Hi Marianne
Hope you're feeling better today. I hope I don't waffle here, but I was thinking something earlier and it might help...
I've lost 10lbs in the last couple of weeks. I'm now back at the weight I was when I fell off a diet in January. I've thought about what I remember of the last 6 months regarding food and diet. I put on 10lbs.... did I enjoy the food in the last 6 months enough to make that worthwhile? Absolutely not! We go out for meals a lot - were any of them so fantastically memorable that they make the weight gain worthwhile?? Nope! The only things I remember about meals is the often bloated feeling, not being able to move cos I've eaten that gorgeous dessert after a meal, stomach cramps from pigging out on sweets and junk all weekend... I do remember the amount of times in the last 6 months that I felt rubbish about myself, I remember the amount of times I've not gone out to see friends as the last time they saw me I was so much slimmer, I remember how horrible I've felt in clothes shops as I have choose clothes that hide me, etc. etc. etc.
What I'm trying to say is although it's hard, try to think of how you'll feel in an hours time if you eat something you know you shouldn't really. You'll remember the horrible feeling but you won't remember the 'nice' taste as that only lasts a few minutes.
Not sure if that all makes any sense - it does in my head lol!!
Good luck and keep going. Just think how fab you'll feel in a month's time if you keep going. And how crap you'll feel if you don't.
You can do it! xxx
