Losing Motivation

Hi guys,

It's not been going well recently. This past week I lost a pound, but for the two weeks prior to that, I stayed the same. It's not awful, I'm at least not gaining the weight back, but I've completely lost focus.

While some family were visiting, I broke my detox and ate cake. Not a huge deal. I planned on getting right back into the diet, and sticking to it strictly for a while longer. That didn't work.

For a few weeks now, I've not only been off of detox, but I've also lost complete focus with my diet. I've been going over calories a lot. I've been eating the wrong kinds of food, including KFC Burrito's, Belgium Buns, and Chocolate. I've been sick, so I haven't been able to exercise at all. 

Honestly, I'm shocked that I haven't gained weight recently.

From today, I'm hoping to refocus and get myself back on track. I have a goal in place, that by the end of June, I'd like to be in the 8 stones again, which means losing 1 stone between now and then. 

I need to work out a way to kick the habit of overeating again, and to do that I need to stop going after the high calorie treats.

How do you deal with lack of focus? 

Reward Cake?

Hi all,
Weigh in day today, and after a couple of 1lb losses, I finally got a number I was happier with. I managed to lose 3lbs! I was so excited when I saw the number on the scales.
Then this afternoon I was out with my family and we woumd up in a cafe. This cafe had cake, and everyone was getting some. So, I decided to break my diet for one day and have a slice.
I picked out a piece of Victoria Sponge, which was huge. I could actually only manage half of it, which made me realise how far I've come on my diet. Just a few months ago, I could habe easily finished that slice of cake.
I didn't feel too bad about breaking my detox diet today, because I still kept to my calorie allowance.
I do wonder though, if it's a good idea to reward a good weight loss with cake. Perhaps next time I'll find a better way of rewarding myself.

Weight Lost : 45lbs
Left to Lose : 23lbs
