Refocus

I have been so busy recently that I haven't had a chance to document my Slimming World journey, that doesn't mean that I've stopped travelling though!

We have had a lot of talks in the past few weeks about Christmas and how to cope with it and, quite frankly, I wasn't coping with the talk of Christmas and the pressure I felt, the pressure I had put on myself to continue losing over Christmas.

I had gain after gain and was so unhappy so I refocused.  I stopped thinking about the fast approaching run away train called Christmas and started focusing on something else instead.

I thought back to the summer of 2014, not a great time for me personally but a great time for my weight loss.  During that summer I wore a lovely pair of cropped jeans and I felt great in them.  In the summer of 2015 the gap between the button and buttonhole on those jeans was a vast canyon and that upset me :(

So my focus changed from Christmas to summer 2016 when I really want to walk along the beach with those jeans on, and it worked!

This was the result the first week after I'd changed my thought process and I was so happy!

The week after that I maintained, it wasn't a loss but it wasn't a gain either and I'd had a heavy week so I was still happy :)

And then last week this happened:

And I was over the moon :)

I'm weighing in tonight and I'm hoping for another good loss, a loss that will allow me to enjoy myself at Christmas but, more importantly, a loss that will get me in those jeans come the summer.

Remember - everyone is different therefore everyone's goals, thoughts, deadlines and focus should be different too.  Find something that works for you.

Thanks for stopping by
