Positivity is the key
Hi All,
I posted this on my diary thread but I thought I'd bring it up here to see if others share the same feeling.
Finally weigh in day and very pleased with a 7 lb loss. It was over 9 days but I am very pleased. It also means I have lost 2 stone and a lb so that's a nice milestone to reach. I have lost weight before but there was something about losing a stone and a half, I would then stop as if it was enough. I would let things stop me, but now, nothing is allowed to come between me and my ultimate goal.
Today I feel like period or something, not quite myself, normally I would be heading for the chocolate but I know that's not the answer, nor is it an option. It is the first time I felt like I could crave something, but I don't know quite what. So I had my flapjack a little earlier as I felt a bit hungry, and I will keep sipping the water and not give in to temptation, although there is no real temptation just the feeling of I want something. Perhaps it's that whole thing of look how well I have done, now I deserve a reward. That's what would have happened in the past and it's important I break that vicious circle. So I am not ready to cheat, I am not giving up, I am just a bit confused after not having any cravings or hunger pangs at all, that now that I have reached a huge milestone I feel somewhat odd.
Just some ramblings, perhaps others may empathise with it or may come across this at a later stage and know they're not alone in it.
