I've given in
It's done now. I'm guessing you have that same guilty regret that we all get after "giving in" we wish we hadn't, it didn't taste that brilliant, wasn't worth it?
Even if you don't feel that way it's still over with and tomorrow's a fresh day xx if its what you want then get up and start again stronger and more determined.
I have been given a bit of advice today. I'd like to share it with you too. maybe next time you want to give in this will help? xx
"When you feel like a certain food, Imagine yourself eating it when you're slim. That time will come if you refuse it now.
When you feel like giving up, Remember you WILL regret it, change your mind in months to come and feel as determined as now to start again, probably heavier, and you'll wish you just stuck at it all that time ago - Now.
When you feel hungry and it gets tough, Remember food is not banned for life! Its a short time, a small price to pay for achieving a dream and being happy in yourself, comfortable in your own skin again and confident. Food can wait.
When you feel the weightloss is too slow, Remember that its a lot faster than if you wernt losing it at all. Either keep losing slow until its all gone, or give up and get even bigger right?
When you're feeling rotten and want to cheat, Think about how slim you would already be, with no need to diet, if you didnt do that so many times already.
When you feel like its going to take too long, Think about how long its been left to get that bad. It can be beaten once and for all right now, so you will never have to feel that way again.
When you're out with friends and get caught up in the high spirits, and think having a night off will be ok, Dont. These situations dont stop because you're on a diet, you have to learn to be strong when needed or the pattern will never be broken and the yo-yo will continue. Stick at it and soon you'll be out with them dancing rings around them at your fittest!
If you really want the taste of something, Remember its only food! Is it really THAT important right now in comparison? Happiness and all the things you will gain when you reach target are so much more important and satisfying than that plate of grub.
If you're 'really going to do it this time' and its 'different to last time' then do it. No excuses, no fails, no cheating, no slip ups. Go at it like a bull to a flag and dont stop until you reach the goal. Not having this attitude is the reason you're not there right now.
Imagine reading your diary back when you're as slim as you imagine yourself. You're making that happen right now, dont stop "
