Bad week...

Well it started woith a couple of wine gums, then a tiny bit of chocolate and now basically I have been picking at bits all week. I am soooooooo cross with myself then I have weakened and now I don't seem to be able to draw a line under it and stop! I have been trying to make up for it by doing extra exercise but I fear the damage has been done. It's weigh in tomorrow and I am dreading it...what if I have put weight on. I am really scared. I am also scared that I will not be able to get back on track...

Please help :cry:

PB - you're almost 2 stone gone, that is tremendous. Just try to remember why you started the diet, and what you wanted to achive and focus on that. Keep that at the forefront of your mind and you'll soon be back on track.

Good luck

IT.

There you go Betty. I have drawn a line under "it" for you! Come on girl - don't let that pesky chatterbox convince you to pick!! Just tell it no next time! And mean it!! And don't worry about your weigh in - if you do put anything on, you will have learnt something about yourself in the process, and then be better equipped should it happen again. It'll be OK. And you can do this. Hang tough girl!

thanks for the encouragement... I am so scared this will be the beginning of the end. I seem to have lost my strength. I am dreading tomorrow so much, I don;t want my LLC to know I cheated but she'll know by my result.

You should tell her, she'll be able to help you realise why you cheated and how you can prevent it happening again.

You CAN do this, a little blip isn't enough to stop you. Relapse can be a normal part of recovery, it's part of the process and if you learn something, then it hasn't been wasted. :hug99:

oooh I don't know...she is very easy to talk to
Do you think I can get back on track ok? Any tips? Arghhhhhh why did I do it!

Of course you can get back on track!

The best tip I can give you is to have some faith in yourself. There is nothing physically stopping you from doing this diet, but you seem to be doubting yourself?

Sit down and make a list of all things you want from this diet, and really visualise yourself being slim and happy. It's not an easy journey but the destination is sooooooooooooo worth it!!

You just need a clean slate, so why don't you aim to get through tomorrow on plan. Just think about tomorrow for now, and focus on that.

Just take it one day at a time, and before you know it you'll be back on track and losing tons again!

yes that's a good idea.... thank you

PB honestly now is the best time for you to work on fixing this - you need to get straight back on it, be honest with your LLC - she's seen it all before and will no doubt have good advice and be able to help motivate you.

You've come a long way and you can go a lot further - be strong and stick with it xx

thank you xxx

Hi Betty

I had a blip or more like a blop on easter Monday, I can try and make an excuse for it but there isn't one, I had just decided I wanted to eat and so I did. Fortunately for me everything I ate tasted disgusting, apart from the crisps. I had an hour of doing things I shouldn't. then of course the cry for what I had done.
I sat down and told myself I was going to think about this in an adult state which I did. And from that second on I was back on the wagon and even more determined than ever. One swallow does not a summer make....(sorry there are too many puns in that) but please dont look at this one little hiccup as a failure its not. Look at it and say to yourself this will make me stronger.

Good luck hun.
Sorry if I sounded like I was on a soap box just then.
