Week 3-4 re focus

5 Replies

Wk 1 -full of enthusiasm lost 4lb. Wk 2 - horrible virus and lost routine but stayed same weight. Wk 3-kids parties and in laws staying-put on 1.5lb. Last three days seriously raided the shortbread tin at work as have started gaining weight again. Why do I do it? I'm back to the gym but can't quite get back to sticking to the 1400 cals. My meals are planned and counted but my resolve to avoid the sugary snacks has vanished-after only three weeks.

I said no more excuses this time so would appreciate any hints/tips/self flogging techniques I could use. I want to turn it around and refocus but am close to just throwing it in -again. Help!!!

Before you raid the biscuit tin have a glass of water, then make yourself 'decide' whether you really 'need' to have it ... Sometimes it's easy to reach for something sweet just as a bad habit. My thought this week has been 'It's only me that can sabotage this plan ... I am deciding to change'

Keep going ... We're right behind you x

To lose weight one needs to be focused and put him/herself first. The changes to be made in our daily routine must be sustainable whether we are ill, or have a bad day, or are invited to a party every day! You need to make healthy choices whatever the situation. It requires willpower at first, but after 4 weeks it's easier, as our body adapts to the new habits.

Hi. Thanks. So when I'm in 'the zone' I can do that. My issue is I've fallen out of the zone and want to get back in. I know it's just me but suupose wanted a bit of advice and support.
