Hi all
Fell off the wagon! Lost 2lbs over Christmas, which I was quite happy about as I treated myself without going over the top. Then easily lost one pound. Then just as easily put it back on again. I'm not eating a massive amount - although I am, unusually, giving in to chocolate cavings - just drinking more white wine. Help!!!
Lots of excuses. I HATE this time of year. SAD big time. Lots of worries about nearest and dearest with illnesses, some of them quite serious. Husband is recovering from a heart attack (he is only 43), Dad has just been cleared of a similar complaint, aunt is currently in intensive care, which is impacting on my mum. Also, have been feeling really pre-menstrual. My cycles have always been really short but now they are ....well heaven knows and I feel like my insides are exploding. Also, everyone is telling me how great I look and how I really don't need to be losing more. My motivation has melted away.
So, what do I do now? Should I take a break or is this the beginning of the end for the new me? I look and feel like someone I used to know and I don't want to lose this feeling. On the other hand, at 48, I know I am never going to be the girl I used to be. Is a size 12 good enough? If I don't get to target, will I live to regret it?
Any advice would be really appreciated.
