Keep looking at old photos of myself and focusing on why I need to do this for myself. I find most days a bit of a struggle, it’s not that I’m starving but the habit of snacking and eating unhealthy foods, or even comfort foods, I find that overwhelming. I’m a real binge eater at times and linking that with comfort eating is an bad bad habit of mine.
So I’m trying to focus on how I will feel if I stick to this vlcd for another day, another week, 2 weeks, a month etc. imagining where I could be if I stick to 800 cals of food a day for that long, how much could I lose. I have to lose if I stick to it, and I have to stay focused. I know some weigh ins will be minuscule (I do lose slowly) but I really want to stick to it and really want to feel confident again.
that’s the main thing really, I’ve lost any confidence I once had and I haven’t had much at times as it is! I want to feel confident in public, seeing friends, seeing family and people I haven’t seen for 2,3, 4 years which is when I’ve put the weight on. Even close friends and family. I have one close friend who I’ve not seen in over a year and I do want to see her but I feel so embarrassed about myself. I’ve told her I’m on a strict diet so hopefully we can make plans soon and it won’t be too bad. She’s lovely, it’s more what goes on in my brain. Trying to stay focused one day at a time, one pound at a time.
need to keep going!
made myself a little weight loss tracker, made it summer themed as want to look and feel better by June. That’s my first main goal with a holiday mid June to Portugal after not being abroad for 4 years. Hopefully will help me to see the weight loss adding up even if only small losses.
