Fact - it takes time to lose weight - it will not come off overnight & may take years to lose. Daunting prospect? The answer is to change your thinking - get rid of the 'dieting' mentality, like saying 'I've failed' should you gain half a pound one week. You have to keep going! It's the long term changes you need to focus on, because once you've managed to lose a substantial amount of weight, the really hard work begins - staying there!
Take what happened to me last week. My daughter took me & her nan out for aternoon tea. I had a lovely jasmine tea & ordered carrot cake with it - I think I got the whole cake! The doorstop slice would have fed a family of 4! So I gave it my best shot (it is my favourite cake) & managed about 3/4 of it - educated guess - 1,000 calories - yes it really was that big!!
But my point is, I allowed myself to eat it & enjoyed it. Then I had a very light snack for dinner & upped my exercise the next day. It's life, it happens & you have to learn how to deal with it to keep your weight stable.
Happy healthy eating!
