Thilesha- Журнал, 14 июн 21

Hi Thilesha ❤️ ah hun, I know how it feels. I think (maybe if you like me), what's happening right now is you had your graduation period, where you totally deserved the celevration, but you've viewed it as "I've fallen off the bus", and now you putting pressure on yourself to "get back on the bus", which also causes stress and at the same time this feeling of "oh well I've failed today so I might as well carry on". I really think you putting so much pressure on yourself. What has helped me in the past is setting a date - take all the pressure off maybe until June 30th, amd set yourself a date, I will start on July 1st (or Monday etc etc), until that date you really need to make a focused effort to *not* think about "I need to lose weight" or any variation there of. Eat what you like, but don't put pressure on yourself to over indulge (I need to eat this now because in 2 weeks i can't), or under indulged (oh I can't have this it will make me fat) - I really think you need a mental break from it. It sometimes does wonders even if you feel like now I've had a set back I have to start again - because the mental game of this is just as hard as the physical side. Just live for a little, love yourself, be kind to yourself, enjoy yourself, and then you can tackle it again when you've had a chance to breathe - this is after all a lifestyle and a long term change, and if mentally you aren't there right now, "bullying yourself" in to it doesn't help. This is what I've done recently. I remember you were diagnosed with some depression, for me I lost a family member very close to me - your mental health is more important and I think you just need to step away from the pressure of this, enjoy and live yourself, and then you definitely will make it back when you are ready ❤️ 

The key focus here would be to take the necessary mental break - because I think even though you might have continued for a bit without counting calories etc, a key thing you are feeling is guilt (or maybe I am over analysing it), just get that feeling from your post. You have nothing to feel guilty about - enjoy this transition period from graduate to working and settling in to that routine - I think for many of us this is a life long commitment to health, and eventually "being tuin" will not be your main focus, being healthy will ❤️ 

Being thin sorry not being tuin 

Calorie count, that way you can eat those yummy snacks and meals when you feel you need to and cut down on your portion sizes for the rest of the day. It’s about what you do most of the time not the exceptions that makes a difference. You can do it, just set yourself a calorie goal and stick to it as close as you can each day 

Also sometimes the ‘all or nothing’ mentality can be overwhelming when you’ve lost your groove. Slow starts- maybe not drinking your calories, maybe saying Mon-Thur no sugar and weekends you can have a treat etc. The way ‘back’ is often many small decisions. Also for me weighing and recording my Weight every day helps me remain accountable. 

Remember why you started and start making small commitments again. Like drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning.. Replacing all drinks maybe with water for now. I remember you journaled once that you did Zumba if I'm not mistaken..Maybe do 10 minutes of that for 3 days this week. Practice gentleness.. One thing I do is I stop looking at the mirror for a while or the scale, since you have one...and after two weeks , just look to see how much progress you've made. You can do this though for real. You've already done so much..Keep going strong. 

You can google protein muffin recipes, they help a lot when you're feeling snacky. Serving size is generally 3-4 muffins and the calorie count is almost nothing.

@WaistAway87 -- your message is spot on. I am definitely feeling like I've fallen off the wagon altogether. I remember feeling so in control, and now food seems to be on my mind all the time, not because I'm hungry, but because I'm anxious of being around it.. I managed to kind of be "healthy" last night, but caved and still had a creamy cup of milo before bed. Baby steps tho. I've just recently had someone tell me that I've gained weight.. and instead of that motivating me, it kinda destroyed me.. and I went into full on binge mode. Your support is always appreciated, especially since I know you've had a tough couple of months too.. thank you for your insight. I know you're doing great, your prawns looked amazing BTW. 👏 ❤❤❤❤❤❤ 

@nmvsd - thank you so much for your advice. I have always calorie counted, it's just now I'm in binge mode and I can't seem to break away from it. I'm not sure why.. I did only go over my calories by 50kcal yesterday, so I think that's worth something 😂😂😂😂❤ 

@jespes26 - 100% agree with you. Yesterday I had to have some milo and chips. Tried to keep the portions small so that it didn't lead to a binge. I used to be so disciplined.. not sure what's happening now. 😕 

Wanderlustee - always LOVE your advice. I did do Zumba, haven't done it in forever because of so many reasons and excuses. I did say I would try it today again. Thank you so much for all of your advice and constant support. Glad to see you consistently winning in this journey 🙌🥰❤ 

Devinekay- this sounds like a good idea. Will have a look at the protein muffin recipes and let you know when I've tried them. Thank you so much 💓 

Jono - thanks so much. Will definitely be in contact 👌 

To get back on track... Go back to WHY YOU STARTED... For me it was not being able to do things with my son. Always sitting on the side line and watching others play tennis with him, or rugby, or cycle or whatever. I was a useless friend to my son. If it wasn't Playstation or something passive I was "out". Now I'm running, cycling and playing. Even until my son's "steam is blown out"... REMEMBER WHY YOU STARTED... 

@Thilesha, A great way to try and keep yourself accountable for that 10 minutes or glass of water is journal it on here...It will keep you accountable. Thank you for the message of support 😊...Small consistent changes are the way to go... we're here for you👏❤️💪 

60 clients WOW and he actually has time to take on more. Amazing. Guess free advertising is working for him. 

Hey Thilesha, hugs 🤗  

@LCFF - I know right. On another post they explained how to report this spammed,because it's happening on all the posts now, and even a dummy "brother" account 

So good to hear from you LCFF. ❤ HOPE you are well.
