Keep On Keeping On

Keep On....Keeping On

THAT’S IT!

I am not going to do this healthy eating and exercise anymore, it doesn't work!

I haven't lost anything now for weeks?

So it doesn't work ...have we been honest with ourselves?

I had breakfast from the plan

But did you portion control it?

I had a mini mars bar today

Ye, but occasional treats, not every day ones!

Cheese salad for lunch, grated my cheese it looks like more then, and there is always that little bit left isn't there!!

And what did you do with it!!

I had a latte out with a friend and I always put sugar in my coffee and it comes with those little yummy biscuits, well it would be rude not to eat it!  

You could have given it to your friend or told the staff no thank you!

Afternoon cakes at work, it was one of the girls birthdays. I did share it with girl at my desk!

No Thank you would have worked!!

So busy today treated the kids to Mac Donald's for tea I had a crispy chicken salad and only a few of the kids chips

 Did you read the ingredients in one of those salads with the dressing!!

Made kids packed lunches and there was a Kit-Kat over well I can't leave one in the cupboard as the kids would fight.

 Yes you could!

OR you have been on the bus totally. Sticking to your plan what can be the issue?  

Don't be so hard on yourself!

Losing weight takes time and effort. It does work, and have you considered

Staying the same or just losing half a pound is an achievement in itself?

If you hadn't exercised or watched what you had been eating then you probably would have put on weight

It takes time for our bodies to adjust

Some people lose weight at a nice steady pace, others go weeks with nothing then drop 5lbs. everyone is different, don't judge yourself against others look at your own weight loss patterns

Rapid weight loss isn't healthy

Our bodies cope best with losing a small amount at a time, no more than 1 or 2lbs a week, losing too much means losing muscle, at the beginning we can lose a huge amount but this is mainly water. Remember exercising more and eating healthily will make sure you lose weight at a rate that is good for YOU!

DONT GIVE UP

Keep on keeping on and you will see the results you want.
