My NOW…. Holding myself accountable

Over the last 6-12 months of spiralling out of control with food, I hate that it’s got to this, hating what you see in the mirror… but, posting this for accountability

It stops here, time to get back in control, eating healthy - finding myself and being happy!

Here’s to turning this around! Wish you all a solid week! Little steps will get us back on track

Just about to prep lunch, get organised and ready to start this day 1!

A good week so far, stuck to my calories and go my training done.

Your mind is a funny thing isn’t it, pre gym - questioning if you should go, but once there - you love it !

Certainly found my mindset is shifting more positive and an extra spring in my step and pulling myself out of the rut I admit I was in.

Couple of times you weigh yourself, thinking or hoping would be more, but reminding myself -

Trust the process, it’s a journey not a sprint so I’ve kept the week 1 printout to remind myself, it’s just week one… one day, one week at a time.

One thing I need to improve on is higher volume food for lunches, to ensure fuller for longer. Working in a hospital, oddly there are zero healthy options to buy food. It’s either unhealthy fatty food or packaged sandwiches and not even good ones!

So, need to prep better next week and equally over the last few months, a packaged sandwich meal of sandwich, crisps and a drink is £8!!! And I live in Worcester not London haha!

Insane isn’t it, so money to be saved, healthy options to be improved so very much open to ideas!

Hope you’ve all had a good week, I’ve comfort ate through work stress so want to be open about the battles and how I’m trying to turn it around.

Everyone’s posts, everyone’s positive mindsets is really helping me, so thank you! Have an awesome weekend and sorry for the essay haha.

Nice one, Adam. Keep it up, mate. As you say, “trust the process”. I get what you mean about the scales, and I’m hoping the weight loss will be greater, but this is why the weekly progress pictures are important.

Keep it up, and have a good weekend.

Tremendously chuffed I’ve not broken today as work has been incredibly stressful, middle management so some heavy debates from all angles so my shoulders feel far from great!

However…

I’ve not caved in, I’ve not comfort are!

Stuck to my calories… today can be counted as a win for that and looking forward to try the stress hot chocolate support drink that came today !! Ironic it came today :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Hope everyone else is ok and winning those battles, one day, at a time !

Currently 7lb loss since the start so going decent! I wouldn’t say “well” as fighting a huge amount of work stress but it makes the loss even more rewarding as typically I comfort eat so this is brilliant that I’ve stayed strong

Hoping not coming down with something as achey today! But really feeling lighter on my feet, easier to walk up stairs… so can feel the difference in just moving about
