😡😡😡😡. Sorry team no green for me today. This is typically the point at which I completely give up. I’ll have 2 good weeks and then have a gain and then want to just quit. Trying to push through and have a strong week this week.
I would just say don't shoot for a strong week. Push to just have a week. Remember, you have not failed. You did not fail yourself or the team. So therefore no need to quit. There is something that took me years to understand, it's called life. Life happens and oddly enough it will continue to happen. Let tomorrow be another day to.......4 -

But THIS time is different because you have a team here pulling for you and telling you that you CAN do this!!! Weight naturally fluctuates. Always! Weight loss is not a linear thing. It is always filled with little ups along with the downs, and one pound is just a tiny little blip. The key is: every day is a new beginning and tomorrow you will
1. Try to stay within your calorie goal for the day. Don’t starve yourself to make up for the blip. Choose healthy choices, but eat most of the allotted calories.
2. Try to get in a tiny bit of exercise—walking circles around the inside, or outside, of your home or in the neighborhood, or walking one extra flight of stairs or parking a little further away from the office or the store. Small, barely noticeable changes can add up to a totally doable WIN for you!
3. Try drinking a glass of water before each meal, or between your cups of coffee, or however you can increase water intake by only one glass if that’s all you can do.
Any or all of these things WILL make a difference! I KNOW you can do this! Check back in here tomorrow and let us know how you’re doing. We are rooting for you!!!2 -

This last week I was not as diligent about food. I still lost which is good, but I need to be tighter about staying in a deficit this week. It would easy to erode the progress I’ve made with the mindset of it’s just one day. My problem has always been just one day turns into a week, a month or more. Consistency is the name of this game and I need to make that my focus.4 -

I feel your pain, friend. Now is the time to regroup, though. You already know what it's like to give up so think of this period as a new experiment. Let's see what happens if you don't give up for the next 2 weeks. Instead of focusing on the scale, we could focus on the experiment. Tweaking the experiment is what helps me focus on other stuff like: what happens if I cut down on juice intake, or if I have a healthy choice fudge bar instead of the Breyers ice cream. Sometimes I'll just have a nice hot bath for desert (with my cat, of course, because he just MUST be with me). Just look at little stuff. Or, another thing I like to do that has helped a lot, is to eat something (literally anything you want) and then focus on how it makes you feel physically. I tried this once with a donut. The donut was quite delicious but, in order not to screw up the experiment, I only had a donut and water to see what affect the donut had on my body. I haven't eaten a donut since. haha.
This forum wouldn't exist if adjusting your body was easy. We're here for you. You can do it. Hang in there.2 -
