Week 3

Where has this week gone?

How have you been? Doing OK? I thought I was until I got on the scales! Only a pound off this week. I know that is still a reduction which is great news but I must admit I was hoping for more.

So where am I going wrong? Am I allowing the odd naughty thing to pop into my mouth? When I look back on the week I have to admit that I have. The odd chicken nugget left over from the kids tea…..the odd mouthful just to check their food isn’t too hot for them to eat….oops! They all add up and I am just glad that I recognise and have admitted to myself what has being going on before it is all too late and before the scales show a weight gain! Lets face it, that would be completely demoralising and I’m not sure how I would cope with telling you lot about it!

So what can I do to stay on the straight and narrow? I think the best thing is that when I am tempted to pop something into my mouth which may hinder my progress I just need to ask myself “How much do I want that fabulous body?” and “Is this small mouthfull really worth gaining weight for?”

A quick reminder to yourself as to why you’re doing this should help you to re-focus.

Remember, as soon as you put the food down, celebrate the fact that you have shown masses of self control by giving yourself a huge smile and a pat on the back. Well done you!

See you next week
