WHEN THINGS GET TOUGH...
Hi all, thought to discuss when things get tough... how to cope? firstly, well done on all your achievements that you have done so far, ...
Weight loss is not something to look at lightly it is a journey I do believe everyone has a different one and for some it is far more easier than others, some are born with it and others well they have to work a little harder unfortunately : (
I also now have taken some time to think about what I would like to tell you all
I know when I attended a certain group how it felt being put down when all I wanted was support and help and answers on how they are finding it so easy and me struggling deep down my thoughts were always on food - I find out I am a comfort eater and that is such a hard thing to cope with in itself I wish I could just tell my mind to STOP and just do something different but it is super difficult
I have done some research lately and here is what I have found out about when things get a little tough for you or someone you know who is struggling
when you are wanting something sweet try eating chewing gum that is nice and strong
try drinking some water or diluted squash as sometimes you are actually not hungry but thirsty
try going for a walk or doing something to distract you if you can
when watching a film, keep healthy snacks at hand ie carrot sticks etc
try eating something sour ie a gherkin
I have tried all of the above when my weight loss plans were up to standard and they did seem to help but my plan is to try again even when things are getting hard, I will now try again and see where I can go to get where I would like to xxx
