Desperate to lose 1 - 2 stone, now have motivation but need help.

[april74]

Hi girls,

As title says I would like to lose 1-2 stone, I have been trying since January, but give up after a few days.

Earlier in the week my son draw a family picture and I was twice the size as everyone else, I said who's that and he replied "you mummy" I said do I really look like that (my fault for asking) and she replied "yes its your big fat belly" all totally innocent, it really upset me, although I didn't let him see.

this has given me the kick up the bum that I needed and for that past 3 days I stuck to diet, everytime I think of cheating it echo's in my head what my 6 yr old innocently said and its helping.

I am just under 12 stone, but every extra lb goes straight to my belly, looking 6 months pregnant all the time.

Not really sticking to any diet, just eating sensibly and not snacking throughtout the day, drinking at least 1 litre of water (rather than 3 coffees) and trying to do a little exercise.

I just struggling a little today and could do with some support.

hi, well done on sticking to it so far i too started dieting since jan although i was off and on like you, i have been sticking toit the last ew weeks and i have lost 12lbs so i need to lose another stone at least!
Hang in there I know it is so hard sometimes, believe me I have fallen off the wagon then put on a pound and been so disappointed that I've wasted a week. dont get me wrong i still have naughty moments but i make up for them by eating less at other meals etc...
go drink some water, diet coke, have fruit!

Thanks me23, my dh is being great, he says I have to set me own target to lose each week,and If I achieve it, he will buy me an indian at the weekend lol,
