Hi everyone I have gone completely mad I keep starting the day with good intentions then messing up at the last minute, I'm trying to understand why, mostly it comes down to no self control and a lack of will power. I'm confused as I've been trying to pin point why I keep doing it to myself!!!

When I started a couple of weeks ago I was so determined and stronger and in all honesty I didn't want to or feel the need to succumb to rubbish. The last two weeks have been pitiful and I've basically eaten what I wanted on and off, I was feeling pretty snug because I managed not to really put anything on today is the end of week 6 and I've put 2lbs on so instead of 16lbs lost I'm 14lbs!!! OMG!!!

So I'm going back to the drawing board and resulting to just shakes and a low carb meal in the evening that's it!! Drinking my water 3 litres and focusing on why I'm doing this in the first place I haven't tried on any old clothes or bought anything new as of yet because I know I normally don't feel a difference unless I'm 2 stones down!!
Really need to start again!! I've only got the bars and meals left and some shakes so re-ordering tomorrow with a restart on Saturday!! Going to get back into the swing of things promptly before I undo all my hard work!
 
I've absolutely been there and it's horrible. 100% is easier once you're there. Hour by hour and pack by pack to get you through today. I agree that a list of why you are doing this helps but make sure you write it in positive terms eg I want to sit comfortably in my jeans rather than to not feel squished into jeans and have this awful muffin top.

Hope that makes sense and good luck. And like Phoenyx says get busy

I have been feeling completely the same way for the past few weeks. Luckily I have been able to maintain but I know I can't keep that up forever and something has to happen to put me back into that frame of mind....maybe a gain is what it would take :-(

I do great during the week and then Friday evening rolls around and that usually results in a meal off...then a Saturday meal off and it takes a huge amount of effort not to have a Sunday meal off as well. Last week it was three meals off!!!!

I don't think it helps that I really don't like my flat mate anymore (long story) so I don't feel like being in the kitchen cooking up my small permitted meal.

Someone give me a metaphorical slap!!!!!
 
Seriously ladies I don't know what's wrong with me, I know exactly why I want to lose weight, and how important it is to me but I keep sabotaging myself, I've been relatively good today so I'm slowly getting back on the bandwagon! Someone has clearly given me a slap...lol x
 
Oh my looks like I'm not alone with getting on and off the S&S bus with my self sabotage....I too know I must shift quite a bit of weight before I can try on a wedding dress much less order it in time...but round and round I go....it's boring me now how often I do this :sigh: xx
 
Don't be too hard on yourselves girls, Slim and Save is hard enough without the added stress of Xmas.

Not only have we got to run about getting everything prepared for Xmas but we cant move an inch without Xmas food been shoved in our face :( x

And all the good things seem to be on offer on the supermarket, It actually so frustrating I start the day with good intention then I'm back eating crap. Seriously I need a slap!! I should be happy that even though I've had a pavlova and cream doughnuts during the week I'm still only 2lbs up!! So still a stone down bought two weeks of packs re-starting again tomorrow!! Boring!! On a nightshift now and all I wanna do is eat but I've controlled myself!!
 
I had this on loads of diets before, sabotaging before I'd really begin, I honstly don't know why I did it, maybe it was getting my head properly in the game. I decided to go drastic with this diet and it changed me mentally, and I've stuck to it apart from planned breaks, so no idea why I couldn't do it before as those diets were easier! I hope you get your head back to it soon,maybe you need Christmas out of the way though? Good luck x

I totally understand, I am also TTC, 4 years and counting, can't get NHS help until my BMI is lower, which it is now luckily, but I have an arbitrary target to reach before I can make the appointment, 11lbs to go! X
 
Good luck girls I really hope 2014 is your year :).

I'm really hoping this is our year too but at the moment I spend more time spotting and bleeding than not so I can't see it happening until I get to the bottom of it. After a load of reading I think low progesterone is my problem so today I spent yet another 20 pounds on vitamins to try and boost it, so fingers crossed it helps xx

I have found the same thing as you with regards to other diets. It's taken an extreme food substitution diet to make me reevaluate how I see my relationship with food when previously I would last a week or two on a more relaxed diet, maybe even a month if I was particularly motivated at the time.
 
Yep cold turkey seems to work better for me too I managed to knock of the extra two pounds I've gained, but I think it's useless trying to do it at Xmas there's too much temptation. Also I'm making dinner for work colleagues this Friday and I said il get some goodies. So that day will be a load of crap...lol but were gonna jump on the Wii so that should burn some calories! Xx
 
I feel the same way. I'm an all or nothing type of person and no other diet has taken away so many of my weakness foods. I think this is why Slim and Save seems to be working for me so far. I have a long way to go though.
