Okay lovely slimmers! I need your help!
I tried to get back on the plan today, but then we didn't have enough skimmed milk so I had to use semi... I was fine with that, and still going to get on with it... And then I had a biscuit at work, and then a second one, and then a third... Then I binged a bit this evening - not too much, but still did it.
Something I think would help is... Could you all please post reasons why you're losing weight and how you feel on the diet?
However I am going to issue some guidelines! I don't want any negative reasons... So no "I'm fed up wearing horrible clothes" or "I can't look at myself in the mirror" or "I don't want to binge in secret anymore" or "I can't play with the kids" etc...
Don't speak in terms of what you can't do, rather what you want to do!!
Nothing negative, all positive.
Some reasons I want to lose weight:
I want to be able to run! It looks like fun, I want to be able to go for at least one nice long run a week.
I want to be able to wear leggings with short skirts over the top, I've actually warmed to that fashion.
I want to have really good skin (due to a good healthy diet and drinking lots of water) so that I can go without wearing make up some days.
I want to feel comfortable when I eat in front of people, relaxed in the knowledge that they're not judging me for eating.
I want to go swimming! I would love to feel comfortable enough to wear a swimsuit in front of people - even better a bikini!!
I want to be able to have my photo taken, and be posing rather then hiding!
I want to feel comfortable meeting new people and talking to them!
I smile a lot more - it's such a positive feeling knowing that I'm doing something to achieve the above.
My skin is better - Because I'm eating better I can wear less make up.
I'm more motivated to go for a walk, which in turn makes me feel positive.
I feel more comfortable in my clothes and walk slightly taller due to having a tiny bit more confidence!
