Day 5
Haven't blogged for a few days - have still been using the tools, just haven't had much time to write. I did want to do a daily blog - just so that I could look back and plot my course. Anyway, have walked to work and back twice this week, went for a bike ride Sunday, so that is more exercise than I've had in a long time. Am also being more acvtive - instead of sitting down after tea, I've been getitng things done round the house - jobs that have needed doing for a while, I find it helps keep my mind occupied.
I have just watched Day 6 video and I feel it's appropriate to write down the thoughts that I've had over the last few days (which is probably the real reason for not writing for a few days)
Everything seems to be falling into place too easily and I am losing weight and I should be delighted but there is the nagging voice there all the time saying - you've done so well before and then it's all fallen apart. Iknow that's the duck speaking and I am relly positive about the programme itself, I just have little self doubts as my problem is that I do really well but slip so easily back into my old ways - I realise that is not thinking positive but it is a fact of how my life has been upto now.
And I think that is the point (And watching todays video has helped to confirm that)- It is how my life has been until now but now my life has changed. I have started the programme, and this is me now, I am not the person I was, I am a new person and I can be whoever I want to be. I can change my lifestyle - forever - And I will. I have to stop thinking about what has happened in the past and start concentrating on my new, healthier, slimmer future. I am doing well because I can...I have to pat myself on the back and congratulate myself for doing well and I will....
I know how you feel about having done well before but this time its going to be different. This programme seems to me to be giving us the tools to change old habits forever with practical advice and support. I think that will make a big difference.
Good Luck

Great to hear from you and it's great to see your progress. When the duck quacks, just crack a bog smile or laugh. Our inner voice, shuts up when we do this.
Thanks for your kind words and I am really glad you are enjoying the programme
Take care
