Struggling - always grumpy!

[jojojo1985]

Hello,

I have struggled with my weight since I was 18 (I just turned 29!) I've just finished my first week with weight watchers and I lost 3lbs. The problem is I'm finding I'm always grumpy and fed up about being on a diet and yet I can quite easily stick to it, I just hate it and can't shake off being negative

Does anyone have any tips for staying positive and happy whilst dieting? If anyone is going through the same feelings it would be good to support each other

I can't help too much with in the meantime, but stick it out until you see a difference, it really hits home then.
I'm not too sure about WW, but on SW if I'm ever really doesn't it helps to have something that FEELS naughty, but isn't, a tweak of sorts, whatever a normal comfort food is, tweak it to fit the plan! If you fancy a pizza, improvise a base wit healthy toppings, a Chinese can easily be made at home, as can a curry. Even just a frozen chocolate bar to nibble on helps.

I know dieting sucks, you you need to remember every time you're feeling down that you're here for a reason and that reason will only get bigger if you don't help yourself, eventually things will get better, you can loosen the strings a little, indulge a tad more - it helps to picture events, are you losing weight for an occasion? I know, for example, that in 4 weeks I have a wedding to go to, and I will be eating pizza, but I need to avoid pizza till that event or I'll feel self conscious at it! Think small steps!
