Cravings
Cravings are one of the worst aspects of the weight loss journey. Impossible to eradicate, you can take steps to control them.
Success
Success is most welcome after after a poor Weigh Day #4. What did I do and how did I achieve?
Hitting The Wall
Hitting the wall happens frequently when you have an uneasy relationship with food, it’s constant and feels never-ending. You have to ride out the bad times and remind yourself you will get through in the end.
Disappointed
Disappointed to say the least. A month in, it was always going to happen. Minimal weight loss and feelings of slight deflation. How did I address such a crisis?
Temptation
Temptation is all around everywhere. Still managed a good weight loss and feeling very happy with progression so far. Onwards and Upwards!
Movement
Undoubtedly, exercise and movement are great for many reasons. But, as a weight loss tool, how effective is movement and what dangers are there relying on exercise too much?
Celebration
Celebration is a wonderful thing but must also be approached with caution. Look at those scales, just look at those scales! Delighted of course but also aware there is much work to be done moving forward. Not popping the champagne cork just yet!
The Weekend
The weekend was always an opportunity to drink alcohol and eat everything I shouldn’t. This habit was completely out of control. Time to fix.
Wobbles
Wobbles are part and parcel of weight loss. It is a word I will use frequently. But what exactly is a wobble? And how do you cope when they smack you in the face?
Detox
Detox. This feels like a food detox. Week two is going swimmingly well. I’m getting right into messing about and experimenting with food. The changes I am experiencing are startling…
It’s A Miracle!
It’s a miracle for sure! Roll the drums, the wait is over. The first weigh day is always filled with nervousness and optimism. I knew I’d done well but as always, you are never quite sure… How did I get on?
Cracking Up!
I’m cracking up! Not literally but had my first serious blip and this journey is not even a week old. How did I cope? And what can be done about such setbacks?
Eat It
When starting any weight loss journey, the temptation is present to still eat everything and anything. You need to start controlling those urges and cut out gorging but that’s easier said than done!
Insomnia
Insomnia is a bugger. When eating less, I always find I get worse insomnia. How do I approach this and what can be done about staying awake in the wee small hours. It’s frustrating and you have to be very strong.
Ground Zero
Ground Zero. This is the start of a long and arduous journey. Where it will lead I have no idea but I’m determined to get there in the end. There will be highs, there will be lows. Wish me luck!
