Oops 😕

Oh dear I have put on 2 pounds, thats half a pound more than when I startec. Still I know where I have gone wrong. I have m.e and had a few yuck days, no excuse though in future I quit comfort eating on those days. (She says in all sincerety today)

That's a tricky one, but I'm sure you'll know what to do next time. You have a positive attitude and that's what counts. Do you have company on your bad M E days? Maybe it would help. I don't know how fatigued you get but enforced inactivity can be frustrating and depressing. Maybe you can find other comforting things on your bad days? Wishing you well in your quest for better health x

Do you have a particular goal in mind once you finish your journey?

I know before when I have tried to lose weight I am forever doing that "Oh stuff it I'll just have that chocolate today and I will start again tomorrow - I WILL!" and every couple days seems to just be a repeat of the last ones.

What feels so different for me this time is having a goal. I have around 130 pounds to lose - which I know will take at least 18 months - but I want to run in the 2016 Sydney City To Surf and that is 12 months away and I CAN do that if I manage to drop 50-60 lbs in that time and focus on exercising.

And granted its only been a week but every time I have had even a small craving for something bad I just look at the screen saver on my phone or the poster on the wall and am reminded what I am striving for.

It helps to have something solid and date driven to aim for.
