I have been to group tonight and discussed this. I thought I would see what you think on Minimins...
Although in April I was only 2 pounds from target, I am now 11 pounds from target, having gained most weeks.
I know that this is my fault. When used properly the plan works. I have proved this myself. But as I neared my target, I felt so good and so healthy that I thought the 'odd' treat wouldn't hurt. Slowly but surely, nine pounds have crept back on and I am so upset with myself.
In group, a few people had the same problem, getting within a stones throw of target, allowing more treats then having gain afer gain and ending up back at square one.
I guess the lesson is to stay motivated up to and beyond target and to see target as the first stage of the journey, not as an end goal. Has anyone else been within reach of target and self sabotaged?
