What are the words you have in your head that help you through the challenges you face with your chosen weight loss diet.
I have a plan......I am sticking to the plan....
I hope I don't need this one..
I fell off the plan
But if I do it will be this one......I got back on the plan.
Over to you
Start weight 274 pounds (19stone 8)
23/7/11 18 stone 12 pounds (-10)
First goal get under 19 stone (done)
Lose 1 stone
Lose 10% body weight
''Failure is not an option this time, I never again want to hit rock bottom''
or
''I am a good person and I deserve to be slim''
or
''Im sick of food being my best friend, more to life than stuffing myself with food and feeling crap after. No way is that a best friend''
''Theres a whole life waiting out there for me that doesnt involve abusing food and myself''
I read this article about how self talk inside our heads is often negative...I kinda think of it like that gremlin that was on the learn to read adverts.
I am replacing my gremlin with a lovely caring little angel whispering to me....that's another hour you managed to be good..keep going.

Nothing shall pass these lips.
I say this over and over during the rough times. It means "nothing shall pass these lips"....... that is not specified by the diet I am on.

I will tend to my body
my mind and
my heart.
If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Get up and switch it on!!!
Life is too short to wake up with regrets..
So love the people who treat you right..
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
You lie the loudest when you lie to yourself.
This too shall pass

In the end, it's not about the health and weight, it's about feeling strong and in control.
I have two mantra's which link:
Food is not my friend. I am not showing myself love, by overfeeding myself and feeling miserable.
I deserve to feel fit and energetic - my diet is helping me achieve that.
Words of wisdom I received from my brother (which he may have got from someone on here, or may have made up himself...):
No food tastes so good that it's worth staying fat for.
"Every day, in every way, I am eating healthily and my body is getting smaller". (I use this one on my commute to work every day)

"Come on woman!!"
Stuck on my fridge, on a big 13 ( my mini goal stone range) with my weigh in weights written on
And once I get there it will be written on big 12!
"i can do it, i know i can do it, im gonna try and try, i wont give up, ive got what it takes, one day, il be stood in the spotlight on stage in front of an audience" and maybe then they will see the real me, not the funny bird hid inside a fat bird!
(thanks peggy ollerenshaw, we love you)
Brilliant!! Need it....have fallen off the maintanence wagon and need to shift it now and not let it continually creep. If I can go back to my very very old fat eating habits then I can go back to my old healthier eating and exercise habits. I can. I WILL!
Thanks guys....so great messages on here that I have- 'post-it'-ed all over the place. Postivie messages....not self hating ones.
I have an 11 on my fridge now

i'm not really a mantra-y person, but there are two phrases which encapuslate my absolutist approach to the Cambridge Diet:
"Eating's Cheating"
and
"I don't 'do' food"
I'm an all or nothing person, I've found myself an all or nothing diet, and this polarised way of thinking is working for me.
