“I know for a fact, that we can be really good during the week, then think we can blow out at the weekend, and that can very easily ruin the work you’ve done during the week.
“That was true of me when I started to lose weight.”
Gregg had a solution: “All you’ve got to do is change habits. That fun [over indulging] can cost you your health, can keep you overweight and unhappy. You have to change.”
He also recommends weighing yourself if you want to lose weight.
“If you’re not happy with your shape and size, you need to weigh yourself so you know you’ve lost weight,” he said.
