AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!! October already ... Who stole September??
Popped into my Lipotrim chemist yesterday to pick up some maintenance products. Got weighed and was quite pleased to find I've only put on 1.4lbs in the 6 weeks since I was last there. AND I've been on holiday AND it was afternoon not the usual first thing in the morning AND I had different clothes on.
I'm thinking maybe I've lost a little in the last couple of days YAY!!
Anyway ... today I've decided to try having more generous meals in the hope it might curb my picking! On the whole I've been having salads lately. This morning I put a half shoulder of lamb in the slow cooker with carrots & stock and had some of that tonight with half a baked sweet potato. I've also brought some to work.
But anyway - this isn't supposed to be a food diary .... or a weight diary for that matter so I'll shut up about that!
Maintaining is no walk in the park. I can't imagine a time when I'm relaxed and confident around food and what I eat and drink. OR a time when it isn't the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing I think about before I go to sleep ... I think that's called obsession!
When you're in the 'losing it' stage you tend to think when you get there everything will just somehow suddenly be okay. It's a bit of an eye opener to realise that it's only the beginning.
Funny thing is - it's not as if I haven't been at 'target' before. I have! Loads of times! Maybe the difference is that this time I haven't just relaxed and started back on the upward journey. Maybe this time I'm realising that these changes have to stay in place, that any gain has to be addressed immediately if it isn't to be the start of a slippery slope.
In some ways it's quite a depressing thought but as I'm supposed to be only looking at the positives I'll say that it's been 'a revelation that can only help in the long term' ;oP
They say it takes 5 years at target before you're thinking and acting like a slim person ..... Oh well - only 4 years and 8 months to go **big sigh** ....... Oooooo sorry - turning it to a positive .... errrrrrrrmmm "Only just over 4&1/2 years and I'll be FREEEEEEEEEE!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!" :oP xx
