I know how I have been successful before...it is all a head game.

when I make up my mind...my problem is finding the inner strength to keep me doing and making the correct choices - with food and exercise.

I know I need to stop - I WISH - and do - I WILL

has anyone struggled with this of late? I am not proud to say it has been a daily event for me.

I am not dealing with my problems in a positive way and I always have been an emotional eater.

HELP...

    Yeah, it can be hard. There have been days that I just don't really want to get up and move, but I just make myself do some thing at least. So maybe instead of an hour long or longer walk, I might just take a 10-20min walk with my dog or maybe squeeze in 2 or 3 small walks a day instead of one really long one. And some days I have just got so busy on here trying to read and post stuff that I ended up skipping meals or only having a late breakfast instead of breakfast and lunch. But then I end up really hungry while I am waiting for dinner and then I get to feeling like I am starving, which could lead to the wrong food choices or even bingeing. So I have to remind myself to eat even if I am not hungry, and then I am not as likely to eat the wrong stuff or too much of any thing. I have seen some really great quotes on here and started to post them on my computer to remind me. I am also thinking of making a goal board like I saw a friend do. It would have a pic of me when I was the weight I want to get back to as a visual reminder of what this is all for. It would also have some great comments on it and other stuff and a monthly calendar that I can track my progress on. Here are four good ones to put up on your refrig, your mirror, your computer or places like that. "Never trade what you want the most for what you want at the moment"; "Eat for the body you want...not the body you have"; "When you want to give up, Just think of those who would love to see you fail...Don't give them the pleasure"; "If you bite it write it". I hope that helps!
