Kathryn, I am just like you!!!!
Hi, I am a serial re-starter!!!! Start the day all optimistic, get thru until the evening and then binge like hell. Get annoyed, count the weeks to christmas, think, "If I had stuck to it in July, I would be.........down by now" think, "Okay, tomorrow, I am back SS will be good, if I can get thru 3 days etc....." then the weekend draws nigh, think "maybe I should start Monday" ugh
the mental feeling of failure is worse!!!! So today, I am re-starting, when I get to the evening, once my daughter is in bed (hubby away for a few days) I am going to have a pedicure and facial, to kill time......if I get thru one full day, then tomorrow evening I will soak in the bath for hours, will go out today to buy lovely blue and pink candles. Then day 3 (that elusive, well day 2 is elusive too). After one week, I will be squeaky clean, with shiny lovely toes and baby soft feet, lovely hands, shiny hair, lovely shaped eyebrows, tidy wardrobe, etc.......anything to keep me busy and not sit in front of the telly. Going out today to buy body brush, ROC cellulite cream, foot spa, and the candles (all in all cheaper than bingeing and much much nicer) in fact I will do my nails every eveing change nail polish colour to match whatever I will wear next day.............
Don't stop now!!!! Your friends will always be there, GIN will always be there, but the days are ticking by FAST!!!!!!
So we can do this!!!!!!
