Motivation, Mental Health, & Me

hi all,

As I expect many have in recent months. I have really hit a wall, my motivation seems to come and go. I start the week so well, and by wed/Thurs I feel like crap because I've failed. Mentally its torture. Can anyone recommend ways of dealing with failure or just motivation tips?

Thank you

Hello and welcome, kaiser95 😊

The commonest reason for that pattern is not eating enough. You can sustain it for a couple of days and then hunger really kicks in. Then you blame yourself for being weak-willed when really it's just your body answering back - physiology, not psychology.

Do you think that's possible? Are you being unrealistically restrictive? This is a straightforward plan you could start from tomorrow phcuk.org/wp-content/upload...

You'll find all the information you need about the forum in our Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... including a Welcome message, the Daily Diary and the current weigh in: a good place to start is by joining a weekly weigh in on the day of your choice, and using the Daily Diary, where members share their meal plans.

Take your time exploring. This gives you a tour of the forum healthunlocked.com/?tour=true and, along with Pinned Posts, will show you how things work. I hope you'll become an active member and we will see you joining in around the forum 😊

PS the app doesn’t give access to all parts of the forum so we advise everyone to get rid of the app and log on to the full website using the browser on their phone
