Hi

I'm really annoyed with myself. I've been doing really well, lots of exercise, eating healthily, not really losing weight but changing shape which I'm really happy with. I mildly injured my achillies last week and had to spend a week in a rubbish boot which really knocked me as I couldn't run like I usually do.

Anyway, the boot is off and I can start running, gently and short distances (which I'm happy about), but I keep on eating rubbish foods - like cookies, pizza, more bread than usual, doughnuts etc!!! I'm really angry with myself as I'm getting married in 14 weeks and (you'd have thought!!!) this would really motivate me to stick to my healthy eating!!!

I'm hoping that by putting a post on here will help me realise what a plank I've been and stop me in my tracks before I shove another biscuit in my mouth.

I need to start preparing my lunches again, eat better, drink more water and STOP with the biscuits.

There, I've vented and feel better now. If anyone would like to give me a boot up the a** feel free - I need it!!!

Thanks for listening :-)

    Do you remember that feeling... the one after a run where you feel hot and sweaty and great and nothing can stop you? Your lungs feel clean, your body feels strong, your resolve is set?...Yeah, donuts arent going to give you that, just, you know, put them down, back away slowly and go so some sweating.

    There's a BACK ON TRACK challenge starting today for 4 weeks. Have a look in groups.

    We weighed in today and I'm sure you can get added if that's the sort of thing you need.

    Think of it as weaning yourself off those lovely, treacherous starchy carbs.... it's a process, but sooner begun, sooner done. Best wishes on your upcoming nuptials! :happy:

    Be a bit kinder to yourself, if you are getting marrried soon you are probably under more than a bit of stress already and in my experience putting yourself under more stress will only make things worse. If you eat something you shouldn't, just make sure your next meal/snack is super healthy. As you start to feel a bit better with your injury you will be able to build up your fitness again, but in the meantime getting angry will probably only make you want to eat (saying this as someone who has had 2 knee surgeries!). Stick with it, relax and enjoy the run up (no pun intended) to your wedding, I am sure you will be a very happy, glowing bride.

    Just keep picturing the wedding dress ;) and think, once you have actually got married, you'll certainly be entitled to a celebratory bit of cake so it's not "forever"

    thanks everyone - it's more than helpful advice, and I'm restraining myself and planning out some healthy meals.

    I can't wait to get married and am off dress shopping tomorrow.

    As we say in the West Midlands "on it, like a car bonnet"!!!

    :-)
