonic (my two stone 'treat'-see ideas for treats thread on minimins) will bring me back to reality?
