STRUGGLING OUT LOUD FOLKS NEED HELP

AlanahCFit

I was doing so awesome a couple of months ago, started at 196 and got down to 177. Then my mom broke her wrist and I got a new job and my world of health and fitness came crashing down. I now weigh 189

There are always bags of chocolates, snacks, and even McDonalds breakfast available, we also have an onsite restaurant so a huge juicy cheeseburger and fries is just a call away. And don't forget my fast food addiction that came back in full force.

I've started therapy once per week to help with various issues including this.

I know I have it in me. I know none of you can do it for me. I have all the reasons and ways and yet temptation and my inability to overcome it is winning right now... help in anyway please.

HELLO, When you say, your inability to over come this...you are saying you give up or looking for an excuse to eat again. .Think more highly of yourself. If we can do it...you can do it. You know yourself better then us but even I believe in you...and YOU CAN AND WILL OVERCOME AND DEFEAT THIS, BECAUSE YOU ARE STRONGER THAN ANY OF THIS!! IF you realize what caused you to gain ( worrying about your mom etc.), then you know what to do to reverse this problem.You can do it...I believe in you. Hand the situation to the Lord and get back on the wagon sweetie. We all fall off the wagon one time or the other, just get right back on!! LOL!! Hope I helped you!! Keep us posted about how you are doing, because we care about you. Tell Mom I am praying for that wrist.

Thank you both so much!

You've got this covered - you can do it. Every time you stumble a little, remind yourself why you want this, and why it's more important to you than a handful of chocolates that you'll have forgotten in five minutes (then perhaps have one ).

There's no need to deny yourself things forever, and there's no need to beat yourself up when you get off track - love yourself and remember that you're worth putting the effort into. You'll get there!

That's a lot of cliches, but sometimes there's truth in them.

hi! just wanna share these:

When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first.. and don't forget to tell yourself how amazing you are every time you lose a pound..

You just gotta start fueling your body with a better kind of fuel.

learn to love healthy food.

teach yourself to enjoy healthier snacks.

dont let chocolate and sugar be the boss of your destiny.
