How to get back on track

I've lost weight steadily every week since jan and been eating well and getting in the gym x3/wk. Last week I had tonsilitis so diet was whatever I could manage & too ill for gym. Then Easter has hit I can't stop snacking and my motivation for the gym or any activity has vanished.

Any tips on getting out of the rut and back into a good mindset? I just can't seem to shake out of it.

    Any way you can. Choose a date, leap back in and start right now, log what you're eating even though you know you're not on track, make a bargain with yourself or someone else. Whatever works. Good luck! I'm back on track after a few weeks off. It was difficult, but I reached a point of knowing that I wasn't doing myself any good, so I logged back in.

    I have still been logging hoping that it would stop me but it hasn't! I've just been and cleared all but the kids treats out which I know I won't eat so I don't have the temptation! So hard when you've slipped to not keep sliding!
