I need this! It's taken me four months to lose 9.5lbs, pathetic I know. I hate my body but I just keep eating, my losses are so slow. I exercise a lot as well which is even worse, imagine how much I must be eating to be losing 3lbs a month...someone give me a kick up the backside please! Don't hold back!
Jeez, fresh meat on a monday morning after a weekend with 5 hours sleep in it...you must be mental
Firstly I've always advised people with dodgy user names to change them to something positive - yours already is, but you don't walk the walk do you
I've seen your sort come and go on this thread, those that hang seem to get a grip and get on with it, fear of failing and having the world scoff at you is the most powerful motivational tool there is.
you've found it, you gonna use it?
I'll tell you something for nothing, 9lb in 4 months is just an awful, demotivating thing in itself - you are either enjoying your life as is (which is fine), in acceptance of your image or more likely, woefully indisciplined and inside screaming for help
We'll help, but that comes with a price tag. You need to pay in effort, willpower and honesty
I don't have all the answers (in fact I rarely have any) but what I will do is offer to tell you that the way you are going will mean you will soon fall off. You need a motivaitonal drop in weight desperately and you need to give this FOUR WEEKS
plan your plan, whatever your plan is and plan to lose 8lbs by 9th August. Plan this today. Not tomorrow, not next wednesday, right now.
Write down everything you will eat and drink. Forward plan your social diary/events/festivals/etc etc and PLAN to AVOID PITFALLS
you will lose the 8lb, you can't not
a few tips
1) log in to TL thread every day and ignore everything else - you don't need other threads telling you that it's "ok never mind - just start again tomorrow"
2) ditch alcohol completely, my thoughts are well documented on the demon
3) constant, slightly painful pressure on yourself will pay off in a fortnight
4) reduce the exercise - you are exercising a lot and eating to keep up with it - start the other way around - sort the grub first, then exercise - 80% of success will be diet, the exercise is 20% of the battle - I still lose some weeks when my exercise efforts are woeful
5) listen to the ladies here who know the score on the different diet plans - I don't
6) conquer your mind. your hands put the food in your mouth. Get your mind to control your hands. your disciplined side will soon win 99% of the small battles.
thats enough for now, you can take all this and run with it, you can read it and say FRO and do your own thing, or you can sit and cry about the 9lbs in four months and wonder where you went wrong and if it will ever go right
you can choose to change your nonsense right now if you like
alternatively log on in a month and tell us you've lost another half a pound, YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!
