Can't get started

[Dorsetbrummie]

Hi

I have only started the journey a week ago but can't find my mojo....have spent weekend drinking wine and have put on 4 pounds.....feel like a fraud and a failure

The advisor is going to phone me tomorrow to see how i'm getting on...

have you tried planning day by day what you will eat?

if you have an advisor then maybe best run through everything with them.

i promised myself when I started the 12wk plan that i would give it 100% in my first week. I knew if i got through a whole week and seen decent results on the scales then it would spur me on to do better. That's exactly what's its done. Into week three with 8lb off. You should give it a go. 100% i challenge you, you won't regret it! 👍

hope you can find a way that suits you! Good luck!

Thank you - i will speak to the advisor as i feel a little out of control this week with mood vs food.

Hi Dorsetbrummie

From one brummie to another you can do this! Just draw a line under the weekend and start afresh in the morning. To get extra support post your daily plan on the Daily Diary post in Events on the Home page then we can all support you more. Your not a fraud or a failure, you just had a bad weekend!

yes dorset brummie start everyday affresh, you dont have to guiltrip yourself for what happened before, mind you I am just as bad, remember alchohol has alot of calories, so start by just doing what you can to control your alchohol, one item/step at a time

Don't lose heart! Sometimes it's so scary trying a new regime that you can get derailed before you start properly. Sounds like your advisor could help a lot, good luck and keep trying:-))

Thank you so much the positive advice....I have previously been doing slimming world where i could eat as much rice and pasta as i wanted so this is a different way of doing things. The good news is though, i weighed myself this morning and have only gained a pound rather than the four! Maybe the scales do lie!!!

Last week is just that. History. Gone Don't worry. Today's a new day. Starting something new can be challenging. Keep it up and you'll soon see a difference. We're all here with you.

You have found this forum. We are all trying to lose weight here and we help one another. Why not try the daily weight in and see what everyone else is doing. There are great ideas on there. Also join a day to weigh in.
