Yo-yo Dieting

I guess you can say I am a yo-yo dieter. I start off so well, eating healthily, doing exercise and counting calories in, calories out. The problem is, I do this for 2 weeks perfectly, then give up. I have motivation, drive, enjoyment for 2 weeks, then I can't seem to be bothered. I lose interest and creativity.
I know what I have to do. Just stick with it. It is a life style.
As you can see I haven't lgged on for 6 months. And yes, since then I have started, given up, started, given up on numerous occassions. And my weight slowly kept creeping higher and higher.
As of New Years Eve I was 66.6kg.

New Years Eve dinner

The heaviest I have been in 8 years.
It was time to really take a look at my goals, my lifestyle, my inner self.
Luckily my sister came over during Christmas holidays. She is everything. A top athlete, teacher, nutritionist, personal trainer. You name it she has done it.
Anyway, she softly suggested a new way of thinking. She has looked at all the fads. Tried some and denied some. She has come up with a very back to basics, sensible lifestyle.
A little raw foods rules, a little no bread, rice, pasta rules, a little calories in/out rule, a little portion control, a little coconut water, fish oil supplements etc. And has made her own way of interpreting these.
She gave me a few basic recipes that she uses most days, and told me again of the healthy chef website.
But the best thing she told me was "just think of it this way, everything you put into your body, it can use".  Tis is so true. I am following a lot of the healthy chefs recipes. They are so nutritional and make sense.
So now I am eating so healthily and every single thing I put into my body is good for me, and it likes!
It uses.
No more white bread, diet cola, cordial, muesli bars or fruit biscuits.
Make your own. I have made lots of new 'snacks' for each week ahead of time. Tis has helped enormously.

I started with the help from my sister on the 1st January. ( Even though I told her no, I'll do it tomorrow, I have no energy, I need some cola and lollies. She regused to give in to me and said to start today, 1st Jan)

It has now been 12 days and I am still going strong....
