Just one won't hurt.....
Two little losses and I slipped into complacently very quickly, and blew it. When I lapse it’s usually nothing too major and all along I say to myself one won’t hurt or I’ve been good so I deserve this – well I’ve realised it does hurt, it all adds up!!! I can’t get away with sneaking the odd chip, which turns into just a few more, trying just one deep fried oyster, just a couple of nachos of MM’s plate, just a couple of dates, just little bits here and there saying just one won’t matter, but I don’t seem to stop at one!!! A couple of good days and I think I can slip.
Early on in this attempt at losing weight I got away with quite a bit, but those days have gone! One minute I’m here saying I’m finally feeling more confident and then those feelings soon vanished. I’m fed up with not being able to get away with little lapses – but the truth is that’s not how it works!
I want to succeed, I don't want to gain and ideally I want to lose this stubborn bit that's hanging on - so
I have to stick to points (and that’s doesn’t mean helping myself to chips or whatever tempts me!) and I have to move more. I know this, I keep telling myself this but I have to keep doing it!
I’ve been burying my head in the sand with the exercise I do. While an aqua session a day sounds great, (and it was when I first started exercising) reality is my body has got used to this - I do know I need more!!! I also need variety but don’t really want to give up aqua, so today I have already been for a walk and each day I’m going to attempt throwing something else in along the way. I walk pass the exercycle about 20 times a day – so even a 10 minute bash at that once or twice a day….. I’ll be writing here what I achieve.
I never thought this would be easy but I never thought it would be this hard!!!
Still something to smile about – it is spring, the sun is out, month end is out of the way and my clothes still fit!!!!!

A great lesson here for me too, thanks!
I've been a bit awol from your blog lately, but hope everything has been going well.
Good luck with your extra efforts, hope to see your weight behave accordingly :-)
A little here and there seems so innocent ay but it always catches up with you.......grrr!
I soooo know what you are talking about but at least you have now acknowledged it and you will be more aware of what you are doing.
I find I am eating bits here and there and don't even realise it (kids plate etc).
Tracking is my ONLY way to keep track of what is going in my mouth. I have tried just adding points up in my head but it just doesn't work......write it down.
Good luck :)
Yes, we could get away with quite a bit when we still had lots to lose, but now we get caught out every time!
