so sorry to about everything thats happened .. been reading through and well done you have done fantastic these last few weeks, i hope your very proud of yourself and what you've accomplished, hopefully the doctor will do wonders today and get you back on track with your appetite, fingers crossed

hey, let us know how it goes at the drs...im sure it will be fine. He might be able to give you a boost in your motivation. You are only human, we all have cr*p times, we have to just pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and try our best to stay positive...easier said than done, trust me I know...but you CAN do it..one thing Ive been told to do is look in the mirror every day and find ONE thing that I can say something nice about...even something small like "my eyes are sparkly today" and focus on the positive and not the negative. Sounds daft but it helps

Hey Dinx, thanks again for your kind words turns out you were mostly right! Doctor said i am putting far too much pressure on myself to lose weight, which is stressing me out. Stress = loss of appetite = making yourself ill - in short i got a telling off, he told me to chill out, dont put so much pressure on yourself and the weight will come off, i even showed him bits of my food diary off here lol he said im doing a great job and to just carry on. Feel a lot better now

Annnnndddd, drum roll please........

I LOST 5LB THIS WEEK!!!!!!:bliss:AND HAVE HIT THE STONE MARK!!

Thank you to everyone this week who has supported me with their kind words xxxx

 

[Lauren301]

[Dinx]

wooohooooo thats fab!!!! seeeeeee...dr dinx knows lol I bet thats made you feel SO much better all by itself!!! you must be doing something right, just make sure you use your points...you have them for a reason! keep up the good work, you are gonna look so lovely in your bridesmaid's outfit!! well done YOU!!! x

 

[Nicola87]

Thank you very much ladies - and i know i really have to up my points this coming week, otherwise my weight loss will slow down or stop as Dr Burman and Dr Dinx advised hehe xx

 

[puggso_32]

It can be a fine line to tread between losing weight and it completely over taking your life, I should know with some of the borderline OCD stuff I've done!

The only real advice I can give is just chillax. Accept your healthy eating as not a means to lose weight but a complete change in your attitude to food, with weight loss being a bi-product of this. This should then hopefully re-focus your brain from "got to lose weight, got to lose weight" more towards "I'm eating healthily and this is normal".

 

[Dinx]

*nods in total agreement with puggso*
