Struggling to get back on wagon after Xmas break

    Hot tea when you feel hungry and just the mental realization / preparedness that for the next few days you are going to feel hungry and you will have to push past it.

    Good start to today :)

    Im feeling positive. Im feeling ready. I have my day all planned out. I'm cooking the kids a meal I don't like so I won't be tempted to pick at their leftovers. I have spent the morning clearing the cupboards and have put all my husbands treats in a box on a high shelf.

    Also doing a food shop tonight and am going to plan a whole week in advance so I don't get caught short.

    I realised I don't have to do this to myself. I don't have to aim for a super skinny weight. I don't have to make this harder then it needs to be. I have readjusted my expectations.

    New goals:

    Goal 1: reach 11 stone. I've been 11.2-11.5 over Xmas. Let's get to a nice round number.
    Goal 2: Get in the 10s. I hate the number 11. 10 stone something is so much nicer.
    Goal 3: reach 10.6...my healthy bmi! Finally into the normal range...this would be awesome.
    Goal 4: Slowly move away from 10.6 and towards a number that is safely into the normal range. I'm thinking more like 10st. We will see.

    Here's to a new year that is about being healthy and realistic...not punishing myself with unattainable goals and not beating myself up if I have a bad week.

    I will update before bed with how today went. X

    I had family visiting for most of the holidays so my diet sucked. For this week alone, I went over my calories 4 out of 7 days. Ugh. But this morning I'm driving the last visitor (my mom) to the airport and I can finally bring some sanity and routine back in my life. I think holidays should only happen once every two years... :smiley:

    Make up your mind that from today on you will stick to your calorie allowance, be determined, keep focused. It does take a few days to get back into the swing of eating less.

    Do some sort of exercise. Nothing makes you watch what you eat more than spending 10 minutes on a stairclimber and seeing you only burned 100 calories.

    It's a lot easier now that all the Christmas candy has been consumed!

    I literally threw the rest out in the garbage. If I can't keep myself out of it, it cannot be in the house.

    I put all the bad food in the trash. My wife freaked out a bit but she got over it... lol

    Clean eating rules... :)
