Sorry to read so many are struggling at the moment. No matter how much a gain is, you need to hang on to the bigger picture and overall trend and without exception, you have still made a huge difference when measured against your start point. Yes, it’s frustrating and demoralising when the scales don’t tell you what you’re hoping for, but that’s when you come to the forum and take strength from the group.
Marsie, forgive yourself for going off piste – we are all human and it’s not a crime to occasionally eat things not normally accepted on the BSD. All of us do this from time to time and yes, we might see an unpleasant result on the scales, but we all have the tools now, to be able to pull that back.
Cathy, 0.4lb is nothing in the scheme of things and I’m sure if you are focused for the rest of the week, you’ll be posting something positive next week. And SueBlue, life happens and we shouldn’t beat ourselves up for these one off transgressions. Why shouldn’t you have a few glasses of champagne to celebrate with your daughter? I’m sure it was fun …. and now you’ll be back to the regime and will be posting a positive result next time too.
Topcac, right place to have a rant and although you had a blip yesterday, you’re still with us and setting goals. Have the Mint Magnum and enjoy it! Then get back to the programme and report a something good on Tuesday.
We are all so much better equipped to take control of our eating and our weight now, than we were when we started on the BSD and deep down we all know we can do this. Accept you are human and will err, that life will happen and it will not always be able to observe all the BSD rules, but also know YOU have made a big change already and can continue to do that going forward. YOU have the POWER and YOU are STRONGER than you think – I KNOW, because you’ve PROVED it already….. all of you.
