This week hasn't been my most motivated. After loosin. 4.5 lb last week I feel like I've eased off my weight loss wagon. 

Don't get me wrong all my meals have been slimming world friendly but I've added a sneeky ammout of chocolate, crisps and wine in this week. 

I feel super bloated and I don't like it. 

I was struggling on what I could post about today and asking Jennifer what she thinks, I've decided it's on motivation.

I know it's only week 2 but I'm sure I'm not the only one lacking motivation. 

I know it's hard to be strict with yourself all the time, but loosing weight is a lifestyle change. Even if it's not to loose weight but to become fit and healthy.

Don't get me wrong I don't think cutting out every bad food forever is good for you. If you deprive yourself then you want it more. 

All food is good in moderation.....

But my problem is I'm greedy, I can eat a whole packet of Pringles in one sitting right after my dinner and then chocolate after.

I don't eat until I'm full.. I eat untill I'm stuffed.

If I eat my dinner and I'm craving chocolate, crisps and popcorn. Even though I'm full, ile eat them. Hence why I gained loads of weight . At Christmas I feel like all I done was eat crappy food .. I didn't care I just absolutely loved stuffing my face.

I'm also a comfort eater.. Had a bad day? Ile eat.. Had a couple of bad days Ile eat even more. It's a bad cycle , but it's something I've learnt to control(ish).

My top tips for motivation: 

So my first thing is to remember why your wanting to loose weight? Was it to fit into a dress?, for a holiday, to feel better in yourself? Whatever the reason just remember why. Even write it down so everytime your wanting to eat something you don't think you should then you can see it and may put it back in the cupboard.

Secondly, imagine yourself at your goal weight. How amazing will you feel? How good will it feel buying jeans a size smaller? How good will they look on you?  

Again this doesn't have to be weight loss.. Even if your happy with your weight and just want to tone up. Just imagine your body change :) 

Thirdly.. Don't beat yourself up for chowing down on everything fabulously fattening :). Tomorrow is a new day.. Start again and get on with it. Don't feel bad. Even if you don't loose weight that week. Your in control of your body, and sometimes a little splurge makes me want to work harder the following week.

4. JUST KEEP GOING.. you can do it, you will do it. Gotta keep making better lifestyle changes. 

5. Life doesn't revolve around your eating habbits. Sometimes you do have a holiday to go on, or a lunch in your fave burger place, or a friends party all food included. Just go and have fun. I never diet whenever I'm going anyware like that. If I'm eating out and I want carbonara, I'm getting carbonara.like I said above if I deprive myself of the food I love ile give up and binge. I just try and be good the rest of the week and blowout that one day :)

6. Write a food diary of what you have eaten , if you see you have eaten a whole bag of toffees and a tube of Pringles it may put you off, but it also helps you monitor your intake of calories. A good app is my fitness pal.

7.take a before shot? Imagine how amazing it your after will look next to it :) 

So like last week here are some motivational pictures to help see you through the week.
