I know what to eat, how much I need to exercise but struggle to stay focussed when life gets busy. Meal prep is key but some times I crave the naughty foods.. Anybody else getting the focus back? Type one Diabetic of 28 yrs, from Essex UK

    Don't think of it as naughty food or good food just think of it as food/calories. Eat what fits into your number and if you eat too much then exercise more. You got this, just keep it simple in your mind. I never deprive myself of anything I just make it fit.

    you know what kept me focused this time. First, i was at the end of my rope and really wanted to get it done.
    But, i took a before picture in my underwear. i look at it every day.. the front and side view. That, will keep you focused.
    i still look at it.. and i'm down over 25 pounds.. i have five to go to my first goal..then i may do 10 more vanity pounds.. but the change is amazing.

    take your before pic is my advice.

    I've taken a before pic.. It's Vile however it's keeping me motivated so far. As for joining a gym that's my next step but I need to make sure I'll go! At the moment I've got my treadmill in my kitchen so I'm running where the food lives.. It seems to help xx
