    Laura, I know how you feel hon. I have been there before too. You have to stop your stinkin thinkin and get back on track. It's so easy to slip in to old habbits. Don't let yourself fall in to that trap. You have lost 44 pounds ! That is a great acomplishment ! Be kind to yourself and get back on track asap. I know you can do it!!! Hugs- Cindy :heart:


    thanks, that is exactly what I needed. :flowerforyou:

    I just read your profile. I think you will find your motivation there again if you re-read it too. Count your blessings, look at the positive, ask the Lord for His strength to help you. You have everything you need on your side! You CAN do this! As soon as you say 'no' to the first temptation tomorrow....you will start to get your motivation back! Say a prayer and get on with it!

    You are amazing, made in His image! Don't forget that!

    I have been doing terrible with my lifestyle change: I cheated on Thursday, Friday, Sunday and today. What in the world is wrong with me???? I have come too far and achieved too much while doing this. Why can't I get it together? I don't want to gain ALL the weight I have lost and then some. I have worked too hard to get to where I am.I have not exercised in almost 3 weeks. I have been such a Lazy slacker. I have gained 2 pounds back, now I have only lost 44 pounds, NO Laura, get it together, get your lazy slacker butt in gear.I have been stress eating b/c of the whole wreck situation. Has anyone else been thru this? If so, how did you get back to what you were doing before?

    OMG this is exactly what's been going on with me. I keep thinking why am I doing this to myself again.. I've been so depressed and not able to get back into my funk.. Today I had my husband take my checkbook and my debit card and all credit cards so I have to take my lunch. I have access now to cash.. I so want to get back on track.. He will be leaving for 8 weeks in a month and I want to lose 10 lbs while he is gone... There is so much support here, but I am just having a hard time using it, logging food choices (which have been terrible)... I only exercised twice last week and I am going to go walk here in a few mins.. I will do this.. I will do this....

    I find that this happens to me when I'm really restricting myself or overdoing it. Allow yourself meals out once a week, or a cookie in the office, or try a bit of a friend's baking, just do this in moderation from time to time so you don't feel completely deprived & binge all at once. I know that lately for me i've been a total gym rat burning 1,000 calories everyday & now this week I'm just not feeling like going! Eek! I know that for me personally, when I overdo it like this it really sabotages my whole routine.

    Take your time & just focus on eating/being healthy rather than that scale. When you take your time & learn to truly adapt to this new lifestyle you are guaranteed better success!

    just wanted to let everyone know that I have been really good today as far as food goes and I even got on my bike and done 30 minutes. I know that is only 30 minutes but it is better than sit and do nothing, I am going to do more tomorrow. thanks everyone for all the kind words and encouragement. :flowerforyou:

    You have accomplished so much!!! I was there myself this past weekend- totally binging, but forgive and forget! Try not to dwell on the mistakes and focus on the positive. You can do it- one meal at a time (like others said):flowerforyou:
