12WBT Beginning

I've been hearing so many good news storied about Michelle Bridges 12 week body transformation and have decided to finally join in.

I've been quite off track lately and I think this might just give me that little push that I need. With the 12wbt you make commitments to yourself and to the 'group' there are forums you can post on and people you can meet up with. You are provided with exercise plans menu plans and a heap of advice. You are also given tasks each week to improve your mind set and also weekly weigh ins to keep you accountable.

If anything, I need some kind of structure to help me in a routine. I generally start something and go at it head on for a week or so but then my motivation dies as time passes and I am yet again at that starting point. So, 12 weeks of being accountable to myself and having the forum with a heap of people in the same position should give me that continual help and assistance that I need.

Come at me routine!

I told my bf about it and his first reaction was "WTF Sonja, another bloody diet? You keep starting these things and wasting your money..."  Well, I wasn't expecting that!

I was mad as hell! He's usually really supportive but today not so much and that's probably because he keeps hearing me going on about something or other. But regardless that is no way to support me!

After a bit of silence he apologised and I explained to him that I don't appreciate any kind of negativity and if he is not supporting me, then I need him to not speak to me about what I am eating, what I am doing or what I am writing. I can not have any negative talk around me because I know what it does to me, I feel useless, which then makes me want to give up on myself and binge. If he doesn't think I can do it, then I must not be able to... those kinds of thoughts are not wanted! Negative people and negative thoughts are like weeds and this is what I am trying to eliminate from my life. Anyway, he was apologetic and asked me if I could tell him more about it, after I explained that is a whole approach to weight loss, happiness, fitness and general positive outlook I think he got it.

We've been talking a bit about my negativity and how to get me out of this rut, so having this conversation helped but I don't really like how we got there!

Anyway that's behind me and I am excited about this journey, I think it starts 19 Nov so I will post an update when I begin :)

Peace out x
