Almost falling back to old habits.

deedeesaysraaa

You are me in dude form. I lost 100lbs then thought... "I've done it, I deserve pizza"... every day for like a month. I'm now 22lbs heavier than my lowest and could cry!!!

You have got this, WE'VE got this xxxx

Another member wrote something in a different thread several weeks ago that really struck me. You have to come to terms with the fact that you can't go back to your old habits, your old ways of eating, and then you have to mourn that way of life. It's a major loss for some of us - give it the recognition it deserves. Then move on with your new way of life because that's where you ultimately want to be anyway. Sounds like you're moving in that direction. Congrats on all the hard work you've done.

Reaching your goal is not time to stop. You must continue with the plan and keep using the new habits that you have learned. Change this and you will slip back. Take it from someone who did! Don't go back to eating the old way which is the way that caused you to be heavier.

For me it never stops. If I dont log and excercise consistently then I KNOW that I will fall back into my old ways. I have accepted that logging will always be something I do. Some people say they can't imagine tracking calories everyday and I say to them that I can't imagine being obese everyday - I spent way too much time being that for way too long so no going back for this gal!
