lose 7 lbs

Got it off, then mostly stayed there – then injured myself, started feeling sorry for myself and it has crept back on again!

But I did it before, so I can do it again.

Weighed in at 139.5lb this morning, so am delighted. Not far to go to my goal of 136lb. My trainer wants me to stick in the 140-146lb goal, but if I aim at 136-140lb for myself, I think I can maintain it.

I have been eating out a lot recently, but making good choices from the menus. I have found that I don’t like any heavy filling stuff any more, as it makes me feel too blah!

I may not get the last few pounds off in the next 2 weeks, but I see everything as more positive now!

...although I knew it wouldn’t be easy!

I am determined to do it though!

I have managed to lose about 16lbs over the last year and a bit – slowly, ever so slowly – and this will get me to a weight I feel I can maintain. I would love to be less and have been before – but didn’t maintain it in a healthy way and became obssessive. I don’t want to be that way again. I just want to make my body as healthy as it can be, without going silly. I am having to cut out a load of foods because of intolerances, so this helps, however I believe the key is what I think, as what I do will follow.

I have had an attack of the “munchies” over the last week, which is very unlike me, especially as it is sweet things I’ve wanted to eat – and I prefer savoury foods! I do feel a bit guilty, but I am also wondering what is behind it. Is it emotional or am I craving sweet things because of a lack? I don’t know.
