Yesterday is not today. That was a good time with friends but it doesn’t have to carry over into more than just that. You have that ability because you deserve the results of what it takes!

I get those foods out of my home so there isn’t any lingering temptation. I take them to work and let the people at work eat them or they just go in the garbage if there’s anything leftover.

That pound and a half is likely just water weight from eating off plan and will be gone quickly too once you’ve spent a couple of days back at it!

I find having an incentive helps - a goal to reach, which is time-based and has a worthwhile reason. For me, its my upcoming holiday. I know that the holiday will come around whether I stick to my diet or not - and i do not want to spend another vacation covering up in flowy kaftans!

Set small, achievable targets - like a calorie total for the day - and record your success. soon each day will add up and you'll have lots of little successes.

I also visualise - I imagine myself easily zipping up my favourite (currently too small) suede skirt and feeling great - keep thinking of the results you'll achieve,over and over.

You've done it before - remember how good you felt - less sluggish, full of energy.

Design your own life. At the end of the day YOU are in control of your own body. You choose what goes into your mouth. You choose how much you move in a day. You can choose to keep on track or not - the only person you are cheating is yourself, so treat yourself to a wonderful new slim body instead!! YOU CAN DO IT xx

Food diary! My surgeon said the number one reason he sees people gain weight is that they don’t log their food! Not necessarily daily, but certainly regularly! For example I log 4 days a week no matter what that day brings.

I start by logging my food and aim for 30 min of exercise a day even if it is just a walk. Then I will move on with tweaking my food choice to include more protein and veggies
