How to bounce back from a bad day

[SandraBK]

I had a bad day yesterday and ate far too much and also fat food. I am trying to put that behind me today and start the day with a healthy breakfast but it is a challenge. I have just been feeling very tired and that is when it's hard to keep up with the good resolutions!

Well down for posting. I think the key is to start again straight after a bad day so you are doing the right thing. Stick with it, you can do it!!

Put yesterday behind you and just focus on today. Maybe just aim to eat healthy and within calorie range today??? Sometimes we need to just give ourselves a bit of TLC- and not be to hard on ourselves. In my period of low resolve for whatever reason - I just try to maintain.

Hope you have a restful Sunday

Hello SandraBK and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum 😊 Well done on a successful first week, that's the most difficult part over. If you are tired I would check your BMI and make sure you are acting enough. If it's lack of sleep look at this issue also, caffeine in particular, 😕

Have you seen the new Daily Diary posts? They are perfect for keeping us on task of challenging days. 😊

Here are a few suggestions on how to get the most out of the forum. Please note if you are using the new HU App many of these features are not available so I suggest you use the full website version.

The first place to look is at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread first and move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you ☺

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news ☺

Have a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as many people have had success with it. Also use the BMI checker to find your target calories, it's important to eat enough. This was a major turning point for me, realising I could eat anything I wanted as long as the calories are accounted for ☺

Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate ☺

The forum also have group weigh-ins every day, as well as a new Daily Diary, if you wish to take part. The posts can always be found in the Events section on the 'home' page ☺

You'll notice a grey box next to people's names, these are achievement badges, and as a new member you have a 'Newbie' badge. We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too. If you have any questions please just ask ☺

Best wishes

Anna
