Hey Anna, best of luck with your journey
Some tips:
- Don't let one slip up ruin your day. So what if you had a slice of cake at a birthday party? Go home, work out the approximate weight, find roughly the relevant points in your book, and syn it. Pull back on syns over the rest of the week. Don't delve into the extra piece they packed up for you!
- Don't let one slip up ruin your week. Same rules apply!
- Keep a food diary, on paper if you want but definitely online. Others will notice things you take for granted - maybe you're synning a 4 finger Kit Kat as 5.5, when it's 2 fingers at 5.5.
- Join a challenge (there's one in my signature) and keep up with the posts on the thread - you'll see the willpower and motivation of others and you won't want to let the side down.
- Take before and during pictures. I upload a front shot and a side shot every Sunday night and it's good to go back to look at the changes. Sometimes I see no change, sometimes I notice my arms are slimmer - every little really does help. Put up a 'fat pic' somewhere you will see it every day. Or write 'minimins' on a piece of paper and leave at your desk. Even if no one else knows what it means, you will, and it will motivate you.
- Stock up on superfree and low syn food items, and don't even think of bringing anything naughty into the house. If someone else buys the naughty food, don't let it get into your tummy. It's theirs, it's not there to tempt you, it's there to satisfy their wants and needs. However, if you can change their way of eating even ever so slightly (Fry Light instead of oil), you'll feel a whole lot better, and so will they.
- At the top of the screen, there are three blue bars. In the middle of the middle blue bar, there is a link: 'Inspiration Slide Show'. Click this link, watch this slide show, and be amazed at the transformation of these people. They have reached target, and so will you. They had willpower, motivation, and the support of Minimins. You will reach your goal, you have done it before, you will feel miles better in yourself, your confidence will soar, and you will have the body you have always wanted.
