Isn't it stupid when you know you're eating crap and you know it makes you feel worse, but you keep doing it anyway. I wish I could bottle the feeling I get when I get on the scales and I have a loss, the feeling when you've eaten within points all week and you get such a buzz cos you're feeling awake, alive, fantastic, skinny and beautiful.
Why can't I remember that now and turn myself around again?
I guess if we knew the answer to that we'd be making a fortune selling our ideas to others in our position.
I guess i'll go and re-read a few of my early posts and see if I can't find a morsel of motivation in there somewhere.
Plan for this week:
Walk EVERY day at lunchtime, even if it's only for 5 or 10 minutes, it's better than nothing. This is the minimum I will be doing this week:
Monday - 10 minute walk - 10 minutes done (1 lap)
Tuesday - 10 minute walk - 17 minutes done (5 laps)
Wednesday - Cleaning at work (30 mins) 40 minutes done
10 minute walk 22 minutes done (7 laps)
Squash (60 minutes) 60 minutes done
Thursday - 10 minute walk - boo hoo it's raining.
Friday - 10 minute walk - 60 minutes working on the archives at work - this was a big job and my arms are aching today so I must have had a good workout!!
Saturday - 10 minute walk
Sunday - 10 minute walk
WEEKLY EXERCISE TOTAL: 209 minutes
Next week i'll increase it to 15 minutes each day.
If I feel hungry - drink water, eat fruit or have a cup of coffee and wait 15 minutes to see if it's really hunger or if it's my imagi-min-ation playing tricks on me (thanks Homer Simpson!!).

Good luck with your plan for this week!!
It is hard to get motivation - and out of the 'eat crap' cycle...going over your early posts is a great idea, and you have made a plan which is a great start!!
o god.
I am SOOOO with you on this.
It's all about getting the "shrinking" feeling back and enjoying it.
Will do a long blog tonight about it but hopefully we can motivate each other. :-)
Go Bri, go Bri! Briony, Briony, she's our man, if she can't do it no one can.
yeeeeAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
That's my cheerleading routine to motivate you. Did it work or do I need to break out the pom-poms?
I can so relate to your post and lost motivation. I lost mine a while ago and no matter what I do can't seem to get it back for more than a few days.
Great to see you went for a walk at lunchtime today, that's fantastic.
Looks like you have a great plan for the week and all the best with it.
Great plan Bri and I was pleased to read that you have walked today. You hav esaid it your self whcih feeling is the better one?? Now we just have to do the things that give us that feeling. I have faith in you and know you can do it.
Hope you find your motivation. Well done on the walking plan.
Well done on keeping up your walking.
Have a good day tomorrow.
I think we can all identify with this... you're not the only one that's for sure! It's a double edged sword... you know you can't eat it because of the good scale feeling, but good scale feeling makes us think we deserve it in a way? *sigh* WHy cant it be EASY!!!
I hear you loud and clear!
Seriously Bri, I think the best thing you can do is have diversionary tactics! Mine are, getting on the net to read blogs, go for a walk, drink a can of diet coke, eat popcorn! oh and have a coffee!
However, after my 10 spoonfulls of milo last night I still need to keep working at it!I JUST HAD TO HAVE IT!!!!!
You just have to keep going!
Have a great week!

You go girl, your on a Roll with exercise. Keep up the great work.
Don't forget Kathryn's great mantra - stop dicking around!
Bloody imagi-min-ations. We should really stop letting them take control, shouldn't we? It's ok... you know that you can take charge again.
BTW, since when did Kathryn become your cheer squad? I know I've been MIA recently, but I have two good excuses! Please give me another chance...
What a great idea focusing on those goals- it looks like you're doing really well so far!
Keep it up, girl! And don't forget to give yourself a pat on the back... :)
