The seeds of doubt are sprouting...

It's that wobbly time of the year... not the belly wobbles (well that too, but in fairness that's all year round!) In the next few weeks, people will either knuckle down and make headway into a mini goal that they've set for themselves in time for the big 'C' OR they will sigh and say, 'I've SO much going... I'll never get down to 6 stone by then anyway... what's the point.. sure I'll start again in January and 2017 will be MY YEAR!!!' I've already heard it! The seeds of doubt are sprouting...

Let's just take a look at how far you've already come... look at the photo that sent you through the door of your first class, you're not that person any more and you've worked hard to change that picture... the 'hilarious' comment from some eejit that made you cry but yet it spurred you on to do something about it, you're just waiting for them to say it again! No one knows what you've been through, no one except you... no one knows the daily battles that you face, just you! Don't doubt yourself now... if you don't want to set your goal as a number on the scales, and honestly, sometimes that can add so much pressure and you feel like a failure when you don't get there, then set it as a feeling... how do you want to feel on 'C' day? Frumpy? Tired? lazy? Then make your goal 'I wanna sparkle on 'C' day' ... Set your goal as the energy you want to have to boogie the night away on New Years Eve... add in an extra walk during the week to make sure you're still rockin' to Wham and Mariah at 4am on the 1st of January (just me?!) ... 

Every journey is different and every journey is personal... Don't compare yours to anyone else...
