Tomorrow is going to be the start of a new me......
Positive thinking is what we need, if we slip up so what we get straight back on to our sensible eating we do not wait until the following day. Good luck to everybody.
I hope you're still with the sensible eating plan, Coffee Queen?
My mother always used to say "Never put off til tomorrow what you can do today" and it's so true! When you say "tomorrow will be the start of a new me..." you're already putting it off. It's an excuse hunny! And yeah, if you have a bit of a slip up, don't fret over it. Put it behind you and just get back on the wagon. Don't use it as an excuse to think "sod it, what's the point?" and fall off the wagon big style.
I'm not trying to have a pop at you because I was in the same boat for over 5 years. I was always going to start a diet but never quite managed it, always putting it off until the next week, the next day, after the weekend, after the holiday etc. etc.
Is the thought of your holiday in October not enough to give you the motivation to do it? Reading between the lines of what you've said in your various posts, I don't think you're ready to take the bull by the horns and go for this properly. You need something to shock you into it. If the holiday's not enough, what about getting someone to take some photos of you and maybe that would help?
I'm tall too, always thought I could carry it well due to my height and genuinely didn't believe I looked as bad as I did. When a photo was particularly unflattering, I kidded myself that it was just a bad angle whereas the reality was I really looked like that. It was not until I got onto the scales on 1st Jan, the first time I had done so in years and years, that the true horror of what I'd done to myself made me feel absolutely disgusted with myself. I was disappointed and angry that I had let myself get to the heaviest I had ever been - 19 stone 3lb. I decided in that instant that I could not carry on and was going to do something about it once and for all.
I still have chocolate biscuits, just occasionally rather than every day and maybe 2 rather than half a packet :8855:
I still have a glass of wine or some fresh bread, but perhaps only once a week. There are ways and means of dieting without depriving yourself. Life is too short to be miserable, living on a bowl of soup and a lettuce leaf. Get out there and start exercising too, you'll feel so much better for it.
