I can't believe it's been so long since I last wrote an entry.....since the end of April I have sort have been cruising along and staying roughly the same weight. Last week we had a different consultant at my Slimming World meeting as our normal consultant was away on holiday. Lets just say she was the bitch from hell and she made me feel like a bit of rubbish (just trying to be polite and not be dragged down to her level!). She laid into me for about 20 minutes. Any way due to this I relaxed a bit last week and only put on a pound, which I'm happy with as I enjoyed myself!
But I'm so glad I went back to group last night it was so positive and chilled thanks to the girls! (You know who you are).
Since my last post I have still planned my meals on a weekly basis and have started to enjoy cooking again, but the last couple of days I have started to write down everything that passes my lips, so I will be absolutely mortified if I haven't lost weight this week.
What do I need to do to help me with my weight loss journey:
1) Take one day at a time
2) Write down everything I eat
3) Do I need that glass of wine?
4) Enjoy what I'm eating and If I don't like it, don't have it!
5) Realise when I am full up
6) I can have a treat (I had ice cream and fruit for desert, which was lovely).
7) Take responsibility for my actions
8) Visualisation.....3 times a days how do I perceive what I look like now and how I want to look in the near future
9) Being more positive
Why do I want to loose weight?
1) To be able to fit into smaller clothes
2) To look nicer
3) To reduce my blood pressure
4) To be able to ride again
5) To be fitter
Why I wouldn't want to loose weight?
1) I see it stopping me going out and socialising as I can't drink as much

I am doing the 5k challenge and I am not fit enough to run all the way round but I will complete it an am also looking at going to the gym and swimming over the weekend to.
How am I feeling now?
I have now got that positive feeling and am eager to achieve a weight loss each week, no mater how small...it is achievable! Just need to keep that focus and enjoy doing it. There was a very good line in the following article:
http://www.rd.com/health/diet-weight-loss/easy-ways-to-lose-weight-50-ideas/
Its the line about ice cream being the jewel in the crown and fruit being the crown! That's so true and I read it after I had dessert of fruit and 60g of Ice Cream (5 Syns for those of you that are currently following the Slimming World healthy eating plan).
Hypnosis
I have got a Hypnosis app on my phone which I used for the first time in a long while, and I selected the weight loss and confidence session combined, which helped be to relax and I had a brilliant nights sleep
