Nothing like starting over for the millionth time...

I stopped the endless cycle of always "starting over" by never "quitting."

I log what I eat, even if it's wayyyy too much. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week, no matter what kind of day I had food wise, even if I am on vacation, even if I am tired. If I have a day where I want to go over my calories and splurge I don't look at it as cheating, it's just another day in my life and it doesn't ruin everything. I don't set dates to meet weight goals, because weight loss isn't linear. Being a low weight isn't important to me. I would rather bench 95 lbs and fit into a smaller size pants at 165 than I did at 150.

I wonder what I can do differently this time that will make me continue and not give up. We shall see!

So what made you give up last time and the time befire and the time before that. It must be very draining to restart. Id suggest not restarting until you full undersand what went wrong and you have a plan which caters for both your mindset and has in place various strategies to avoid the pitfalls of the past. If you wnat it enough then you will sort it out properly. Its all about personal choices you make, so think about it the next time you have to decide move closer to target or further away.

Get friends on your list to check you are doing the basics correctly including how to use the site. The most popular thread on the forums is why am I not losing weight, which nearly always boild down to the people concerned not logging properly or having a decent plan.
