I don't know what to do. I'm so rubbish at this. I'm 5'6 and weigh between 11-11.5 stone, I say this as every week it seems to vary depending on how well I've stuck to the diet that week.
Last year I got down to 10'6 and felt great but gradually it crept up again and at Christmas I was 12.5 stone again. Since then I've been up down up down. I just want to get to about 10stone and stay there.
When I say dieting I generally just try to cut down carbs and count calories allowing myself 1000-1200 a day. I try to run at least every other day for about 20-30mins (could do with doing longer but find it hard to fit it in.)
I just have no motivation. I'm rubbish at saying no to a drink at weekends, swapped to vodka and diet lemonade thinking it would be better than wine but to be fair I really don't think it makes any difference! Then DH always suggests cheese and biscuits or pizza or something and it goes downhill!
I'm sooo fed up with going up down up down. I just have no sticking power, I don't no what to do to get me motivated. I don't want to be dieting for months and months, thats my problem, I start, do two really strict weeks lose half a stone and then get fed up and things start creeping in. How do I stay motivated?
I just brought the Harcombe diet book for my kindle and have been sat reading it thinking perhaps if I followed an actual diet it might make it easier....I just love food that is bad for me though!!
Please, please, any ideas on how I can get and stay motivated...any tips, any advice? Sorry for the long post, I'm just so fed up with it today, I need to do something!
