It's my first weigh in tomorrow and am hoping for a loss. I also plan to treat myself to a Chinese (that way I have a whole week so it won't show up on the scales!). My question is really about keeping the momentum going while on a diet.
Already I am scared that even by having a takeaway, I'll start a chain of 'bad eating' in motion, as that's what has happened in the past. Hopefully I'll have the willpower not to stray from the points plan, as I feel very confident and determined this time. How does everybody keep that feeling going?
The first week or two of a diet are fairly easy if you're fired up with enthusiasm and determination. It's as the weeks go on, and I start to see results, I'm worried that I may start slacking off. It's exactly what I have done in the past.
I'm also aware that my first couple of weigh ins should show slightly above average weight loss. It's the weeks after that the weight loss should hopefully even off to 1 or 2 pounds per week. This is also a problem for me, as I'm the sort of person who wants things yesterday! How can I stay as motivated as I am now? Any tips, hints, ideas, or inspirational stories would be most welcome!
