Can’t stop eating

In May I started the Fast 800 coupled with the 16:8 and stuck to it really well. I gradually relaxed the rules of my fast, allowing myself a bit more than 800 calories but kept to the fasting times. I’ve managed to get my weight down from 13st 3 to 10st 8 but I’d like to get it down a bit more, the only trouble is in the last couple of weeks my willpower has completely vanished and I’ve found myself struggling so much. I’ve ended up snacking and having random bowls of cereal and I feel so disappointed with myself. I’m due to weigh myself again tomorrow and I know I will have gained weight and it feels so depressing.

I’m so desperate not to be that size again. Please help me find my willpower! Sad

Try and have a goal in mine to work towards, mine is a new pair of jeans when I've lost some weight.
Stop buying the cereal that you like too much, buy something different.

Cut out all carbs and eat protein and fat, you'll soon be back on track. Good luck.

Thanks guys, please to say I’m over my wobble and back on the wagon! I’ve only got 1lb to go and I’ll have lost 3st so that’s a huge motivation to keep it going!

This is so inspiring! I've had a similar wobble - I think the last week or two have felt pretty bleak for everyone with Covid news/potential new lockdown etc.

I have just done my click and collect order for this week's meal planning - hoping I too get back on the straight and narrow :D

I'm with you 100% on this. Lost a lot of weight a while back (22st down to 10st), stayed the same for 5 years, but then over lockdown I've got back into bad habits and gained some weight that I'm not happy with.

Need to get back to it because I loved my new body, and do not want to go anywhere near to what I was before!!
