To be really proud of myself ?

Ok I started a diet today and I MUST stick to it. I’ve got no excuse really.

i just took a walk to the high street and was tempted to go to my fav fast food place and start the diet again tomorrow.

But realistically I can’t do this. I MUST start it today. So I swerved my fast food shop and went to to Sainsbury’s to get tomorrow’s food instead.

I’m really proud of myself. This is such a hard journey and good luck to all of us on it 💪

Well done mate. Same again tomorrow, and the day after that.

It’s these seemingly small things that really make the difference. Well done you for sticking to it and taking the first positive steps!

Well done 👏. One day at a time.

Well done 🌟

Well done! That means that tomorrow you'll wake up a little bit closer to the weight you want to be than you were when you woke up today, and a little bit closer than if you'd had the takeaway. Every small step is one step closer.

Nice job! One step at a time. I'm down 112 lbs counting calories. It becomes second nature after a while, but consistency is key.

Thank you everyone !! Your responses mean a lot ❤️

And yes - tomorrow I’ll wake up a little closer to my goal ❤️

I started a diet yesterday. I definitely know how you feel. I lose and gain the same half stone a lot, so i’m a dieter pro now (yo-yo dieter). I find for me, weighing daily works best for me. So even though its not a true loss, I was 1.8lbs less than Monday morning, so that’s encouraged me to be good today. If I don’t weigh, I just have a little extra something…

My teenage DD has just made some brownies, with crushed oreo and cookie in the mix. I am resisting! Might take a very small piece to work tomorrow. Why didn’t she make these last week?!

Well done!
I always find the first day the most difficult (when changing any habit), and you got through your first day successfully!

Thank you !! Yes you’re right it’s the most difficult by far !!
