Good Week

Yes the title says it all, it was a jolly good week for all those who bothered to weigh in!!!

You cannot hide forever people, you need to have a word with yourselves and get back on track. You know it makes sense!!!

Only 3 people weighed in today, Elaine, Emma & Myself. Emma being the biggest loser this week, having a 3lb loss this week.

Elaine 1lb loss and myself 2lb.

Theres no excuse for the others, just do it. Get it over with and carry on dieting. I am here to help you in every way I can.

Right, I will start editing some of my older posts and tips to inspire us all.

We are all here & in the same boat, we all have our good days & bad days. But with Christmas coming up its time to take drastic action, especially with all the chocolate that’s probably going to be on offer!!!

I suggest we make a stand - All chocolate should be put in the kitchen, that way we will be less tempted, and those who insist on bringing in chocolates, sweets & biscuits must be told to eat them discreetly & not to offer them out.

Remember, we are "choosing" to not have that chocolate digestive, we are "choosing" to be slim & healthy. After all being healthy is more important!!!

I think that if we try really hard for the next week or two, sacrifice our Kit Kats & bread, it may just kick start us & give us the lift & confidence we need to continue.

You don’t have to deny yourself your favourite foods- if you crave chocolate, buy the smallest bar you can and limit yourself to a couple of bites, only when you really need it, or feel that you've earned it

We need to think before we make our choices, sometimes we eat for the sake of it or “because it tastes nice”, but we’re not actually hungry. – We are all guilty of that one!!!

Tips

• Drink plenty of water with your meals, not only will you feel fuller quicker but water stops your metabolism slowing down

• Slow down & chew your food more, if you chew more your brain thinks its eating more & psychologically you will, again feel fuller quicker – result!!

• I’ve said it before, plan your meals for the full week & apply this to your shopping list. If you only buy what you’ve actually planned to cook & eat there will be no snacks / goodies in the fridge or cupboard to temp you!!!

• keep hydrated- aim to drink 2-3 litres of water a day, cordial, tea and coffee all count

• Don’t leave the house without a bottle of water and a few healthy snacks in your bag, then, if you're running late, you always have something to keep hunger at bay

Ive left you with the best breakfast ever!!! Remember, keeps your hunger locked up till lunch!! Vxxx
