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!
Time To Celebrate?
Not Too Soon, Eh?
Losing weight is a great feeling and there’s total delight at the success of week 2.
Hold your horses, Del! Don’t get carried away, this level of weight loss is simply not sustainable. I feel like a football team on a winning streak where nothing can go wrong. The past couple of weeks, whilst being a joy to behold, won’t be like that forever… or will it? I’ll put the champers on ice for now, but this is cause for mild celebration!
Losing 1.9 kilos in a week is something else. I’m on cloud nine but I’m also keeping myself grounded. Complacency is critical in a situation like this. I’m still morbidly obese, yet feel fitter than ever in my life! Given the quick change, I can only conclude that the previous foodstuffs I consumed were doing nothing but total harm to my mind, body and soul.
Determination To Succeed
Slowly, Surely
I was thinking today why are diets and weight loss programmes seemingly set up to fail? The reality is they want you to buy their products and keep subscribing week in, and week out because that’s good for business. We have hundreds of reasons/excuses why we overeat and why we cannot control eating. I should know, I’ve done the bloody lot. Weigh Day #2 has given me much source of encouragement.
At the beginning, rapid weight loss is to be expected, and I am happy about that. Have to confess, this feels different to the many various diets and weight loss programmes I’ve tried. Maybe, it’s because I’m taking a little bit of everything and rolling it into one package which suits my needs. I found the results surprising but wonder if this can be kept going long-term?
Keep Going!
Promising Start
Another small step is my job has become a little busier and more stressful as we approach the wretched Yuletide season. So far, not even thinking about food when it gets busy. Before, I’d be consuming ten biscuits. The way I used to gorge them was bordering on disgusting. Still, looking forwards, not backwards and not even remotely tempted to start eating biscuits again. I’m pretty much off all snack type food and certainly off sweet treats laced with sugar. I honestly do believe the food industry is literally poisoning us so we become addicted to bad food.
I constantly read my own tip sheet for reminders. Once you start eating proper food regularly, eating mindfully, sticking with your plan and listening to a bit of advice from everywhere, the puzzle begins to unravel and the whole thing is not rocket science. Annoyingly, I knew all of this years ago. It doesn’t matter because I’m doing it now.
