If you want something different, you have to do something different...

This sounds super obvious right?! So can someone please tell me why I am so surprised that I keep gaining weight when I keep eating cakes, chocolate and biscuits?!

The saying goes that madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results… well hello everybody, my name is Alison and I am a raving lunatic.

So things hit a new high/low a couple of weeks ago when I saw never-seen-before numbers on the scale. So for the whole of last week, I did something different.

Normally I would eat the office birthday cake, but this time I didn’t. Normally I would have chocolate for dessert (after every meal…lol), but this time I didn’t. Normally I would eat the free biscuit provided with my tea, but this time I didn’t.

At first it totally sucked. I felt grouchy and deprived (and let's be honest, a teeny bit smug). But then after a while it became normal. I got more comfortable with the feeling of wanting and it was easier to say no.

And guess what…Those numbers on the scale started to decrease slowly but surely.

Hmm… I did something different and I got something different.

So if you are stuck with a problem you have not been able to solve and you are not seeing any progress, figure out what you keep doing...and do the opposite of that thing!
