Restart

[LNA1422]

Ok so I have completely lost my way. My weight has gone up, I am miserable and feel like absolute crap. I hate myself for letting this happen but stresses of life took over. 

Now things have settled down I think it's time to restart the 12 week plan and stick with it this time. Summer is coming quickly and the thought of another year feeling that I look like a "heffalump" is terrifying! 

So fresh start from today! No excuses!

Don't hate yourself, life happens and we all pretty much react the same way, instead love yourself for not letting it go any further and getting back on it today xx

Don't beat yourself up, the past is gone and the future is yours to make.  Forget start AGAIN, just start.

I think everyone on here knows what it's like to turn to food when things aren't going well, I do for sure.

Don't hate yourself, you're on here, you've made that step in the right direction and this is such a friendly group, get yourself in on the Monday morning weigh-ins (a great motivator), 12 week plan sheets up on the fridge as a reminder (I've found that very useful) and you can do it!

Good luck!

Nice to have a goal in mind to keep the focus! Portugal here you come!!!! Love your body whatever the size.  I heard a nice comment on the radio the other day from an overweight actress saying that she doesn't worry too much about her size, she just makes sure that she packages it right (i.e. wears nice clothes).  I quite liked that....  

[LNA1422 in reply to Seuzan]

Thanks, it's true what you said about the sizes. I have a friend who used to refuse to wear anything bigger then a size 14. The problem was she needed the next size up.  So when we went out her clothes always looked too tight it must have been so uncomfortable.

Don't worry, coming on here means you want  to get back on track and I am sure you will!

Nothing else to add just want to say hello and wish you good luck 😊

Thank you, yes I am feeling a lot more positive today had a great start yesterday and I'm going to keep it up. I'm off for a long countryside walk today so that will definitely help
