Hey everyone,
I was on here for a few years and did really well. Life has gotten to me and now I am 25 lbs heavier and feel disgusting. The problem?
I CANNOT FIND ANY MOTIVATION.
I keep beating myself up with every picture that's taken where I look fat and awful. But why can't I find the motivation to change? I used to be able to but now it seems impossible. I don't know what to do anymore.
Tonight was the final point. I saw a picture of me in my halloween costume and felt so gross. I don't know what to do

You're smarter than you think, you knew exactly what to do : ) Login to MFP and reach out on a message board. About three weeks ago I saw myself in a work picture taken at a going away lunch. The very next day I got back on MFP and have been logging every day since. I have lost 6 pounds; not losing at lightning speed but I have committed to a healthier life and made a long term weight loss goal (-60 pounds by Dec 2016). Join me and others on our journey to a healthier life.0

I guess what worries me is the fact that I constantly log onto MFP and log a few days' worth of food and then BOOM i am back to where I started, not giving a crap. I guess I know where to begin but not how to stick with it.0
