Day 1 went well. Will power pretty good for a change

Bring on day 2

2essie

Haha. You are going to need a whole load more willpower, but well done on day one. Here is hoping day two goes as well

Secondhalf35

Lol I know. Day 2 gonna go smoothly. Need to keep it up for few weeks so it becomes a positive habit again

2essie

If you keep at it, it works. Good luck. You have the right attitude

Secondhalf35

Thank you. Had few weeks of stuffing my face and it took it's toll

2essie

Yes, it would certainly do that. Unfortunately I had a couple of years of stuffing my face. Now I am paying for it. 44lbs down and 14 more to go. Determined to get there.

Secondhalf35

That's great achievement losing all that and I'm sure your determination will do the rest

2essie

Thank you. You just have to keep the motivation going. That is the hard part. The actual losing weight is easy. Just calories in and calories out. What could be simpler? Lol. Anyway, good luck.I am sure you will do it just fine

Secondhalf35

Thank you. We can definitely do this

Day 2 started off in right way

NovaSur

Definitely take it one day at a time. The biggest thing i have to remember is if you fall off the wagon and eat something you shouldn't, the whole day doesn't have to be a wash, just start back again after that food item/meal. Before I would have had a cheat meal and gave up and continued the cheat meal for the whole week lol.

2essie

I agree with @suri116. If I had one bad thing I would think 'What the heck, I might as well gave this, this and this'. Now I have learnt. One mistake needn't lead to anything major. Glad day 2 got off well.

Secondhalf35

That's been my mentality too. Eat one bar of chocolate so then justify eating loads more that same day lol

Secondhalf35

Another successful day.Skin looks clearer already

2essie

It is sounding very good and yes, lots if chocolate bars instead of just fitting the one into my calories for the day. I have to go out tonight to a Cantonese restaurant. Ihave been really low all day on my food but I know things will not go well tonight. It will probably be the sodium that does it but what can I do, we have to live life too. It is after all a lifestyle change. Are you looking forward to day 3?

Secondhalf35

Yeah finding balance. If I ate out I'd probably treat myself but because I'm more sensitive to certain foods I'd be mindful of that as I'm sick of suffering because of food. Yes definitely looking forward to day 3. I hope you enjoy your meal tonight

2essie

Thank you. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be so it was easy to just stick with a small amount. Hope day 3 is going well. You are doing so well. Sorry you are sensitive to some foods, but if you know about them at least you can try and avoid them but it must be really hard

Secondhalf35

Thank you. I hope you have positive day too:)

Secondhalf35

No I haven't counted them today but I am tomorrow. Need to start so I reap rewards of my exercise. I don't think I've gone over today as had less than I usually do. I've recently been really greedy snacker lol
