Do you mean limitations of tthe programme or your own limitations?

Hi Boldandbeautiful,

The biggest barrier to most people's weight loss journeys is exactly the same as the biggest barrier to giving up smoking or, indeed, in making any significant changes in your life.

And that is the habits you are in and have got used to. Old habits die hard. But once you take the plunge into new and better habits, those old ones kind of vaporise into the mists of time.

Oh and old habits were probably exactly what made you overweight! (Assuming you are).

Good luck with your weight loss journey

I have recently read a statistic that more than 50% of Brits are overweight or obese! That is obscene. The thing that I found the most obscene about it is that I'm one of them. That really helps me keep my determination NOT to have that pint that is calling me. "Drink me drink me...you fat ba5tard". Have a glass of wine instead and savour each sip. Once down to target, my habits will have changed enough that I only want one pint instead of the usual several.

Not what you're looking for?
