I'm such a weasel !
Only my first day and I'm wishing I'd started tomorrow , We all know THAT feeling right !
I'm pretty sure, that once I've got my first day under my belt I'll be ok, but the first day is a wobbler, in all ways ha ha ha ? ? ?.
I can manage to get upstairs tonight without caving in, can't I ?????? ?
Of course you can. My first time on here I sat reading posts eating chocolate! Now a month on I am 8lb down and although no one has noticed yet I feel so much better. Keep trying and don't be disheartened at the first slip up. We are all in the same boat.
Thanks ! ?
You can do it!! Of course you can. I've just done my first week and I really enjoyed it. I have loved the fact that I pushed myself right out of my comfort zone and I felt like I really achieved something. I have loved thinking of new things to eat and how to fit in a daily treat in the evening as a little well done to myself for sticking to my calorie allowance through the day. And I really love the support on this forum. Hearing how other people are doing really inspires me and I know even if I don't always hit my weekly targets, (my first weigh in tomorrow - will let you know how that goes!) that in the long run, the weight will come off. I am sleeping better, I feel more in control of my life generally now that I have taken control of my eating and exercise and just feel so much more positive generally. Keeping this all in mind, and the reasons why I want to do this helps me stay on track. Just keep reminding yourself of why you are doing this and how good you are going to feel.

Oh thanks that's very positive and im pleased youre feeling sparkier, good on you !!! You are right, I just hope for long term rather than short term success this time.......... I've lost weight before and put it back on again gradually. It's tiring to get to this point 'again' ...... But saying that I'm damned if m going to put any more on and become more unhealthy so the only way is down it would seem ! All the best & kerp me up to date on how you're getting on ! Xx
Yes! Go for it Trierisme!
Thank you ! I'm going to be checking this out first thing in the morning......... I totally agree btw, any healthier eating plan 'has' to be sustainable, for life, otherwise crash and burn.... It wound just be a matter of how long would it take...... Thanks again for the tip ! X
Yes you can and you will feel great in the mornings.
Thank you thank you !!!! I did it ! I managed to get to bed without feasting ! It sounds such a small thing but psychologically, for me, it's pretty important !
I feel great, just as you said !
of course you can!! You Can do this!...yes, it's HELL to start with, im in week two, lost two pounds first week, crept up one pound this monday,...what am I going to do?
Just get back on the wagon and exercise a bit more, off for a brisk walk now,...Good luck to all...
WE are all stronger than we realise say the magazines....so lets prove it!!!
Yes we are strong. ! We always clamber back up on that wagon, were heroes but we just don't realize it!
I'm about to leave my warm cosy home to get into my chilly car to go and do some exercise. When I come home at 9.45 I will walk past the fridge and have a shower and go to bed with a cuddle and a nice book. There. Will now execute on plan. Ive told you mine, you tell me yours and we all hold you to it!! No more weasling!
'No more weasling!' I must have lost ten calories giggling at that ???.
Plan is make friends with my 'fat folder' which is a folder in which I've written what my life is like five years in the future when I've lost my bulk, and I'm enjoying life, enjoying living; then the flip side, when I look five years into the weight gain future which considering I'm 16-3 is as shocking as its grim......... It's a CBT exercise from my 'bible' overcoming weight problems by Drs Jeremy Gauntlett-Gilbert & Clare Grace; reading it again grounds me...... I'm a cheery sort of weasel but there's nothing funny about imagining what my life would be like five years down the road if I carry on like I am ??............. Its not heavy as such, it's saying 'you do have a choice, these are the possible outcomes, you choose' ! Soooooo going to read that, make a nice cup of tea and look up some nice hearty recepies to batch cook, as there's only me to cook for, oh is a veggie & my son is in Australia ( though still after money even though he's on another bloody continent !!!!!!!!!)
Hmmmm I wonder what grilled weasel is like !
Hope your gym ( yuck yuck yuck ! ) session has gone ok, I think it's a credit to your resolve that you can manage to drag yourself there with your job & kids & housey things too, I hope you're giving yourself a big pat on the back you really do deserve it x 10 !!
Keep in touch !
Good idea re- letter to self in 5 years time, done in quite a few books. I struggle to look that far ahead regarding my weight (no problem in planning in other areas)- clearly a blind spot- so bite- sized goals are easier for me. Got back from my class, had a shower no urge to snack from fridge and now tucked up in bed for my early night....
Hope the young man is having a good time in Oz- have you visited yet?
First day tomorrow.
My first day
First Day!!!
first day
This is my first day
