Hi Jane, I can totally empathise with everything you are saying, I too am an all or nothing type of person with regards to food and 1 chocolate bar just doesn't even touch the sides!!! As I've said before I've struggled with maintaining my goal weight range since getting there in 2015 and have spent more time out of than in target. The strange thing is, like yourself I know I feel so much better eating 'the right foods' and feel totally sluggish and bloated when I don't. What I can't work out is why I do it, I'm sure whoever works that out will be very rich haha. Anyway I'm currently 1 stone out of target and in fact have not been to group now for 3 weeks as I just couldn't face sitting in group listening to the same people saying the same things. I'm going on holiday next week and my plan is to have a fresh start on my return. I really hope you have a good week. I love your blogs Jane they are very real and totally honest and I look forward to them each week. Thanks for taking the time out to do them. Much love Julie x

Hi Julie. I too got to target in 2015 and for a lot of the time have found it hard, but was motivated to stay with it because I love being slim. The insanity of over eating, compulsive eating and being obsessive around food is a mystery to me. I can feel it welling up in me like a form of excitement and then the dam bursts. I know it is all down to me and my choices, but, in that situation, the excitement overwhelms me and I am off again. I know what you mean when you say one bar of chocolate doesn’t even tough the sides. I can eat 8/10 bars (no exaggeration). I don’t feel sick, I don’t feel satisfied and I only stop when I run out. The same can be said for sweet pastries, cake and desserts. However, if I stay off the stuff, I don’t crave it. Like you say, there is good money to be made for the man or woman who comes up with ‘why’! Hope you have a fab holiday. When you come back, could you find a more inspiring group? I know there are several groups in my area which would not work for me. I need a consultant who pulls no punches and walks the walk too. We can do this. Sending much love Jane x

Ahhh, control! I've been mulling this over myself this week, my husband says (and I agree) I am a control freak! Everything in our lives I like to think I am in control of, but I know that on a personal level I have little control over food, sometimes I think it has control over me, but that must be addiction. Thanks for recommending the Slimming World pod cast ~ brilliant! All the best, Kath x

Morning lovely. I am a self confessed control freak but, honestly, it’s because I want the best for everybody. Now, my idea of the best for them may not be what they think they need lol. Addiction to certain foods has ruled my life. I am often advised to do them in moderation as by saying no to them some people think I am depriving myself. Well, I know for sure that moderation in certain things ain’t in my vocabulary. I can never do one bar of chocolate without desperately needing more. I applaud those SW members who can but they may not have my compulsions around food. We are all wired slightly differently and as someone who ate her way to 22 st, I think I am experienced enough to know what works and what doesn’t work for me. There are different types of SW members. Some may have gained weight following the birth of a child and need to get back to their pre pregnancy weight. Other than for this short season they may have never had an issue with their weight. Some have a few stones to lose but don’t truly have food issues. They come to group, embrace the plan, lose the weight quite quickly and then get on with their lives. Some people come to change family poor eating habits and their membership benefits their entire family and they all shed their excess together. Then there are people like me lol. Food was my best friend, my comfort blanket, my entertainment, my biggest financial drain, my secret love, etc etc. I took years of yoyo dieting to then eat my way up to 22 st. Those well embedded habits and behaviours may never leave me but I can’t allow them to have power over me. As you progress in your career with Slimming World, no doubt you will meet many and varied types who need to part with the pounds. I know how this plan works for me. I can’t control what Joe eats. I need to get on with being the best me I can. Sending loads of love Jane x

Hi Jane and Joe! Wow, preaching truth girl. I'm always in awe of how brutally honest you are, wherever you are on your journey. I believe you will overcome this season you've been going through because you're very honest about your actions, and you have a strong determined character. Truth. For me that's key to overcoming any obstacle in life. Keeping to the truth of your own actions; 'outing' yourself. You will come through this my friend. So glad to hear Joe has pretty much put the surgery behind him and sounds like he's back to normal! Wonderful news! I put on half a pound this week, and I know why so it's fine. Had a major thing happen to our family this week but will email you shortly. In the meantime, let's work it, because we know what happens when we don't! Sending much love to you both as always xxx

Marcia, you said ‘let’s work it’ and I wanted to jump up and dance with you. Listening to Kanye West while typing and he always gets me going. I wonder if I find it easy to stand up and be accountable as I was a prayer leader in a church for some time and would regularly stand up in front of 250 people and lead prayers off the cuff and spirit led. Or, is it because I can talk for England lol? This plan works if I work it and last week was just a silly woman making daft choices with no excuses. That was a modest gain for you and it will come off again. Will be around to pick up emails in the week. Hope all is ok with you and yours. It will be good for Joe to get back to earning and working and I know for sure he is ready to get back into the swing of things. Praise God, he is recovering really well. Pray he doesn’t have to have the other hip done too soon. I think he needs a good period of life without hospitals. Sending loads of love Jane x

Morning Ros. You hit the nail on the head twice in your comment. Why do we stuff our faces when we know it is going to lead to more guilt which in my case then leads to more food. The coat/cardigan wearing does us no favours. We need to cast them off and let this inspire us to do something about how we feel. It’s tough. We can do it if we want it more than anything else. Have a lovely Sunday. Much love Jane x

Hi Jane & Joe you are so truthful Jane and I love listening to you each Saturday, I have been in a bad place for the past few weeks,I get so angry with myself for eating choc,biscuits anything that's wrong, I'm going to try and get back on plan. Thank you take carexxx

Good morning. I can relate to what you say. I get angry with myself too but while I am being angry, I am usually stuffing something more into my mouth. I said to Joe one night last week, whilst eating my second egg custar, I feel like a beached whale! That didn’t stop me then pinching one of his muffins and following it with yet more junk. It’s like a form of insane behaviour. Not wanting to do it but not wanting to stop. Waking up every day saying it has stopped and then getting excited about doing it all over again. So many mixed messages. I have one full day on plan under my belt and already I feel saner. We can do this but we have to want the slim body more than we want the food. Sending you a blast of positivity! Much love Jane x P.S. You’re worth it, don’t forget that

Hi Jane & Joe, as usual a great vlog. You are always so honest, I love to watch your vlogs every week. You have such good support from Joe. My hubby has been the same weight since I met him when I was 16. He is 8st 10Ibs. He can eat anything and never put weight on. I am no saint but I can stick to sw plan dont bother with chocolate, crisps, have loads in cupboard for grandchildren (an Hubby). I like a glass of beer with my tea. Then later about 8.30pm I fancy glass of wine or 2. That is my down fall. Its way above syns for the day. Im no alcoholic as dont touch till evening meal. Its a habit and bloody hard to break. Hubby says to old now to worry enjoy life, I have put on 4Ibs in the last 2 months and its got to come off. Well thats my moan thank you both keep vlogs coming. Take care xx

Hi love. You are so right, these things are habits. Whether it is a glass of wine or two, a bar of chocolate or siz or my body weight in cake, it is all down to my old bad habits. For four years it has not been a problem. Now I am reverting to type and just not making the effort to say no. It has to change. I need to be back at 9 st and comfortable in my own body. Thanks for sharing and caring and let’s both just keep plugging away at it whilst being kind to ourselves. It’s not a diet or a race. We just need to make appropriate choices along the way. Sending you lots of love Jane x

Watching this vlog Jane im sat hear nodding, im agreeing with everything your saying. Im the same in the evening and this holiday has been an over indulging greedy bugger fest. Im not looking forward to seeing the result this week but as we do we tackle our gains, as for sucking lemons, i was told im looking baggy 😳. Mentally it is proving such a battle this target range game, for all the reasons you said. You talk such good sense & look fabulous with or without a cardy.

Hi Tracy. I have loved your holiday vlogs. Wanted you to stay another week lol. You took me back to so many places I used to love when I could see. This target destination can become a ball and chain. Losing the weight always felt positive and the shiny stickers and certs were a great reward. Target after 3.5 years has to be kept positive by people like you, me and Debbie. It works when we work it. We all keep it real and don’t ‘chat shit’ as our Joe would say. Unless we keep vlogging honest and truthful videos, others won’t take this plan seriously and appreciate the effort we choose to put in. Your holiday gain will come off because you want it too. You have a lovely attitude to this plan. You eat well, you cook well and you use veg better than anyone else I have ever seen vlog their grub. Go Tracy! We are never giving up and we are never going back in the words of our lovely Debbie. Sometimes we might make a daft choice or three and take two steps backwards but then we are off on the front foot and back in our positive pants. I made dreadful choices every evening last week. Insanity! I usually have an eating window between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. I’m back to that now as it cuts out the munchies lol. I’ve got one fully on plan day under my belt and I already feel better for it. Lots of love Jane x

I have never been so moved by a post, it was like you have read my mind and said it on camera this week, thank you, I have stayed on plan for just over 6 months and lost 4 stones and 3lbs, I have 1 stone and 2 lbs to go, last Sunday someone said something nasty because they couldn’t pick on weight anymore it was like they found something else to say to me and a very bad stressful work week as well, well after that I fell off plan for 6 days, I must have eaten at least 3 to 4 thousand calories a day and I couldn’t stop, missed weigh in on Saturday morning because I was so scared of the result, back on plan this morning, writing everything down. What I really wanted to say was thank you, you make this journey real, human, we do slip up, it’s about how we get back up and carry on, you have helped me carry my journey on this week, I hope your journey continues well.

Oh Sarah, this comment has done me the world of good. Your results are amazing and I am so inspired to read how you are doing. Don’t miss another group please. I faced the scales on Saturday because I want them to show a loss next Saturday. We had a stand in consultant as Naomi is in the States. Not my favourite sort of group but I go a pleasant surprise when the IMAGE therapy was really relevant to where I was at. I still want to eat compulsively but I have to say NO! I don’t want to be squeezing into too small clothes. When I get it back to 9 st I am going to reward myself with something nice. I ignored all the great sale bargains in town today. I didn’t deserve to have anything. It works if I work it and if I want the rewards I have to put the work in. Sending you massive thanks and much love. Jane x

Hi Jennifer. We have to conquer it, we can’t go back! Those pounds creep on and add up. It is devastating to go up a size. I was thinking today..... Half a stone up and I feel like half a house! I don’t like this feeling and I could be heading towards 10 st when I want a weight which starts with an 8! 8 st 13 lbs is my body feeling good. I have to get back there but I cannot diet to do it. I will take it slow and steady. I am the tortoise and not the hare. I am doing everything I can today to avoid the diet mentality which caused me to get fat. I know this plan works if I work it and it is down to me to do just that. Come on Jennifer we are worth it! I am not buying any new clothes until I get back to 9 st and I am certainly NOT going up a size. That would be admitting defeat. Have a good week and let’s keep flying the SW flag. Much love Jane x

Hi Jane, I'm really struggling at target as well. I'm doing my final nursing placement, shift work, lots of stress and all I seem to want is crisps and oreos in the afternoons and ice cream at night. I didn't weigh in last week because I really don't want to see what damage I've caused. As a rough guess I'm probably almost half a stone over target but I may be wrong. I'll weigh in Friday to see. I think you're right- maybe there is 'something in the air' at the moment. For me it's once again adapting to doing shifts, deciding which healthy extras to use and when, resisting the hospital canteen in the mornings and generally taking on new stresses. I think when you change schedule a lot it can mean trying to find one's feet a little bit and working out what syns, healthy extras and free foods to use when the hunger kicks in. Being honest, 9 weeks at target and I haven't actually had a week on plan so, like you said, I'll get what I deserve when I step on the scales on Friday. Thanks once again for your weekly videos- it's nice to know I'm not fighting it alone!

Good morning. At the moment I feel like I am trying too hard instead of just relaxing and enjoying on plan food. I am putting myself under pressure and it feels like dieting instead of living the SW lifestyle. I know I have shot myself in the food by indulging myself with the wrong foods for me. Now I have to turn it around it is feeling like deprivation. I keep watching videos of other SW members who are struggling too. I need to stop this and just focus on what I am doing aweetabix and fruit quark and in came the bacon and eggs. Not sure about this. I feel hungry now I have eaten and this is very strange! Too much focus on food instead of just getting on with my busy life. It’s insanity and my head needs to stop the game playing. Hey ho, it’s only food and I need to take a reality check and stop the crazy behaviour. Evenings are difficult as I convince myself I need to eat junk. I have to step on this before the pounds pile on. I will face the scales on Saturday even though the easy option would be to take a week off as my consultant is on holiday. Gosh, that sounds like a great big excuse in the making. I commit, here in writing, to weigh in on Saturday and take it on the chin. Hope you get a better result tomorrow than you are expecting. Much love Jane xnd get real with myself. I decided today not to start my day with sweet foods, so, gone was the

Hi Basma. You are not alone. I know a lot of members who are currently out of target and finding it too hard to get back in. I needed to really address this this week before I get too far from my top target number and lose sight of it. Do you go to group? One lady I know chose to rejoin and take it as a fresh start rather than feeling like she was trying to lose that same stone again! This is working for her. It scares me how much weight can creep on whilst we fool ourselves that we could just whip it off again, if only we had to. I don’t lose weight well under pressure. Someone bought me a ticket for Slim Con but I know that it’s not something I would enjoy and the pressure it would put me under to be at my perfect target weight would make me eat lol. I need to just be relaxed and do it one day at a time whilst reminding myself it is not a diet and it is not a quickk or temporary fix. Go Basma, wishing you loads of great days on plan. Jane x

Madam, in the morning I will be sober, but, you will still be ugly! Classic lol! The lady who said it is lovely, but we were originally target member together in a group. She is now 2 stone heavier than me but happy at that weight. I want back to 9 st so I will get my bottom in gear and do it. It certainly won’t do itself. It’s not hard work, it’s just better choices and consistent choices. I can’t do odd chocolate treats or daily small choc bars. I want it all or I’d rather have none. I envy you your coffee with cream. My favourite way to take coffee. I think I lean towards Alpro Professional coconut milk for it’s creamy consistency. I try to drink black coffee but I get no real pleasure from it. I can do an espresso when I am out but generally do this because only cow’s milk is available and I don’t do that. Have a great week.

Morning lovely. Do you think complacency creeps in when we have been at target for quite some time. Loads of target members in my group are where I am, out the top of target! Even those who never stray seem to be finding it tough at the present. We can do this. Firstly, you might need to address why you are hungry? Have you changed breakfast, lunch or dinner dramatically? I know that certain foods leave me hungry quicker. For example..... If I started my day with porridge, I would be famished after an hour. Pasta and rice never fill me. What I tend to do is keep the protein high, the speed high and the carbs reasonable. I’m not a fan of SP. See if you can identify what is leaving you hungry. Protein is the food with the most filling power. Carbs are the foods which burn off quickest. I wish you well. We know this plan works and we are bloody well not going to throw away all we have achieved. I don’t want to come on camera one or two stones heavier and say I am happy. I can tell you now, I would be dying inside and putting a false face on it. That’s not how I approach this plan. I have to be honest with myself or I will be back to looking like Mama Cass. No disrespect to her, I love her music, but, being morbidly obese killed her. That’s scary! Sending you loads of love and thanks for your honesty. Jane x

Thanks for such an honest video Jane. I am sure you will get it together soon. I agree it is difficult to process people's comments on our own appearance. They make comments for all kinds of different reasons which might be for your benifit or their own. I come from a family who talk about other people's hair, clothes, weight all the time. Even when comments aren't made out loud, I know I'm constantly being judged and talked about when I've gone. Fortunately I think the older you get the less it bothers you and you start doing it for yourself and not for the sake of others judgement. Good luck for the week ahead. I remember a time years ago when you had a dallience with scones and chocolate and you soon sorted it out and got back on track. You just need to get in the right frame of mind. I, on the other hand, have lost the plot all together and never managed to find that peaceful place yet. I was interested in your comments about the junk making you more hungry. I often say to my other half that where he gets fuller the more he eats, I just seem to want more food the more I eat. Our bodies get very confused.

Good afternoon. It’s an unfair world when some people can eat seemingly whatever they fancy and never put on a pound. My husband used to be like that but, in retrospect, he didn’t over eat, he just enjoyed a wide variety of foods. Now, as he gets older, it is catching up with him as he is not the active, race around guy he used to be. He is however one of those lucky so and so’s that starts a bar of chocolate and stops after 3 or 4 squares! Oh how I wish I functioned like that. I grew up with a mum who was very free to comment about the appearance of others. She still does it, but, she seems to hone in on me. I used to be too big and now I am too small! Can I ever please her? I think not lol. I wish I could just flick a switch and turn off the hunger. I was never hungry on plan before and this is troubling me. I am fine until I have a meal and then I just want to carry on eating. Hoping this will come good. Having a much better, if not perfect week. The compulsion is still there. Sorry you seem to have lost the plot and I can empathise with you. So many other SW vloggers seem to be sharing my tough time. I am afraid that I could let it slide too far and then not find the way back. Even this scary thought is not changing my mindset. It’s the feeling of hunger that is driving me crazy. I don’t like it at all. Is it genuine hunger or head hunger. I am not dieting. I am eating good meals but not feeling satisfied. Hey ho, I will just keep olugging away at it.

When I had an operation 10 years ago I went completely off alcohol. God knows what happens. Its not helped by the fact I feel constantly hungry and if I make soup for example I don't like it.

I have never dared to calculate the syns in one of these tubs lol. Wish Asda didn’t keep putting it on offer at £2.50! Well, off to group to face those scales this morning but not stressing over it.

I should be able to be trusted around food but I am a liar and cheat and a thief where chocolate is concerned. It completely alters my character. It is definitely my drug of choice. Dawn, we can do this. It’s a marathon, not a sprint and we just need to take it steady and be kind to ourselves. No crap, no guilt. Speak to you on Wednesday when I get back. Loads of love and positive vibes Jane x

Hi lovely Jane and joe Thinking of you loads thank you for being so honest it is so hard to get back on track Hope you have a better week Take great care loads of love and hugs x x x

Hi lovely Carol. I have 3 fully on plan days under my belt and I am working on day 4. I have to cut out the junk and focus on what this plan encourages me to eat. That way I cut out the cravings. I hope you have a fabulous result at your next group. Sending lots of love Jane x

Good afternoon Darling Twin Hi Joe. Jane You know only you can turn this around no amount of planning or trying to understand what has happend will help. I am a big believer in if it works don,t try to change it and you know what has been working for you so go back to what was working. I seem to be in a place of thinking I can get away with little things and before I know it they have truned into big things WTH why are we distroying all our hard work ? I am still within target but I know that this way of eating for me has to stop or I will soon be out of target and not enjoying my life on a more serious note my health has to come first so with this in mind I am getting my SW head on and pushing through this summer like I have the past 4 year. Take care of each other thank you much for sharing love as always Tom and Susan xx

Hi gorgeous younger twin. Is it something in the air? Lots of our members are behaving like me and that is so unusual in my group. I want to do it. For four years I have enjoyed doing it but all of a sudden, it feels like a bloody diet. I know it’s an eating plan. I know it’s a lifestyle but my head is going ‘diet diet diet’! I have never been able to diet and I need to switch off that thought. I can eat really well on this plan and lose weight, feel great and enjoy my slimmer body. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. I have had a massive re think around social media. I am avoiding it like the plague. I want to be a devotee of SW and not a victim of brainwashing by social media. I can do this plan standing on my head. I know how it works..... Free (speed) food first, measure Healthy Extras and don’t focus on syns. I just need to crack on and today I am 100% on it. Avoided the sales in town this morning. I don’t deserve to buy clothes until I am back at 9 st. Then I will have a nice treat (not edible)! Love you loads. Hug Tom for me. Jane x

Hi Jane I don't think you're considering how you must have been worrying about Joe, my daughter had a cancer scare and at the time I was three stone down and near target, six weeks of worry saw me put on a stone and I've struggled to get back on plan ever since, I know you're not one for excuses but I feel it must have affected you, I hope you are able to put it behind you quicker than I have I'm just back on plan the last few weeks, good luck x

Bless you! We mothers do worry, I think it is feeling powerless that gets to me. One hip op down, one to come at some point. He has done so well but it has been tough. Nothing straightforward, always extra complications. Joe takes it in his stride but I don’t think I do. I hope your daughter is alright. Glad to read you are back on track and I feel sure we can do this. The largest clothes I have in my wardrobe are 12’s. I can’t go beyond that. I don’t want to go beyond that. I always had a heap of clothing I was going to lose weight to wear. It never happened and I really dread being back in that place which is why I need to address it now. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. Much love Jane x

Yes she's okay thanks Jane, a cyst on her ovary gave a false positive but it was nerve racking for a while, poor Joe I didn't realise it was going to be a double hip surgery,I wish him well on that when he has to have it, I hope this week is good for you, I love listening to your advice and your honesty x

Jane if you feel at your best at 9 stone that is your prerogative. I know exactly what you mean. I’m at the lower end of my target at 9 st 10 1/2 and love being just under that 10 stone mark on the scales but daily I get people telling me to stop where I am or that I look like I’ve lost more. I tell them that I’ve maintained for the last 3 weigh ins. I don’t know why I feel like I have to justify my weight loss or appearance. Life at target is tricky but you look fabulous and you want to stay that way. Nothing wrong with that. Have a great week Jane, eating healthy food that you love 😁❤️😍😘 x x

People can be very judgemental with the best of intentions. When I was morbidly obese I was ashamed of my size and took comments to heart. I swore that once I was in the shape I wanted to be, it would be no one’s business except mine. However, it is hard to respond to these comments and opinions without just being rude right back. I might try challenging the next person to do it lol. What I find the hardest, is that most of the comments and the criticisms come from people who are themselves still overweight. I was called a devotee recently. What is that supposed to mean? This was said in sarcasm, but, in all truth, it only means a person who is devoted to something. I don’t object to being seen as someone devoted to SW. I used to be totally devoted to pork pie ha ha. I’m making the right sort of progress. I know that 9 st ish is right for me and I’m sticking to my guns. I don’t mind if I look a bit gaunt, beats the big old moon face I had at 22 st. This plan suits me when I commit to doing it properly. i know it’s not for everyone but that’s fine. I wouldn’t try to impose it on my friends and family. I think if you have children in the house the SW language (healthy extras, syns etc) can be very negative and the last thing we want is to destroy the body confidence of our kids. I find this plan so much easier now I only have to cater for me. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Much love Jane x

Jane you could be talking about me lol very similar things going on here. Let’s try and make July the month we become target members again xx

Happy Wednesday! I think there must be something in the air! Never found it so tough to focus on being 100% on it. When I did SW years ago I treated it like a diet. I was on and off it. Since I met Naomi I have changed my attitude towards it. However, this last couple of weeks have driven me crazy. My head needs a good wobble lol. Yes, I’m up for being back in target by the end of July. I don’t want to put pressure on myself to be there for the Diamond Awards. I never do well under pressure so I tend to avoid it. Busy day today but it WILL be on plan. Sending much love Jane x

You are wonderfully truthful thankyou x you go girl x you deserve the best x

We could always come up with excuses for over eating. Yes it’s choices and our head does have to be in the right place. Yes joe gaunt is the word I get told too when I’m at my lowest and my neck bones are more protruding. I just let it go over my head and don’t bother about it. You look good Jane and don’t let anyone say anything else. You can do it Jane and I know you will. Just follow the plan as you used to. Good luck with the week ahead at making the right choices. Love Doris xx

Morning Doris. Excuses do me no favours. I can’t hide behind excuses and fibs when the weight is piling on. I am what I eat and the scales show it. Weighing in every week is totally necessary for me. I could so easily have skipped group and let it slide for another week. I think we must let those personal comments go over our heads. People are entitled to their opinions but we don’t need to take them onboard. Yes, I look gaunt compared to the huge fat moon face I used to have lol. Today I choose gaunt over morbid obesity. The people keep getting bigger, the food keeps getting easier and junk foods keep getting cheaper but, that’s nothing that is any good for me. I did 50 plus years of over weight, it’s my turn to be slim lol lol. Have a great week my dear friend. Much love Jane x

Hi Jane you know you could be talking about me with your comments today I to have a feel good weight . And I think there's a lot to be said for that old saying Nothing tast as good as slim feels but it can be bloody hard work to maintain sometimes ☺Take care Jane here's to another new week xx

I love the way you understand me and I understand you. It’s so good to look for the similarities and focus on the positives. When I focus on members who permanently make excuses for not working the plan, I pull myself into a negative place. When I get comments from people like you who get that it is tough, but worthwhile, then I pull myself into a positive place. Backk on plan and loving it. Nothing beats being slim! Lots of love Jane x

You’re definitely not on your own at the moment finding keeping the ‘I want to eat what I want when I want’ food mind set at bay. You’re sounding like ‘peed off of Nottingham ‘ you’ve done the hard slog and want to be ‘normal ‘ unfortunately you know this isn’t to be. The sooner you get back to the right head space the better and there is never a bloody fairy with a wand when you want one 😄. I talk the talk but didn’t walk the walk yesterday went out for onions and came back with a sharing bag of chocolate, I didn’t share and hid them behind a cushion till they had gone then physically buried the empty packet in the bin. Nobody knows I’ve eaten them apart from me. Old habits die hard. Back to optimising today positive mental attitude. Have a good week both of you. Well done Joe the rehab must have gone really well if you’re doing hill walking with a companion that winges 😂

Joe is doing great. Seven weeks post op, no crutches and dragging a wingeing old bag up multiple hills. Bloody hell, this morning he had me running up 60 steps at Queens Medical Centre so we didn’t miss the tram. I counted every step on the run up but amazingly I could still breathe easily at the top!!! Physio went well and he is currently lifting weights at the other end of the bungalow. Wears me out to listen to him! You madam! Fancy not even sharing the chocolates. You are as bad as me lol. I won’t share any food. I am having it all. It is mine!!! Went into Doughnotts this morning. This is an awesome doughnut shop in town. Mr Piggy got 3 at a cost of £7.75. Then he went to Waitrose and got a cake and a shortbread. I stood there with a face like a smacked arse and my teeth gritted. I won’t. I won’t. I won’t! I want to fit in my clothes. I don’t want to be sweaty, breathless and fooling myself. I certainly don’t want to be back in my old habit of swearing I will slim into it. I won’t buy it if it doesn’t fit me now. I have wasted hundreds on clothes one size too small which I bought to motivate me to lose weight. I never ever did it. Well, you made me laugh again. I love your quick wit. I think you should confess the chocolates to your partner and next time you should share. Hope you have a brilliant week. I want to walk the walk this week but it’s very hard and I don’t know what has changed to make it feel this way. Sending loads of love Jane x

I just love you, I'm not saying another word! Jx

Jane pull it back this week don't let it keep creeping up or it will be a stone on before you know it. You certainly can do it. I know you can't exactly put an old photo of you at your biggest on the fridge to use as motivation but you can fill a backpack up with food tins to say 10 stone weight and wear it in front of you rather than on your back see if you feel good carrying all that weight around and the way it restricts you. Just a suggestion! You can do this. By the way you don't need a cardi just yet. Joe great to hear you are better. Jane as always thank you for sharing your thoughts xx

I am back on it! Thanks for the great suggestion re the back pack. Tat 10 st figure scares the life out of me and yet at one time I would never have believed in myself, or the plan enough to think I could reach 10 st. Facing it from below it is frightening. I won’t go there. I owe it to myself to get my act together. I see other vloggers have crept up since I came to KZread as a viewer 3 years ago. My absolute idol was Donna Dyble. I watched her a month or so ago as Jade’s wedding approached. Had not seen her videos for about 18 months and I cried. Not because she has failed. I’m not judging her. I just expected to switch on and she would have cracked it. I’m glad in a lot of ways that I can’t do Instagram because I would be too obsessed with following the journeys of a lot of people and taking my eye off my own ball, so to speak. I need to focus on staying down in weight and up in spirit. I do appreciate your comment and it is more than helpful. Much love Jane x

Hi Jane, I think you might like to come out of target eat junk then your better at losing weight, I hope this doesn't offend you I don't mine to it's just people do say it's easier to loss than to maintain as there is nothing to aim to, Well I lost 1/2lb this well but I have not had such a great week up to now but I am trying hard hope you have a good week love Jackie x

Morning love. The problem with going up and down and out of target is that one day when I do it I won’t be able to stop. That scares me. My mate lost 6 st and has gradually regained half of that. She just can’t get the ball rolling again and finds it too hard to join back at group. I have done the same thing before. I used to lose 3 st gain 4 st, lose 5 st gain 6 st, once lost 8 st in 7 months and put it back on in 6 months. My track record is crap and that old behaviour is what finally got me to 22 st. I don’t want to be coming on camera having lost 13 st and then gained 14 st. Going up is so much easier than going down. Losing the same few pounds over and over again eventually gets harder than losing stones! Well done on your loss this week. Keep the faith. Loads of love Jane x
