So i missed out last week's weigh in post as i gained 1lb and was drowning my sorrows in a tub of Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough. After 7 week's it really has hit home how hard it really is to lose weight and to motivate yourself to reach for the Strawberries rather than the Turkish Delights. However, i feel like i have came so far in the last eight week's losing a total of 8.5lbs which for someone who has been a yo-yo dieter for over 10 years i do feel is a huge achievement. Its more about changing the way you look at food and swapping out junk for semi healthier options which i do in most cases - however, the chinese is always calling my name and that is where i find it a lot harder to say no to. After coming home from a crap day at work and cooking for myself just does not sound appealing so i eat take-out. Which, is something i am trying hard to change. So after my 1.5lb gain over Week 6 & 7 i thought about how i want to look for my holiday and i feel

Not gonna write a lot this week - had another really bad week with no sort of plan as to what i was going to eat so ended up putting on 0.5lbs! Not shocked about this but I do think it has been the kick up the butt i needed to really push it this week and not use all my Syns and actually eat free foods rather than the junk and McDonalds I've been eating. So another week i am starting fresh - lets see if this can be better than last... Target Weight - 1 Stone and 3.5lbs to lose before my Holiday in June!
