Hi everyone
I started my first ever meal replacement diet last August at 16stone 6pounds, by December i had got down to 12stone 7pounds using All About W8 and said I would NEVER go above 13stone EVER again. However, since Christmas I have been dipping in and out of packs (slim and save due to AAWs issues) and sitting at just under 13stone. For around 2 weeks I had been saying that I was going to get completely back on track with four packs a day this week (after a weekend away) but each day I have woken up and decided i've not been in the right frame of mind so another day will be fine.
Now i am concerned about two things - 1. I am now 13stone 4pounds and 2. Im starting to think that that day will never come.
Im not stupid, I know im the only one who can change this I just seem to have lost the motivation to, well, do anything really! Even whilst not on meal replacement I still exercised at least three times a week and believe this is why my weight stayed in check but this last week Ive not even done that - hence the 5pound gain. There are lots of things I could use as an excuse - if you're looking for one you'll find it - but excuses are what make you fat in the first place - so no more excuses!
This has to stop, I said all through my weight loss journey "why didnt I do something about this when I was half a stone, a stone or even two stone overweight, why did I weight until I was 5 stone overweight", so that is what I am going to do - get off my bottom and do what I know I need to do.
Whilst writing this I have declared tomorrow (i was away from home last night so have no packs for today - and that really isnt an excuse!!) as start day and actually feel quite motivated now Ive put my 'mental talking to' down in black and white.
Apologies for such a waffly post, certainly feels good to have written it down.
Have a good day
