need to fix the head first Suma,,try the app I'm always banging on about Insight Timer, it's all free, there's gr8 self hypnosis and meditations that could help, sending you gr8 big squeezy hugs and ❤️ 😍 💖  

Sending you positive vibes Suma! It sucks when you feel so stuck. It’s definitely a mental challenge for so many of us. 

Suma. I feel you pain I’m heavier than when I started and a lot heavier than this time last year, but we have to try and try again until we break this cycle. Another way of looking at it is how much worse it could be if you hadn’t been trying and aware of what you eat and trying to do some exercise. 

Suma, please be easy on yourself. I can say, in a positive way You starting to eat healthier You have self-aware You understand the roots of the problem. So stop blaming yourself and focus on the problem's roots. 

A bad habit leaves a hole in your day when you remove it. So that space needs a new habit to fill the void. If your reaction to a good or bad situation is to "celebrate" or "wallow in misery" with food, you could swap it out with putting on some fun tunes and dancing in your living room, or going for a Walk & Cry to tire out those blues.  

Aw Suma💙 you are absolutely not a failure, you are just still learning how to create your own healthy relationship with food, which really isn't easy. Be kind to yourself, and gently start again. You are so bright and perceptive, I know you'll get there. . .🧡💛💚  

Hang in there Suma don’t be too hard on yourself it will stress you more - I’ve just eaten a bag of wine gums always a sign I’m not right ! So you not alone and enough of this negative self talk we are all fellow paddlers in the ocean of hope and occasionally we get hit by a big breaker ! But we surface and start swimming again with little strokes 💪 

❤️ 

Weight goes up & down that’s normal due to a number of factors physical or psychological that’s just how it is for everyone unfortunately we are not defined by how thin we get or how much weight we lost what it really boils down to is our happiness so being hard on yourself Suma will not serve anything it will only affect you negatively…. I’ve gained a ton of weight & my mobility & physical health is affected by it yet I know it can be done chin up girl tomorrow is another day ❤️ 

Ughh I know that is so hard but just start over. You can do it. This is the longest I have maintained and everyone is different and has to find what works. You got this! 

There have been some real highs and lows this year. Honestly it has been really tough at times and you’ve not done badly so stop punishing yourself. Food is the worst and best thing we reward and punish ourselves with and it is impossible to avoid. Just take time to reset and start again. Whenever you start feeling this way, take a walk and have a breathe. You need to look after your mind and make sure you’ve got enough rest and the right fuel to tackle this. We all know you can do it and you deserve the very best life for yourself 💜 

Awareness is the start, keep going, it’s been a tough year all round 

Also recommend insight timer, it has soooo many resources 

Suma , CHOOSE YOUR THOUGHTS or they choose you .... I have faith in You :-) 

💞 

Suma, I have faith in you, I have faith in you, I have faith in you.... I also have faith in me so ... Sending you hugs 🤗 

Aw suma, I'm exactly the same as u, if it we're easy it wouldn't be a challenge, please don't be so hard on urself. I stopped smoking 12yrs ago it was so hard and losing weight is so much harder I feel as u have to eat to survive, we all have cravings and we all give in, come on suma me n u will start AGAIN together, we're all here for u sending u a massive hug xxxx 

I reread your profile and it reminded me of why I decided to follow you! Focus on your thoughts, positive thoughts, and your life will start falling into place 😉 (not a promise you'll win the lottery) 😅 I have faith in you 

Suma, it happens to us all, u can't b much overweight so I wouldn't worry too much. I've really struggled this summer too, im trying to focus a bit more now n hopefully get to target by Christmas tho not pinning all my hopes on it. Good luck this week my friend xx 

As long as you never give up, there's always hope 💖. Stay strong💪
