Thread: Confessions of a loser...

Hey guys!
Was in work all day yesterday so I didnt get chance to post anything!
Ive been really good with my meals, been having loads of healthy slimming world stuff! But I just havnt got the will power lately to resist things sometimes like the odd bit of chocolate etc. Im disappointing myself to be honest! I dunno why im doing it because I want this weight loss more than anything!
Call me crazy but ive been looking into weight loss mantras and I came across this on another forum....
How To Manage Hunger & Thirst: Meditation For Weight Control - YouTube
im going to give it ago! Maybe it will stop me from making them stupid mistakes!

Ur doing really fab so keep it up, I pick at unhealthy stuff all the time it's terrible! Just bad habits! Some people on here do pod things which u listen to when u sleep and they seem to do the trick. Have a good day xxx

I know the feeling, the past 1month I haven't had huge losses because I kept picking at little bits thinking ''it will do no harm'' and eating crisps again... big mistake! I got weighed in yesterday and after only losing 1.5lbs and being 1lb away from my 4stone award, I felt really annoyed with myself for not trying properly.
I am going to try and do alternative red/green days, I find doing EE makes me go off plan easier I find it hard especially when I go out into town with friends, they all go into McDonalds or somewhere and I feel like I am obliged to eat the same as them. You are doing fab Rach, especially when you are busy with uni. work! You will get there as long as you don't give up xx

Well I lost 1lb last week after a 100% week last week and have had another 100% week this week even keeping syns low as I went out Friday and my scales aren't showing any loss group tonight tho so will see. Was saying on my diary last week tho with still being off work with this bad back I dunno if that's affecting my losses. Just a bit frustrating tho! X

Thats exactly how ive been! I think cause I lost that weight so quickly im like mentally saying to my self "oh youve lost all that weight you can afford to have some chocolate!" I need to stop it.

You may not have been 100% perfect but youve still given up or said no to temptation to loose that one and a half pound! Its a new week, you can start a fresh
Thank you! You will get there too! We need to stay strong! xx

Well done hunny! Your getting there Good luck with going back to work xxx

RIGHT GUYS....
Ive made a decision to start from scratch. Meaning im starting tomorrow as it is my very first day on slimming world so im going to use my weight today as my starting weight. Im doing this because when I look at my chart and see that the line hasnt dropped much since April it really demotivates me. Hey, I lost 4 stone 8.5 lbs in the first half of the year! I need to just keep in mind that thats amazing and stop putting myself down thinking about what I could have lost! So resetting all my things brand new and in the second half of the year im planning to loose 3 stone 4.5 lbs to loose my 8 stone by christmas.
Im hoping this will give me the big kick up the back side I need. Just trying all new thinks lately to try and get my slimming world mojo back.
If you would have said to me the day I started slimming world that in 6 months I would have been under 20 stone I would have never believed you and if you told me id be under 18 and a half stone I would tell you youre demented! I just need to keep focused on how well ive done and on how well I could do from now on rather than putting myself down over the last couple of silly months ive had!
I got weighed in tonight guys... 3 and a half pounds off and im really happy with it! As you know, last week I didnt get weighed and I could kick myself really because I was an absolute slimming world angel that week but this week, with not getting weighed and going to the concert, ive been faffing about! So I think I must have lost a load of weight the first week and then the second week ive put a couple back on.
Setting myself new goals and targets to keep me focused and motivated
I WILL be skinny!
Heres my weight loss pics so far

I am devastated that my boobs are disappearing haha I will be treating myself to a boob job when I reach target I think! Maybe a bum job too... haha

Good plan uve done so fab so far and u can get to lose that 8st by xmas! Good to see uve got ur motivation fully back. I lost 2 yesterday and then went over syns yesterday so annoyed with myself! I need to go back and do things simple again and try different things so I'm with u on the basics! Xxx

You deserve a treat now and again! Just dont do what I did and do it all the time! Back on track today and you will get your target soon Your doing and looking fab! xxxx

im going to TRY and make the commitment of posting on here everything ive ate after ive ate it to give me another reason not to be naughty! ive decided to fight my temptations by jotting down all reasons I SHOULD eat, lets say, chocolate in a minute and then all the reasons why I SHOULDNT eat the chocolate in under a minute and im hoping this will help me to realise it really isnt worth being naughty! Haha im going crazy with all of these little tricks! I will be getting sectioned soon lol. Oh yea the mantra thing didnt last long.... I couldnt remember how it goes like so I couldnt do it through the day while I was at work!
Any how... Ive just ate for my lunch (didnt have breakfast as I didnt get a break in work) half a bag of white rice with a sauce that I made (which is fry lighted diced lean bacon, loads of mushrooms and a tin of chopped tomatos, added in salt and pepper, garlic and onion powder and some parsley and basil... its gorgeous and simple!) Full of super free and I will deffinatly be filled up until dinner time! Oh ive had an apple too
xxxx

Im going to do this when I get naughty temptations by the way! Before I put them in my mouth and ruin my hard work! xxx

You have done really well so far Rachael, remember that! I hope that having a fresh start helps re-motivate you. I changed groups so I could stay to the meetings, as I worked Thursday evenings so I didn't have the time.. my new leader is so much more friendly and helpful, as are the women who go to the group.. There is a handful who have lost over 6+ which is nice, my other group was full of women wanting to lose 1/2 - 1stone, much nicer to get advice off people who are in the same situation as you. If I feel like I have a craving to eat something like chocolate, I've painted my nails, taken a bath or gone for a short walk.. xx
