Frequent Failure

CarbAvenger

Hey everyone!

Are you all like me and start a tonne of diets every year, only to give up or slip up half way through? It's the most aggravating thing ever! I'm not sure what brought me to MYFITNESSPAL, but I sure do hope it works. I've actually got something to strive towards now; a bikini in Rome! I'm heading to Italy in August and am determined to walk along the pool in a bikini. I've tried and failed for almost 7 years to lose weight and I'm tired of failing.

Good luck everyone!

Ugh, I feel like I start a diet once a month! My husband has helped me to see the light, he kindly pointed out to me that I am a 'rewarder'. I start a diet, lose a few pounds and then think 'Oooooh I deserve a treat' and with that I totally undo all my good work.... On one of my treat days I worked out that I scoffed around 1800 calories, now you may think its not sooooo bad, a good session at the gym would cure that but nuh-uh, that was 1800 calories ON TOP of usual meals (Im a sucker for sweet things and who knew carrot cake was so lardy?!?)
I found MFP a couple of weeks ago, so far Ive lost 4lbs and rewarded myself with a rum and diet pepsi!
I dunno, I guess Ive finally figured that I have GOT to stop sabotaging myself, my 33rd birthday is in July and I REFUSE to spend any more of my life hating the way I look! There is a ton of support here, good luck!
