Yes keep focused! The amount of times I've wanted to lose weight for something and let my greedy, lazy need for food take precedence....I've booked holidays over three months in advance and thought 'I'll easily lose weight for that' and before I know it, its a month before, then 2 weeks before, then I think 'well, its too late now anyway' and end up having to buy clothes that try not to make me look so fat! And I always delete all the photos of me because I look gross. I went to a wedding in USA in July and because I didn't lose the weight I ended up going to Vivien of Holloway in London (google if you haven't seen these dresses before!) and getting a gorgeous (expensive) dress that I actually felt ok in. Came back to the UK and everyone wanted to see a pic of me in my dress. I don't have one single picture of me in at that wedding. It's like I wasn't even there.
And my OH was best man so plenty of pics of him -but he hates them all because he's two stone overweight!
This is why I am so determined to lose some weight for my 30th birthday party in November. I won't be at my goal weight by then, but potentially I could have lost 3 stone and have only one left to go. I want loads of pictures of me at my 30th and that's what motivates me every time I think 'Surely one piece of toast/cake/pizza won't hurt.' It will! Yes, I'd probably still have a loss at WI but it's my head that needs to change and I need to work through that.
I'm only 12 days in, so in a couple of weeks I'll probably be sick to death of shakes and desperate to cheat, I just hope I can keep thinking positively! I know some people have a 'fat' picture to inspire them -I actually have my 'thin' picture! It inspires me to look like that again, so I can wear cute clothes and just feel healthy!
and if you have a chance I would recommend that you read/skim read it back now.........I think it will inspire you! Because it has really helped me on my journey and I don't want you to lose sight of that whilst you are feeling demotivated.
