We are back on track, I lost 2lbs this week, taking my overall weightloss to 11lbs and I now weigh 11 stone 11lbs 
I actually wasn’t for going this week, I’ve “felt” fat this week and was was convinced I had put on and just couldn’t face it. Luckily an AIM conversation with my good friend Kelly gave me a bit of perspective and I re-thought the whole skipping a week thing.
I think that really highlights how important it is to have support on your weight loss journey, without it I’m 100% positive I wouldn’t have weighed in this week. It also proves that in the weight loss battle the mind is either your best pal or your worst enemy.
Psychologically it was a bad week, stress clouded my judgement and tricked me into thinking I was going to disappoint. An in actual fact I’d been very good and there was no real solid reason for me to think I should have gained, but I “felt” big and therefore…
So happily I am 2lbs lighter and sticking 2 fingers up to the little devil on my shoulder.
What about everyone else? How did you get on?

congratulations!
Well done for sticking with it, 2lb's is fab for an off week.
I totally understand what you're going through. I've a love hate relationship with food – I love it and it hates me being slim. Its doing its best to not allow me to shift this stubborn half stone, that I'd look so much better without.
I lost a stone a few years ago and seemed to keep the will power going for 9 months in which I took to lose the weight …. I just can't seem to find that willpower again
I'm really enjoying reading your honest weight loss posts, its definitely giving me something to think about. I feel the need to have another rummage for my willpower now
Thank you for being an inspiration to us other weight loss girlies (Kelly too – I've seen your photo video of your journey). You both look gorgeous. xx
Thanks so much ladies!!
Alexis, I was exactly were you are right now before Christmas. I just couldn't imagine ever having the willpower or real "want" to lose the weight.
It all changed with a photo, its posted over on slapswap, but it was taken at Xmas at my Aunties and I just couldn't believe the size of my hips/ middle. I didn't recognise myself and more embarrassing I honestly didn't see myself like that, in my head I was ok, the reality truly shocked me.
I definitely feel in the zone this time, I have my bad days and sometimes think about falling off the weight wagon, but ultimately I have good support in friendships like Kelly's and even people like yourself spurring me on.
If I can do it, you can do it!! xxx
