Day 454: Can someone slap me back into submission

Morning everyone, I won't say good as I am full of moans.

Why, Why, Why, can't I get back on track - I lost weight so easily and quickly back before Christmas but now I am finding it so hard to find the Zone - I am wobbling (ha,ha) all over the place.

I know what to do
I know it works

What's so hard about it now????????

I am trying so hard to love and accept myself but it is so hard to quiet that nasty moany voice that tells me I am a fat, wibbly, wobbly person

As for looking naked in the mirror

Apart from that I am feeling fine and enjoying the sunshine - how's everyone else today??

Re: Day 454: Can someone slap me back into submission

Gilley, I know that feeling so well! The only thing that works for me is to go back to basics, read the book, listen to the cd and to be honest not worry too much about the golden rules for a few days till the message seeps in again, otherwise it feels like a diet. If I let pmk do the work first I find by the end of a week I am back on track and the rules are natural again. Sometimes its hard to convince myself to put the cd on, but that is the only hurdle really, it will work if you just do that. What I wish is that I didn't keep slipping but a few days of visualising the gorgeous me, and some cheering up on here and I go in the right direction again.

Re: Day 454: Can someone slap me back into submission

Good advice Hussy - I find the book helps if the CD effect has worn off.

gilley, it can be hard to love and accept yourself completely - when you look in the mirror focus on the bit of you that you like best - start form there. There's an activity I get my students to do that would work here too - find three nice things to say about yourself. It's a good starting point!

Re: Day 454: Can someone slap me back into submission

Hi gilley, hussy, chickadee and everyone

gilley - no slapping! We all have times like these - just think how far you've come and tell yourself you are FABULOUS and you are going to be even more FABULOUS. Try to walk tall - it always makes me feel better about myself.

Chick and hussy - excellent advice from both of you.

Boring but true, "back to the basics and follow the rules" is the answer, which is what I'm doing now after my holiday. I already feel better - and lighter, even though I'm probably not!

Have a good day everyone!

Re: Day 454: Can someone slap me back into submission

Hi everyone. Yes get back to the basics and things will work out. Hope this helps you but each time I go on hols I put on a lot of weight as you think "Oh I'm on my hols so I can treat myself". Well I am just back yesterday from a week in Canada, yes barbies, wine, cookies etc and this is my first hol on PMK. I was totally amazed as I really did not crave the stuff I normally do on hols. I was very happy with my choice of food and stopped when full etc and followed the rules. Today I am only 1 lb heavier than when I left so am ecstatic. I realise over the next few days it could creep on as it hits my body but I felt good with my food when I was away and feel I will not have gained too much for the weigh-in. Keep going everyone!! aec x P.S. Missed the daily inspiration each day.

Re: Day 454: Can someone slap me back into submission

Gilley, I know exactly how you feel and I love you for feeling it because it means I'm not the only one. I now have days when I know I'm not following the rules, and I can see how easy it would be to put all the weight back on again.

Having said that, I was reading the FF and MM posts very late last night and I thought to myself "What marvellous support we have on here!" I'm sure that, left to my own devices, I'd be back where I started. It's great that we can come on here and have a moan, and confess to backsliding, yet still there will be someone there to encourage us and haul us back onto the wagon.

Are you getting enough sleep? I'm stressed at the moment because I have builders starting work on my kitchen on Monday. Also I keep waking up in the night drenched in sweat - a mixture of the hot weather and the menopause. I've got a major project lined up towards the end of July and I'm fretting about that too. So sometimes a girl just needs Nature's Tranquilisers - carbohydrates and chocolate.

But it's not a race to lose weight - we can take our time.

Dec, even though I'm not contributing to MM threads I am trying to read them and fit in the odd 10 minutes. Thank you for all your inspirational posts.

aec and Ally, I'm glad your trips went well.

Chickadee and hussy, we'll have to start a reading group but we'll only have one book - "I Can make You Thin".

Thank you all, ladies, for your fabulous, flabuless support.

Gilley
Stop immediately and do 2 set of 15 squats to get those negative thoughts out of your head.

You can do it, just think of today as just one day in your life. Tomorrow is a new day and a new chance to start over. Let's hold hands and take those baby steps together.......

Re: Day 454: Can someone slap me back into submission

Oh Giley, I agree with all that has been said above. I know exactly how you feel.
The best thing about PMK is no one judges, he tells us we will fall by the way side, but we dust our selves off and start again.

My confidence has taken a bit of a beating over the past 18 months, and some of my features have changed so to look in the mirror and tell myself I accept me and love me has been V V V hard.
But with FF and MM support I have managed, and am progressing slowly.

Just so you know that first weight loss does come off quite easily but as you get closer to where you want to be, it slows down, so your body and it's chemical reactions can regulate themselves.

Please don't get dispondent, you are fabulous in fact we all are

Re: Day 454: Can someone slap me back into submission

Gilley can I give you a hug instead of a slap, we all have times when hugging is better , you are lovely , its only a few pounds and if you keeping listening to PMK and loving yourself you will get to where you need to be.
I have told myself that I will never ever be 9st and size 10 again and I am now quite happ with that .
