If, as the section is titled, you want a kick up the bum then read on. If not then stop reading now.
How about
make a decision on what you're going to do Know why you're doing it, make a bloody list Make a plan of how you're going to do it Have a timescale Just do it no mucking about half arsey business
That's what I learned worked for me so far in my 20 years of dieting to date. And it will work this time as I have learned alot about myself and know how to just make choices
You can do it. Choose you're hard.  This is definitely something I needed to hear today...thanks janeg You're welcome gempty. Go for it! |

Yep. I need lots of support because I have a long haul ahead of me. I aim with healthy eating and exercise to lose no more than 2lbs a week (according to my doctor's dietician.) I'm already on me pension so I reckon the undertaker will put my final weight in the coffin with me Just knowing all you are on here giving support helps me no end |

Following suit.. the jolt of feeling abandoned made me wake up and realise that I have been fannying around for far too long and allowing myself to yield to those tasty tempting delicious delicacies!  .. Not surprisingly my weight has gone up and down like a yoyo and it's got to stop! So it's time to turn over a new leaf and get back to it.. and it feels GOOD! Yay! |

Whilst I think that 'telling it like it is' can be a fantastic spur to success, many dieters experience serious out-of-proportion guilt after 'cheating'. This can spell the end of the diet because the shame and feelings of failure reinforce the old messages - useless, greedy, weak, a failure, stupid, fat, worthless etc. None of these apply because most of us are in the grip of a relentless addiction. We have 'lost the power of choice' over food. We can get it back, for sure, but some will never be 100% every day on any diet. Progress, not perfection. It takes as long as it takes.
Guilt is a huge part of diet failure. It's important to remember that a blip is not a slip, nor a slip, a binge. Beating ourselves up after eating off-plan just compounds the damage. For those who benefit from tough love this may not be a problem but it was for me for many a long year xx

Yup...I'm calling time on fannying around too. Time to restart and get this thing over with!

I'm also in dither-mode at present, but packing up the house to leave the country isn't helping me much! Can't wait to get out of here, but in the meantime it's kind of hard to cook when at least half of your kitchen is in boxes and you're trying to empty the freezer and so on. I know, I know, it sounds I'm making excuses - maybe I am, a bit - but I'm so tired of being this size I know something drastic has to happen, and soon! Wish me luck...

I want this change of minis to be a new start, and less messing about! But I too need to find my mojo. Hoping you find it soon hun. At least we have this new place So I've been thinking a lot about mojo lately and here's the definition I came up with: Mojo is the moment in which we do something powerful, purposeful and positive. It is the energy created by that moment. So for me, all the tiny decisions we make every day are an opportunity to up our mojo until it builds into something fabulous. Of course we all face huge challenges and occasional set backs. But the good thing about lost mojo is we can just return to making small, positive, purposeful decisions until we get it back. Mojo is psychological, it's physical, it's spiritual, it's emotional. I guess asking ourselves how we're going to feel about a decision, whether it is mojo-enchancing or mojo-destroying, is a good place to start. Who else has insight about mojo? What has your own experience been? What helps foster it and what saps it? |

Oh I soooo need to get back on it.having been dieting for the past ten years I told myself in May when I turned 29 that I didn't want to through it for another ten years but I can't find anything that sticks.ive been off work this week so have eaten soooo much rubbish and my weigh is shooting up.i don't think people who have a healthy relationship with food realise just how difficult it is for people who don't,the guilt I feel when overeating is way out of proportion and I fear I will be like this for the rest of my life
With the changeover from minis I have changed my goal.i originally wanted to be 8st 2 (where do we pick these random numbers from?!) but I'm 5 ft 8 so that won't work for me so I have gone for 9st 7 instead.i keep jumping from plan to plan but can't seem to settle,the things that used to work before aren't working as well anymore and I'm so impatient that I want results yesterday lol.
Hopefully minis closing will give us a fresh start and we can get the weight off :-)

I definitely belong on here. I have been so good for the last two years never straying from my plan and lost Five and a half stone. But recently my motivation has gone walk a out and I have gained half a stone. Hoping this will get me motivated again to get me back on track and lose those surplus 7 lbs

It's understandable you maybe lost your way but you can use your half a stone gain as motivation, before this turns into a stone gain and then a 2 stone gain......
Nip it in the bud, take a deep breath and identify some small victories - scale victories and non-scale victories.
Just small steps. Do it now!

Hopefully minis closing will give us a fresh start and we can get the weight off :-) A lot of this sounds like me, but without the Minis (was only on there briefly back in 2009 during my short time with SW) I keep jumping and want the weight to go now. I was getting close to my goal weight (only had 10lbs to lose after losing 2 stone) then messed it all up and put over a stone back on. Im now starting to see the weight go again slowly (have only lost a couple of lbs) and starting to feel a bit more positive. Im hoping that once I lost a few more lbs (3-4) then it will start to feel real and I will be able to find it easier to keep the motivation. Originally I hadnt a clue what to do. Should I do this? Should I do that? Ive decided to concentrate on one change at a time. My water intake increased and now I have no problems drinking my daily goal of water (Im working on adding green tea to the 2 litres of water I drink, but its not as nice as hot chocolate so Im finding it a bit of a struggle), I enjoy my lunchtime salads, I absolutely adore grapes (my snack - now Ive actually started craving them). Right now Im working on my exercise routine. Getting exercise to form a habit and something I just do like cleaning my teeth or going to work, something I do without really thinking about it. Then its my evening meals. getting that portion size down, then eating healthier evening meals. |
