Hi ladies. SOrry you are having a tough time Tange and Mandy. I don;t know if it's any help, but they way I am getting through this, and hope to get all the way thru to the end, is by SHEER positive thinking and newly found will power! It is hard, but Not making it is not an option. Full stop. I love all the packets. Full stop. Water tastes good. Full Stop. These are all things I say to myself every single day. I simply will not allow myself to have doubt. Every single day, I look in the mirror and say I WILL DO THIS. I fully believe that is what is making it easy for me. There simply is no questioning or no struggling allowed.
Its early days and I hope to carry this resolve all the way through. Its not easy - but the mind is a very very powerful tool.
Of course I would like to sink my teeth in to something lovely. But, if I start to feel that way, I just tell myself - I have already tasted 'whatever' so many times in the past. If I eat it today it will taste no different then those times before. And I will eat it again in a short time. A few months sacrifice, is worth more the what anything tastes like if it gets me healthy and attractive and happy...
That's how I get through it. And it seems to be working. I have never felt so committed to any other program in my life, and this is by far the hardest one I have done, so it is interesting i find it easier. I feel in my bones, that this is the time I will be successfult. And I am 110 %determined not to let anything sway me.
When I look at why I feel differently on this plan, which is by far harder then any other I have done....the only think I can attribute it to is the constant affirmation in my mind the I WILL DO THIS. Again, Failure, is not an option.
If I start to feel hungry, I slam some water. If that doesn;t work, I will go have a warm saok in the tub. You just need to find something to take your mind of it.
But honestly, I think the secret is getting your head wrapped around this so tihgt that the only way out is success.
I hope that helps. It's not easy - but we can do ANYTHING we put our minds too, if we want to bad enough.
Just remember - what does not kill us, makes us stronger.
YOU CAN DO IT!! I know you can!!! XXXXX
