Monday...

[Georgee1412]

Guilty as charged! I seem to be one of those "diet starts on Monday" people! How do you stay motivated 7days a week without exercise?

Yes it can be very tricky and for more than 10 years I have used that excuse. For me I have had to become a bit obsessed with it 😊 I now log everything I eat into a free calorie counting app and try my hardest to stay within my calorie range calculated by the NHS BMI calculator. When I would usually comfort eat I come on here and read through posts etc or try doing something, anything like even just taking a shower or tidying some things away or even better just walking somewhere. You can do it, make this Monday the day 💪👍

I suggest that you join the Monday weigh-in, Georgee, so that you are kept accountable over the weekend.

You have to stop looking at food and drink as treats/rewards and find other things, such as a trip out, new outfit, pamper time, etc.

Good luck!

Hi Georgee1412

I log all my food on Myfitnesspal and make sure I put everything in there - it helps keep me focused, also logging on here and posting in the Daily Diary is good too as others can see what you are eating and comment on it and make suggestions - BUT the best bit of the Daily Diary is in my opinion - Ssssshhhh don't tell anyone ........ is stealing their food ideas

Wishing you all the best on your journey you can do this and we are here to help support you along the way

Join a weigh in - I weigh in on Saturday's but you can chose which ever day you like - as moreless says weighing in on Monday morning may help keep you on track over the weekend
