New starter anxieties! Anyone else have them?

[LolaTheShowgirl]

I 're'-started the weight watchers points diet on Friday but this time I won't be actually attending the actual weight watchers as I have all the books etc from previous attempts and there isn't one in my area anymore. I have done this one before and lost a stone before falling off the bandwagon and regaining all the weight and more besides. I am 21 stone at the mo and would like to get to between 10 - 12 stone ideally.

Now, I know i'm only on day 3 but i'm so proud of myself. I'm doing so well and resisting all high calorie temptations and not even using all of my points because i've simply not been hungry but what I'm really terrified of falling off the diet, that my willpower will let me down as it has done so many times before. I was just wondering if anyone else had these worries in the first few weeks but still managed to keep on the straight and narrow and successfully lose?

I'm on slimming world but i've found that the only way to stay on the wagon is to plan everything meal wise in advance.

My husband works nights so I really struggle against temptation once he is at work and the kids are in bed. I make sure that I eat later - ie 8pm rather than 5pm with the kids. That way i'm too full to pick.

If it's really bad I go upstairs to watch telly just so that there is some distance between me and the fridge

Written down like you have in your post your target must seem a long way away. I've broken down my goals into half stone packages and then I treat myself with every half stone loss. Next week if I get to my stone I'm going for a 90min massage.

Good luck and best wishes

Thanks for your advice Nikki! I've broken my goals down to per stone and as an incentive my mum said she'll take me for a (healthy) meal for each stone I lose so that's something to look forward to and i'm also looking forward to dropping dress sizes and being able to buy my jeans in a lower size every few months!

Good luck to you too! We can do it!
