Sometimes you have to look at this journey in a different perspective for it to work for you. Maybe aim to eat healthy, even on the days you feel bad or stressed. Always choose vegetables and proteins over sugary treats and refined carbs. To be more healthier. I know we have a goal weight we want to achieve but health is what is even more important at the end of the day. Eventually the scale will drop. Lifestyle change and sticking to the way of eating you will enjoy not just for a few months is key to losing weight and keeping it off💖 

I agree with Pascoal. there is a lot of personal growth and learning through this journey. if you see these experiences as learning opportunities rather than failures, you will better equip yourself the deeper in you get. focus on small changes and small goals that you can praise yourself along the way for... that way it won't feel like such a thankless journey ♥️ I recently had 1kg as a goal. it was the difference between 80 & 79kg. I wanted to praise myself for moving into a new zone... it doesn't have to be big numbers - this is your journey so have fun with it. my trainer also told me something once that really stuck. we visit the kitchen more than we visit the gym, so make each visit count the same you would when you workout 🥊 

Thank you so much Pascoal and Shereen. This journey seems mountainous. I really appreciate the fact that there are people out there who are also on the same path and are not giving up! I am bck on the wagon tonight :)  

Keep going 💪🏻you got this💪🏻 

You might benefit from scheduling a cheat day on which you can break your diet but in exchange you have to exercise more. This has helped me tremendously. Either way be gentle with yourself, falling off the wagon is not the end of the journey. Tomorrow just try again.  

I don't remember who it was that said this to me but it helped a lot "falling off the wagon is OK, as long as you get back on"  

We all know how it feels and this is part of the journey, it just get less over time and your confidence to get up from a bad eating day or period becomes less daunting, because you have learnt to get up dust yourself off and keep moving forward... one day at a time and really enjoy the ride... Just keep your eye on the prize... 🎁 

It happens to even the best of us. Just like Pascoal said, instead of focusing on this being a diet and "work" try focusing on this being a lifestyle. If it's very difficult, try tackling small things every day, choose healthier foods, but eat more (if that makes sense) - so instead of letting yourself get hungry and "crashing", then diving for sugar and carbs, try first starting with eating more regularly, and eating lots of veg, and keeping yourself full ❤️
