Have stumbling blocks like this??
I have not told anyone this... because I needed to get through it.. but now realise I have got over my biggest hurdle!
Every time I have been on a diet for as long as I could remember, I have never got to my 6th week!
I have never worked out exactly why... but as week 6 approached, i would panic, and sabotage all my efforts.
I think it might have had something to do with the fact that I would start to see changes in the way I looked and suddenly panic... after all I have been big for so long, that was what was safe and familiar to me.
Soooo anyway,,, last week was week 5 for me.... and I did get all the anxieties flooding back... I have seen big changes in my body and was so scared that it would go all pear shaped... but this time I never actually felt that i would go off plan.
Now I am coming to the end of week 6 and the last 2 days have been really traumatic for me and it was only yesterday after I wrote my blog that i realised that I have gone and beaten my 6 week Gremlins....
I just really know that at long last I really am happy for these changes to be taking place and feel strong enough at last to take control of my life...
The reason I am saying this, is because sometimes people PM me or message me elsewhere and tell me that I am so strong, and that they wish they were this strong, but the truth is, I am not strong! I struggle like everyone else and have my demons too.... But I now know that the only way to beat the demons, is to embrace them, look them in the eye and tell yourself that you just don';t need them anymore....
I now feel really positive again...
But am interested if anyone else has a particular number of weeks or a particular weight that often causes a psychological issue for them or causes them to fall off plan?
