Maintenance is hard hard work and the weight will always fluctuate especially as we're not "naturally slim" the main thing you should take is your still logging so can see where you go wrong. Too many times I've buried my head in the sand. Welldone for not giving up xxx
Ok so this week hasnt been great food wise either. I seem to be on a slippery slope and i dont like it. Not looking forward to weigh in tomorrow but i will face the music I have been better so far today and have made a very conscious effort. The stupid thing is is that the things im eating im not really wanting or enjoying, which again tells me its old habits rearing their ugly head!! I have now planned meals for the week that i will stick to and healthy snacks. I enjoyed the healthy controlled eating at the start if this phase and whats more, because i didnt stuff myself, i enjoyed all my food a lot more. The funny thing is, im still craving salads and fruit but i have been eating rubbish! There is no need!! Line under it and its about what i do about it from now. Weigh in is gonna be a shocker
Old habits are my downfall too miss mac. Nipping it in the bud is the right thing to do. A small gain is acceptable, but thats as much as you want otherwise you will feel like you have wasted your own time. Keep trying chick And keep planning Both work
Miss mac - I know exactly what you mean, why is it that we ignore our bodies? I've made a pact with my body, I will eat what it wants. At the moment it's telling me it wants exante strangely enough but last week it wanted a white chocolate magnum so I had one Sounds like you have recognised your old habits and that's half the battle - well done!
You've nipped it inn the bud though and not let it carry on, so whereas some old habits are still there, there are new and improved ones that are taking over. Whatever the scales say, you have the power to change them for the better - stay strong honey xx
