That bit above your belly button

2 replies

Addicted2Sugar · 13/05/2019 20:16

I need to lose between 10 and 14 pounds to be happy. I know what to do, eat less, move more, I join slimming clubs, lose about 5lbs drift away and then put the 5lbs back on.
I meal plan and then go off course or eat the planned meals and eat snacky shite regularly, too regularly. I keep grabbing bits of Easter egg for fun.
This week, suddenly that bit above the belly button has suddenly ballooned and is so flabby I could cry.
I suspect that flabby bit is pure sugar isn't it?
How the bloody hell can I kick myself up the arse and it stick. I do want to be slimmer and more comfortable in my clothes and myself but I just keep hearing that voice in my head saying "just have this and start on it tomorrow." Every. Bloody. Day.
Any suggestions, what was the final straw for you?

Do you use my fitness pal?
I find calorie counting the easiest thing to stick to. I plan the week in advance and log it all on MFP. If I want a snack I log it but make sure the total calories stay under my limit.
You can also log your weight on there and it plots it on a graph so you can see your progress.

I have lost 3 stone altogether so far (in a couple of stints with a pregnancy in the middle) and have 2 more to go. I need to feel motivated to do it, if I’m not 100% in the zone it’s a non-starter but once I’m on it I’m like a woman possessed!

I would love to be like a woman possessed about it. I could even cope with being one of those mad women who can recite calories at random (for a while anyway). I'll give it a go, I do have that app (ha what haven't I tried). Thanks and may you be a possessed woman from here on in.
