Well, this is my first blog in the hope this will keep me motivated on what seems a very long weightloss journey. I started 6 weeks ago and to date have lost 16.5lb. I am pleased with this but this week have begun to lose motivation. I have officially fallen off the wagon! I am also struggling to clamber back on!!! I started off with all best intentions but this week has seen a whole host of events that I have not had to face so far on my journey to being the new me!
First - a meal out with friends. Thought this would be ok, my friends are quite supportive. How wrong I was. A few cocktails later and I could not resist the cheesy sauces waved under my nose, or the guacamole dips!!!
Second - a weekend away. My will power was non-existent this weekend. I looked at a menu and chose the wrong foods. Each time I took a bite I felt guilty but just couldn't stop. And that carrot cake did taste delicious.
Third - Home cooking. I can't resist it! It tastes so much better thanthe meals for one I can create. I did resist seconds but firsts was enough to take me over my weightwatcher's points!
I think I look for excuses. I see the problems put in front of me but instead of rising to the challenge I give in far to quickly. Something I need to overcome in the future for my journey to be successful!!!
Writing this blog has helped me to see the changes I need to make and has made me realise I need to take control of my life rather than letting food control me! There may be many setbacks on the journey but I am determined that these will only be minor setbacks, obstacles put in my way as I head for my goal, rather than the disaster I have built them up to be in the past!!!
Wish me luck!!!!

ReplyDeleteHiya, I've just popped over from http://mybodynme.blogspot.com . You've done so well to lose so much weight so quickly - don't worry about slight relapses, you kinda need them to train yourself how to deal with them and how to get back onto it again, they're not necessarily a bad thing in the big picture, no matter how awful they are at the time. Good luck with it all :)
