LessBennetDiet –Survival Program
The 28th of March after a wonderful year, Lizzie Bennet decided to stop her vlog.
For a week, you have been struggling with the emptiness of your Monday, Thursday and all the others days actually. The LBDaddiction is running in your veins, in your brain, and suddenly the object of your sweet pleasure is gone. This is too hard to deal with it by yourself.
We do not advice anyone to stop all LBD-activities right away: you could have a breakdown.
But if you feel this is too overwhelming for you to watch anything related to the LBD, just take a break and wait for you to be ready. Everybody is different. And when you feel ready for it, follow the LessBennetDiet Program.
To survive, we have recommended the following to the residents. Please follow step by step.
1) Have a LBD Marathon. Watch everything again: theLBD, the spin-offs, the tweets, everything.
You can go through that link: http://www.lizziebennet.com/story/
or our YouTube Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbTSB-zmaJqX2MPaEHLfPSHOuGcLHM2qR
As an option, you can add at your marathon the G+Hangouts videos that LBDSeahorses posted on YouTube. Yes, it is almost 2hours each, It depends if you are highly addicted or you are medium addicted.
Do not have any other activities while doing the marathon. By the end, you will get a LBD-overdose and you will crash. That is perfect. This is the purpose of it.
We also recommend highly before starting step 1, to get some food close to you otherwise you will starve. We advise you to drink some magic tea with snickerdoodles. For lunch and dinner, get some delivered Chinese. You will not have time to cook during the viewing. Please use the welcome care package the center gave to you at your arrival.
When you have done that, take a break as long as your body survives it. And then go to step 2, 3 and 4. Those steps can be done simultaneously or one after the other.
If you feel strong enough, you can go directly to step 6.
2) Enjoy the fanvideos or vlogs about the LBD coming everyday on YouTube.
You can check our fanvideos playlists on our YouTube Channel.
With VEDA, patients are quite prolific. Just type Lizzie Bennet VEDA on YouTube, you will have quite some results.
We highly recommend the channel of Margaret Hale. But be careful not to catch the MargaretAddiction. We have few residents already suffering from it.
If we find good videos, we will show them to our patients by posting/reblog them here.
If you are a creative one, you can make a fanvid, and please share with your beloved friends of the CareCenter. We advice you not to make more than 1 per week.
3) Enjoy some LBDfanfictions:
You will find a lot of them here:

If you are a good writer, please you can also feel free to make a fanfiction, and dont forget to come read it to your dear centermates.
4) Rewatch the pictures and gifs you have registered on your computer. We know you have a folder full of it, do not lie to us!
Check the gifs and memes that still appear every day.
Create some too if you know how and share.
Sharing and getting feedback helps recovering.
During those 3 steps, we recommend you not to watch/read/create everything in a row. Take some time to breath, go outside, take some fresh air, find some others activities, and little by little make this noLBD time longer and longer. The rule is always that work, homework, invoices to be paid, governmental documents to be filled, feeding your little one, all of those have priority over LBD. Don’t procrastinate. Neither your LBD-Survival-Program nor your other responsibilities. If you have some doubts on your priorities, feel free to contact us.
Decrease the frequency of vids, fics, gifs little by little. For example, if you watch/read 10 of them, have at least 30 min between each first. The next day, 60 min between each LBD-activity, then, 120 min, 240 min, etc, etc. Please use your pocket-watch to check the time. Don’t look at us like that. We know that you bought a pocket-watch. We know everything. Oh, and at the same time, try to reduce the amount of vids or fics per day. Keep track on your agenda, and stick to the program.
5) During step 1, 2, 3 and 4, don’t forget to stay tuned for the LBD Educational Hangout of Bernie Su. Watch the one he has already done.
6) Write a Goodbye message, or record a Goodbye video to the team, expressing what LBD means to you, what you have learned from it. If you are saying goodbye, it means that you start to let it go.
If you do not feel ready, go back to step 1, however do not watch everything in once this time, keep the frequency you have established during step 2-3-4.
7) By the moment you arrive at step 7, Sanditon will have probably started. So, you will get a new addiction to deal with. But we will talk about it when the moment comes.
8) Start a blog about the LBD and/or follow the blogs about LBD.
Time to time during your lifetime, you will always watch some episodes again and again. You will see that naturally the frequency will decrease and stabilize by itself.
LBD will always be there somewhere. Crisis will come back sometimes (especially when you will get your DVD). Then, you have go back to the LBD-Survival-Program described here.
We also recommend you to read some Jane Austen books and related books, if you have some free time. You will probably picture the characters of the books having the lovely faces of the LBD actors. This is fine. Full list here: http://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/jane-austen-related . There are a lot, but you have your lifetime for it. No hurry.
Let us know how it goes. If you have a LBD-crisis, please feel to contact us.
We would like to thank our amazing director Miss Watson to give us the opportunity to work in this breathtaking and international establishment and help so many people.
It is so good to take care of you!
