I am becoming a bit bogged down with my 'routine' of dieting. Previously as a dieter, I have planned menus, made graphs to plot progress, organised shopping lists and generally relied on my 'order' to motivate me.
As expected, I have done exactly the same this time round, menus, lists etc but realised this morning that who the hell needs 5 different graphs to diet?? Madness...
I know that planning and recording what I eat is a PRIORITY. I also know that all the other behaviours I have when approaching a diet can be unhealthy this is why I started this journey at 21 stone and 5 whole pounds!! Order does not = thin. So, my epiphany may be obvious to some but I have to get my head round my own responsibility to losing weight and not skirt arounf the problem by drawing yet another graph! Afterall, it's my mouth I have shoved food into for so long now.
Phew! OK, rant over...

Hi Everyone!
I have not posted on here for 2 years and it is about time I did... I have had ups and downs like so many people who have gastric bands and it is safe to say that over the last two years, the weight has reduced very very slowly!
I have mostly stuck to the rules and certainly do not eat as much as I did pre op but I have not kicked the chocolate habit! This was resulting in me binging so I was developing really bad and unhealthy habits and of course, the weight did not move. So what did I do? I had hypnotherapy! I actually needed it to help support me through a difficult examination period (NPQH)and to conquer my nerves (which worked amazingly!) But during our pre session discussion, I told her about my chocolate problem so she threaded this through the hypnotherapy session. And you know what...it has worked really well. I no longer binge, just have the occasional sweet treat and don't worry about it anymore. My current weight is 18 stone 3 pounds and moving in the right direction.
So total weight loss summary-
ReplyDeleteStart weight - 21 stone and 5 pounds
Current weight - 18 stone and 3 pounds
