This is a tricky time of year if you’re following a diet plan, maintaining your weight loss, or just generally needing to watch your weight.
The best advice I can offer is to simply do the best you can do, while being kind to yourself.
When I say be kind to yourself, I’m not suggesting that you give yourself permission to treat your body as a rubbish bin.
Quite the opposite. You are worth more.
I’m suggesting that kindess is treating your body with the respect it deserves. Being kind to yourself is eating foods that are high in nutritional value, that nourish your mind, body and soul instead of diminishing them. That’s real kindess.
So when you’re surrounded by all those tempting foods and drinks, please remember, your real friends are water, lots and lots of it, along with real foods, the protein and veggies as listed in your Step 2 and 3 lists, and of course your 1:1 Diet products that are nutritionally balanced, and help you stay full.
These are the foods that will love you back. The alcohol, the carby, surgary, fatty and fried food, just make you feel and look bad, so try your best to stay clear of the foods that are not your weight loss friends.
Do the best you can through this tricky period, and stick to the foods that love you back and that you aren’t still wearing the next day. Switch your thinking when you are seeking comfort from foods. Fill up on the healthy stuff and think of that as your comfort 💕
The time is now to take action, even if just one of these are implemented at a time:
✨ Minimum 2.25 litres of water per day - water is you secret weapon - the more you drink the more your appetite and you shrink!
✨ in just 3-4 short days if you stick to plan and stabilise your blood sugars again, you will be feeling back in control, no longer bloated and back in the zone. 3 days to feeling good again. You can turn this around, know that you have the power.
✨ Get moving. Something as easy, free and simple as 30 mins a day of walking can make a huge different to your physical and mental health. Make time for it, even if in 2 blocks of 15. Every step counts.
