I've lost 17 lbs. before with myfitnesspal but now back on it and feel like I have no willpower. I was 10 calories over tonight and feel so discouraged. The problem is I love carbs way too much!

    considering calorie counting has to be an estimate anyway, and FDA allows a certain amount of wiggle room on packaging, that 10 could be 20 over, 10 under. shrug. dont make yourself miserable.

    Hey! Go do 45 seconds of jumping jacks. Then do 2X 20 toe-touch crunches.

    Ok...now you're to 0 over again.

    One thing that I've gleaned from all of the Success Stories (on MFP and other places like it) is that the most important thing is a positive attitude. "You can do this!" Remember you're trying to change your life. And just like the rest of life, mistakes, missteps, slip-ups, trip-ups, fails, and falls happen. Not only are they inevitable they're part of the process of changing and growing. Just believe in yourself and keep going.
