I put on 7lbs while on holiday and I am struggling to shift this in management for various reasons I have had a few things to deal with. I had my cousins funeral yesterday (he commited suicide 5wks ago) and I did have a drink but I really needed it as it was a hard day for all the family.
Now that there has been closure on that I feel strong enough to set myself a goal. I am now going to be realistic. I want to loose 7lbs by the 20th October when I have a friends wedding. This will get me back to a weight I feel comfortable with. I am in week 4 of management but I am planning on being very careful about what I eat in the way of fruit as this made me gain weight the first time round.
I am going to stop picking at foods that are not on the plan yet - bread, chocolates, desserts, sweets, and any others
I am going to avoid alcohol as this causes me to eat all the wrong things. I loose all self control and I do enjoy a drink and I somehow do need to deal with this one but to help me achieve my goal I need to refrain from drinking for now.
I have 7 weeks to do this and I think a lbs a week is very achievable.
I will write into this post on a daily basis as a record of my success for the day to help keep me on the straight and narrow. If I write things down I am less likely to fall off the road
I really liked Cerulean's latest post in her RTM thread as she talks about been in a revolving door some find there way out straight away and others keep going round and get out then jump back in again.
I am the person who has jumped in and out for weeks now. I know the weight I want to get to is an achievable weight for me as I did maintain it until I went on holiday and the death in the family threw me and took away my willpower and the rebellious child moved in kicking the adult thoughts right out the window.
Well from today the Adult is moving back in hopefully full time and I will get this 7lbs shifted.
