Back into the swing of things!!

Yay, it happened... I didnt want to mention anything last week just in case my head/body was playing tricks on me, but it has now been two weeks in a row that I have been back on track and have had a couple of good losses.

To say I have been struggling is an understatement. I knew what I had to do but I just couldnt do it. I thought that maybe I didnt know why I couldnt do it but I think I do. It happens every time I try and change my eating habits. I get to a certain point and I get complacent. I start to overeat and when it doesnt seem to make a huge impact on the scales I overeat a bit more. I might still have a loss so I overeat a bit more and then I have a gain, so I eat a bit less but still more than I should and have a small loss, eat more then gain more. It is a horrible cycle that I am hoping to break but in reality I dont know how or if I can. Maybe Im destined to keep repeating the cycle. I hope not.

Thankfully for the time being I am in a good headspace whereby I am excited to see the scales going down again. I know I shouldnt base everything on the scales but they are the only yardstick at the moment until I lose alot more kgs and I can start to notice a difference in my clothes again.

Anyway that is an update on me. For the time being I am back on the losing wagon and feeling alot more positive.

You know I was just sitting here reading that last statement and thinking "for the time being" isnt very positive. No its not very positive but it is the truth. In my heart I know I cant sit here and say that I am going to lose weight every week. I hope I can but I am realistic and know that there will be more ups and downs and it is what you do to deal with that will make the difference in the end.

  2. I am glad you're back Nicky. I started following your story on the weight watcher boards and I check in her every now and again. Don't be too hard on yourself . . . As one wise person says on the boards "you never fail until you stop". So just keep on keeping on and you will get there. Good Luck, Lesley (Lellyj from the WW boards).

  5. hi, I was impressed that you were able to write that cycle you go through, I go through similar cycles but wasn't able to verbalise it. Seeing it written down makes it so much clearer and maybe I'll be able to get a grip on it next time I start eating just a little bit more.
    thanks
