One thing for sure is one plan doesn’t suit all!
If I were to give you all a menu and you all ate and drank the exact same for one week I can guarantee you’d all get different results and you’d all be fed up and needing something you fancied to eat!
I’ve had a lot of people message me interested in joining and asked if I give out a meal plan. When I say no, I don’t hear from them again?
But really would you rather have someone tell you what to eat or eat the things you love and just learn how to control it and count it in your daily plan?
It’s as simple as that! Keep it simple and you will succeed! Keep it simple and you can sustain this healthy lifestyle. We’re all going to have holidays (eventually), birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas and we all want to not count and enjoy it.
But if we’ve never felt deprived on our plan we are less likely to binge on those special occasions.
Think about something that has happened to you while you’ve been either overweight, or while you’ve been unhappy with the way you are. Something that has really upset you and made you wish you were thinner, smaller or just made you think right I really need/want to lose weight. Write it down and put it on your fridge or away somewhere that you can look back on in 6 months time.
I have an awful lot of them stories.
The first time I really opened up about this was when I told my story to the journalist for my magazine story.
I once took the kids to Holy island and couldn’t get through the turnstile! I made on I was feeling poorly and went back and waited in the car!😢.
We once went to Whitby for fish and chips and I couldn’t fit in the seat so again I made on I was poorly and didn’t eat, even though I was starving 😢
Most of all I love my holidays but hated flying because the seat belt on the plane didn’t fit me and I had to press that button for assistance and ask for an extension belt! I’d ask so quietly so no one could here but you could guarantee the assistant would not hear me and say pardon? So I had to speak up. I was always so embarrassed and then a few days before coming home start to dread that exact thing!
When the journalist wrote my story and I got the read back I cried listening to it. When the article was published in the national magazines I cried reading it. It was like reading about someone else but it was also a realisation of how unhappy my weight had made me when I thought I’d hidden it so well! I’d paint a smile and say when you’re fat you’re happy! You’re really not! I wasn’t!
Now I keep it simple! I try my best to stay in the right mindset, to stay positive and to turn every negative into a positive.
Even when I get the days when I can’t be bothered to cook anything I would have grabbed a coffee and a handful of biscuits I think about the old me and instead of grabbing those biscuits I make something simple and I feel so much better in myself for doing that. When I can’t be bothered to go out for a walk or exercise I think about the old me and I push through and get it done and feel so much better afterwards.
It’s all a circle, you’re on a negative one and it brings negativity but you turn that into a positive one then it breeds positivity. It’s that simple! Eat the food YOU like and keep it simple instead of forcing yourself to eat what someone has told you to eat and it will work for you.
So like I said before write down your thing and when you get to your target go back and rip that up!
