Huge tips for holding yourself accountable!

Every weight loss journey will be filled failures, it’s up to you to pick yourself up and hold yourself accountable. I couldn’t tell you the sheer amount of times I’ve dieted and failed but recently I have done two things to hold myself accountable and I have to say they have really helped! The first one may not be for everybody but I must say it was a very good investment and definitely does play a part in telling your brain to either put down that food you shouldn’t be eating or help you push through the hunger!

1. A smart scale! (I use Withings body cardio). My one was a bit pricey but I’m aware that there are cheaper alternatives. Now this connects to an app on your phone and I use it to weigh myself EVERY morning. This way I can see weight fluctuations which prevent me from getting demotivated as I see they are very normal. This again keeps you accountable as you can see any weight gain on the app and you can’t cheat yourself by pretending you didn’t put on any weight.

2. An alternative Instagram account. I have a private Instagram account in which I post refusal updates of the foods I’m eating, runs I go on, workouts I have and most importantly progress pictures. At first this was only for me and after using it for a few months it shows me a clear history of how far I’ve come and keeps me motivated in moments I hit a plateau or otherwise lose motivation. If you want to follow it to check out an example of how I use it you can look at @dietcheen. You don’t need to be self conscious as Instagram let’s you keep this private so even if somebody you know stumbles across it they can’t see what you post unless you want them to. This is one of the main changes I made to my latest weight loss journey and it has gone a long way to let me hold myself accountable with the food I eat as well as keeping me consistent with running workouts which in turn has done wonders to keep me fit for my boxing training.

If you have any other questions about intermittent fasting or anything else please don’t hesitate to message me on here or on the Instagram. Loads of people helped me when I was starting out and I want to pay it forward and help at least one person to start changing their life!
