Struggling

Hi all. I'm really struggling to get my focus back. I've not been making any effort with my eating or my excerise. I feel as if I can't get into it. I didn't record results on Sunday as I knew I'd not been trying. Any advise is welcome. I was doing really well but my frame of mind changed and now I'm off the rails.

It’s really hard when we lose motivation Murdy1973 but try to think about how good it felt to be in control of your eating, to be feeling fitter and slimmer, and what your main motivation was. You have been doing so well, losing weight and joining in on the forum, it’s a real shame to give in now.

Have a read of some of the inspiring stories on here, (in the topics section)

You can do this! You deserve success

Best wishes

Just start watching your calories again and it will feel so good. You can do it. Don't let a few days stop you completely. Don't give up!!!

It is really hard. We just have to keep on trying to get back on the rails. Keep the faith that one of attempts will be successful.

I guess we all have different ways to get back that all important focus.

For me I enjoy cooking so I will spend ages perfecting a healthy menu for the next few days and then enjoy eating delicious food which I know is also healthy for me.

But I totally get that mindset where all you seem to want to do is eat.

All I can say is BE KIND TO YOURSELF, don't beat yourself (theres plenty of others who can do that for us :) )and just wait....it'll come back to you and you will be ready to go again :)

I've just been through that. No motivation. Just overnight it was like someone switched the off button. I found the more I tried the more confused and overwhelmed I became. In the end I just rode it through. I was still aware of what I was eating and managed to stop myself from completely sabotaging everything. And it worked to the point of ups and downs that kept me pretty much maintained.

I watched youtube weight loss vlogs and read a whole lot of stuff to find motivation.

Then one night the switch turned on again and I woke up ready to carry on.

Don't beat yourself up over it. We've been neglecting ourselves for years. It takes a while to reverse those years and reset our minds.

:D
