For some reason I started to see the task at hand as a HUGE task and rather than breaking my weight loss down into small achievable targets, it just all started to seem like a great big never ending job that I was never going to get through - we all have times like that, right?
So last week, I lost another 1kg (2.2lbs) - my weigh in day is on a Thursday so I will let you know the following Tuesday rather than doing two posts with the same stuff in both..
Despite loosing weight, I felt like I should have lost more considering the effort I've been putting into it and I was getting really disheartened.
I eat roughly 1400 calories per day nowadays and always do exercise (Jillian Michaels Shred It With Kettlebells or Rosemary Conley Total Body Workout) roughly 5-6 times per week. I know fat can turn to muscle and all that yeehaw but COME ON! if I had lost 4lbs I would not be moaning on as if I just lost a winning lottery ticket right now!
I just feel like I have a good 4/5 stone left to loose (minimum, yes really, that much!) and I feel as though I will just NEVER get there. Dramatic, yes, true? maybe!
I am so on edge about the whole situation and there are times when I feel like I'm working out for no reason. Hell, last night I had a takeaway - I had penne boscaiola and chips, which I haven't eaten in almost 2 months, AND I only ate half of it so felt okay about it. I just know the scales won't be feeling okay about it on Thursday.
Does anyone else get times like this? Motivation is really lacking right now... *nose dives into box of Ferrero Rocher*
I would really appreciate your help and advice please? Here at hollys beauty box, shizz gets serious!

You're doing so good though! It helps to remember that the slslower you lose weight the easier it is to keep it off.Slow and steady is better. I'm really enjoying these posts, hope you keep sharing them! x
