Gaining half the weight I lost back :(

In 9 months I had lost a total of 10kg's. I was so proud of myself, I felt so great. Giving up sweets and cakes was hard but I got through it. I decided i deserved a little treat, by then it was too late, my body just wanted more and more. :sad:

Now I have packed on half of the weight I lost.... 5kg's, because i cant control my eating habits. Thats why I started this group, for motivation and getting together hopefully on a monthly basis to keep fit.

    How long did it take you to gain back the weight? Surely it can't be that bad? I don't yet have a handle on my cravings, but my friends on MFP that do say that you shouldn't cut out the things that you like, but rather practice moderation. This week, after "giving up" chocolate, I ate 2 blocks of a slab of chocolate in 2 days. I didn't feel too guilty about it because it was still better that what I had done previously.

    Slow and steady seems to be the thing around here. Why don't you give that a try and let me know how it goes?
