I'm Starting to Slip....

tigerlilly24

very very serious reply here... but are you on, or about to get your period????

I think I'm like 10 days out from starting so I am close to starting the PMS mode and it does feel like it. I could also be pregnant since I don't take or use any contraception with my fiancee. I have had 2 cycles since I started my weight loss though and this entire week has just been more difficult than the whole first 2 months.

Unpopular view, but you just might need to give in and fall. Sometimes falling, hitting the bottom, is just the kind of pain we need to get back up.

Or you could get real. You don't like being fat. You're not going to magically start enjoying obesity when you drown your sorrows in an endless supply of pizzas, Taco Bell, and subs. Sure you'll numb your emotions for a few moments? And then what? Eventually when the pity party is done, in the next few weeks, months, or years, you'll be as fat as ever, if not fatter.

And you'll be back here, on MFP, trying to lose everything you've lost so far...and then some.

If you don't learn to tell the demons in your head to shut the hell up, and keep going anyway, this battle will NEVER be won.

Weight loss is simple. Changing our minds is the real battle.

I know how it is. I have lost 30 pounds and this last month has been awful. I keep nibbling. I have to get back on track. It is the hardest thing to do is lose weight. I feel your pain. I'll keep going forward and I hope you will. Exercising is no problem for me. I am a night eater. My problem is getting up during the night. Any helpful information out there on how to not eat during the night would be greatly appreciated. Night eater.

I'm having a slump at the moment, the last two weeks have been full of peoples weddings, hen parties and just about every other celebration involving food and booze, plus my son has been ill so i've had to mss the gym to be at home with him. I look at my food diary and honestly it makes me feel depressed. However, once this week is over and all these celebrations are done. My body is not going to know what has hit it. I'm gonna work my *kitten* of the make up for these last couple of weeks and not look back. My advice is, order a pizza, eat it all in one go. Draw a line under it and move on. You can and will reach your goal, so what if you stumble along the way x

I have been so dedicated and good for the past 50 + days but this past week I have been neglecting my logging, cheating more than I should and not exercising. I feel hopeless with this weight loss thing. Like no matter what I do I will be overweight like all the other women in my family. Always have a gut, fat touching thighs, and enormous arms. I don't know what to do to pull myself out of this funk, I just want to curl up in bed and order a pizza, some Taco Bell, a sub, on and on I just want to stuff my face and say Fu@# it all I'm fat and I don't care. But I do care and I just want to be "normal" sized. I can't be the only one who's felt like this. What did you do to keep going?

I was where you were, and I hated exercise, too. I got out of my funk by finally getting fed up with my own excuses and started listening to all the successful people on here. The one big thing someone said to me is that a binge like that usually follows a long time of eating too little for it to be sustainable longterm. I took the time to learn what my body really needs to be healthy, food and exercise. After that, it was easy to lose the pounds, and now it's easy to maintain my new healthy weight.

Actually after assessing how I've felt today the more possible it seems to me that I just might be pregnant. I wasn't actively trying so I wasn't looking for symptoms but besides the desire to eat everything in my house I think I'm having several symptoms and it would explain why in reaction to my crazy impulse to eat endlessly I had an emotional meltdown. If I'm not pregnant than this was extreme PMS in which case I'll also give myself a total freebie pass:drinker:

I had my baby 12/9/2014! My little 9.6lb chunker. Less than a month later I'm at pre preg weight and ready to restart my weight loss. I can't do low carb yet bc it affects my supply but I hope I can use the breastfeeding to help make up the calorie deficit. Thanks to all the MFPr's who gave great advice when I thought my pregnancy cravings were me having no self control but I gladly packed on 35 pounds these past 10 months
