I'm 7 weeks in to my weight loss journey (sorry, I'm refusing to call it a diet for psychological reasons: if I start a diet then I surely one day end it and this is for ever)
I've lost 15lbs so far. I'm not weighing myself weekly because my weight can fluctuate in that period of time (especially when I'm premenstrual). I'm weighing monthly. That way I can see the scales going down. It's working fairly well, it stops me becoming obsessed by the numbers.
I've spent about the last 10 years on a diet, on-and-off. Jeez, how depressing is that? How much time have I spent obsessing about food and how I look? I've done everything: calorie counting, WW, SW, South Beach, low fat, low carb. All moderately successful in the short-term.
BUT, what I haven't done in the long-term, is address my appalling eating habits. I have a terrible relationship with food and for most of the last 10 years has made me feel rubbish.
Well, not any more. This time is different. I'm taking positive steps to deal with the emotional side of eating and trying to put in place solid foundations: drinking plenty of fluid, LOTS of fruit and veg, eating 3 meals a day and not snacking mindlessly. All this plus moving more.
And not getting obsessed. Easier said than done, hey?
