No times the right time to start

[gman1961]

Just got a few weeks of the blood sugar diet left to complete.

I am away next Saturday for 2 weeks and I honestly feel like I don't want to undoo all my good work.

I have realised that no time is the right time to start, as I could come up with reason after reason reason not to start.

People are saying well you are away so don't worry ,but for me I think I will just be back to where I started.

I will eat and drink sensibly ,and I will be walking alot.

I have never felt so good and that's priceless.

Thanks

Gary

You have learned a lot about yourself in this process Gary and that knowledge won't let you self destruct. You are already mindfully thinking about what you will eat and what excercise you will do. Use these new found skills and enjoy your holiday. Don't focus on it when you are away, have fun and we look forward to hearing from you when you get back.😎🌞

I'm even what calories are in alcohol etc .

Normally do loads of walking and it will be hit .

Thanks

Gary

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to Hidden]

[Hidden in reply to gman1961]

Where are you going on holiday if you don't mind me asking?

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to Hidden]

Off to India .

Gary

[IndigoBlue61 in reply to gman1961]

Oh Wow!! That’s going to very special Gary 😊

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to IndigoBlue61]

It's my second home,I am so chilled out when I'm there .

I first went some years ago and as soon as I got there I felt so relaxed.

I would live there there if I could .spend my days helping others .

I see you are sporting a new badge. Happy Birthday🎂 Enjoy your virtual cake.😊

[Hidden in reply to gman1961]

I am so envious. It's a country I would love to visit. If you are doing lots of walking in the heat you will burns loads of calories just remember to drink lots of bottled water. Enjoy the experience.

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to Hidden]

Will do

Thanks

Do the right thing for you Gary. You have done amazingly well on the BSD - feeling as you do is priceless.

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to Ceals]

I will do thanks ceals ,I will watch others eat and drink at their peril.

I will do what's right for me .

Gary

[Ceals in reply to gman1961]

Do you know I sometimes do that Gary. I am frequently amazed at what I see others eat and drink. I don't pass judgement I just wish everybody could understand how to eat well for the sake of their health.

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to Ceals]

And people also pass comment ,like what you doing that for you are going away ? .people don't like to see us succeed because they never will.

Gary

[Ceals in reply to gman1961]

Yep, funny how people think we can't continue to eat well because we are on holiday.

Thank goodness we have changed our mindset. I certainly feel so much better for it.

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to Ceals]

I realise now that I have an opportunity to change my lifestyle ,why would I want to go back to looking and feeling the way I did.not for anyone .

Gary

[Ceals in reply to gman1961]

Exactly! I have stopped eating and drinking anything to suit anyone else. I have decided that i am important too.

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to Ceals]

That's right does anyone say to you why they are eating and drinking???

I bet not.

Gary

[Ceals in reply to gman1961]

No, I think it is just habit and that is what they have always done. Plus of course people still think eating low fat products are healthy.

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to Ceals]

Full fat for me .

Thanks

Gary

[Ceals in reply to gman1961]

and me - and it is so much nicer too, as well as being better for us.

Hi Gary

From the sound of things your new lifestyle is so ingrained in you that wild horses wouldn't make you deviate from it!

I so admire that you have completely changed your mindset, and that you completely embrace your new healthy lifestyle.

Have a wonderful time in India and ... Happy Birthday!

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to Needtodosomething]

I'm sure you will be fine Gary you are saying that you don't want to undo your good work and I'm sure those thoughts will be on your mind constantly and keep you on the right path

Have a great time and relax you so deserve it ☺️

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to Cat33]

Aw thanks cat 33,

I will relax .yep I do have treats but not all the time and i know how to control things .so I've been away before and not had certain things so the temptation of rubbish food is not around .

Gary

[Cat33 Restart Dec 2023 in reply to gman1961]
