What's your Mantra to get you through?

Just a bit of fun and share to hopefully help each other out. And to keep me away from the cupboards!

i decided on "what we eat in private we wear in public" as I am a huge secret eater who has been delusional about my size - until I did my before photos - good god! Lol

Mine is -

"short term stress for long term success"

because I get rather annoyed that all socialising revolves around food and drink and I know this lifestyle is temporary so I just need to get on with it and do what I need to do so that I can enjoy life with my new body and new mindset.

That's a good one, I'm always stressed! Lol

Im restarting day 1 again today as failed yesterday :-( but going string today thank god!

how are you getting on? X

 

[marthacol1988]

I've been bk on plan for 9 weeks. Started week 10 yesterday, even I'm surprised lol in the 9 weeks I've lost 43lb but had lost 2 stone previous to that as have been attempting Cambridge since last June. So 5 stone 1lb off so far still 7 stone to lose but hey il get there

Day one is a killer but when you get through it then that's half the battle. Keep going and you will reach ur goal.

Best of luck with day one and the rest of the weeks leading you to goal.

When you have ur head in the right place it is a lot easier.

I know how that feels with the tantrums I have a 4.5 year old MADAM!

Take care hun! You can do it x

Fab would love to have a look. How do I find your diary?

i have 3 year old twin boys. I would take 2 boys to 1 girl though lol x

 

[marthacol1988]

Oh wow twins lol I would love twins tho maybe wouldn't say that if I had them I'm sure ur days are crazy!

There's a Cambridge diary section mine is called Martha's diary - seeing it through to the end. There's lots of inspirational diaries there! Great for motivation.

You might be able to click on my name and see my recent posts in sure it will link to my diary somewhere lol sorry I'm not being very helpful

Have you been following Cambridge long? How much have you lost and what's ur goal etc?

That's fab thanks. I will take a look I didn't know that existed lol I tried to do it about 18 months ago. I lost 10lb in 2 weeks but I cheated the whole time so was pointless and input the weight back on plus more.
i failed day 1 yesterday so today is my new day 1 and its been great. I really don't feel hungry at all. I'm at my breaking point of the day now though (2-4) but I'm not going to ruin what I've already achieved 'today'lol you have to start somewhere.
one day at a time but I am doing it this time and I'm doing it 100%!

 

[marthacol1988]

Ur absolutely right I started in June couldn't even get to two weeks without cheating but something just clicked in me on Mother's Day actually and the day after that was me. We all have our triggers and one day it will just click. It's still early days for me but I hope I can continue how I have been so far!

You know where I am if you need a chat xx
