Phoenix Rising
Today I’ve done four months and six days with Slimming World, and it’s going well. The weather is appalling here, and we had blizzard like conditions all day today. Eating healthily is a real challenge, and I am very proud that I have not succumbed to bingeing or comfort eating. I am hungry though, I feel like I crave pizzas, pastries, stodge basically. Plus I’m coming up to ToTM, which always makes me really want chocolate and peanuts.
My food diary for today:
· 1 x banana, some grapes, activia yoghurt, fruit and fibre (HEX B)
· Skimmed milk for coffee
· Satsumas x 2
· 1 x banana
· ½ packet of couscous (1)
· ½ tin of M&S chicken curry
· Cadbury’s highlight
· Grapes
· Activia yoghurt
· ½ sweet potato
I’ve not drunk enough water, maybe about 400 cl. I’m shattered, getting home was a real challenge, all transport had been withdrawn, and I’m feeling knackered. But I managed to get home, so that’s good.
A plus point about losing weight – I have a huge amount of clothes to choose from, and I can layer with ease and look really nice. I’ve lost 46 lbs, and I love choosing my clothes each day. Today I wore a really nice red sweater underneath a grey jacket with a black skirt, and felt warm and cosy and also attractive. I know I have a long journey, but I’ve come far enough that there’s a definite difference.
I am fearful of losing my way, and I want to acknowledge that it’s likely that I will fall off the wagon. I am looking at that possibility with my eyes wide open, and devising strategies to make sure that I don’t make this part of my ‘all or nothing’ personality. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about being tenacious and not letting go of my progress.
I know that the odds are terrifically bad for losing weight and maintaining weight loss – 2% will succeed, 98% will not. That’s a rubbish statistic, but I think that I can beat those odds provided I use every thing in my arsenal to achieve it. I want to lose weight more than anything else, and I know that I can do this. Slow, steady, determined, committed. And my sweet baked potato smells wonderful!
