Bunny Hopping

It's been a long day, with our Week 11 session tonight.

I've lost 2lbs and I feel a bit overwhelmed by the content of tonight's session so I'll post what I wrote on the train home tomorrow.

I have to be honest...I was disappointed by this week's loss; on my LL Counsellor's scales, I am 12 stone 1 so I have officially lost 2.5 stone so far (two days into my Week 10). Of course, this IS fantastic...but I was hoping for more this week given that I have drunk so much more water and, on the whole, followed the programme. Apparently, this is very common and I am a "bunny hopper" - my weight losses fluctuate so I should see more off next week and it is TOTM.

I think I've also hit a wall, which is a mental rather than physical one. The food has been very "quiet" of late but this week (eg at the service station) it is SHOUTING at me. I see food everywhere and I want to eat it. I wish I were joking. The journey into London today was really hard. One of the station staff was loading a refreshments trolley onto a train and I just felt such desire to eat its contents. The sheer madness of it!!

I did, however, stick to water and mint tea for both journeys, so that is progress. But, I have to be honest, my crooked thinking/resistance/rebellious child - whatever you want to call it - is operating on overtime and I am having a tough time managing it.

Glad everyone else is making good progress; it's good to read some positive blogs!

Keep on resisting. Think how well you've done and how bad you would feel if you sabotaged yourself at this stage.

Just shout back at that pesky food - "Bugger off - I'm not interested!!"

Well done - your achievement is ll the more for being hard won.

Don't look down - luck up! 2lbs is a good loss at the best of times but at totm it's excellent. Don't forget this will all level out in the end ... our bodies are doing what they should, it's our minds that are playing silly games and we have to remember that these are stupid crooked thoughts .... you're doing brilliantly and you are seeing them for what they are - stay strong and keep on doing so.
