This week has been absolutely pants. Started off fairly well with a few green days and I really enjoyed them, might try a few more this week. Then I seemed to hit the self destruct button. I must have had about 2 weeks worth of syns in 3 days. I just cant seem to get my head into the right place and today i didnt even try to do any damage control. It is so depressing that after 6 months I have only lost 6lbs.
I had set target for my birthday and i dont know whether to laugh or cry about that now as i am at least 2st away from target. Am wondering whether I should reset the board and start afresh from here on out, focus on what I want to do and can achieve, not on what I have failed to do so far. I feel like such a failure. The new clothes I bought in size 12 are now starting to feel tight andd the thought of going up a size again mekes me want to cry but doesnt seem to stop me eating all the wrong things:cry:

Been going well this week!! Keep up the good work!! And I would advise you to update your profile to a realistic goal (thats what I'm about to do!). you can do this! I have faith in you and you have Sue as amazing inspiration!! We can do this together! When do you think you could meet target then? I'm aiming for 12 weeks I think 16 max! End of september...what you think?
 
Hannah I'm not sure what to aim for. Would like to say end October but more realistic is Xmas. That would be 5lbs a month. Then I think I'm not aiming high enough & should be trying for 7lbs but am scared if I don't meet that then I will lose confidence in my ability to do it again. Aim for 5lbs & hope for more. I'm going to a health spa in august do hoping for 7lbs by then. Am going to keep mimi targets fairly small and short.

I got a fairly large bowlful but it was like eating a bowl of air. I was starving afterwards
 
Hia. Just wanted to encourage you a bit. Keep up with the planning. I think planning is the key. Try lots of new recipes and plan them into your menus. Keep a check on all your hea and hebs and your syns. Focus on free food!! You can do this!!! Just stay focused and every day decide you are going to keep to plan. I write a little focus thing everyday in my written diary - like, drink lots of water or keep to plan or low syn day etc. Just helps me to stay focused. Hopefully one day I won't need to write it all down so much. xxx
 
Think you Lucy. All encouragement welcome.
