    Does it involve HCG?

    Or body by Vi?

    Ah relapse... I am digging myself out of mine. First admit it, forgive yourself and move on. Start recording everything that you eat. That'll get you in the habit and show you were you can improve. Then make a plan of action. Change one thing at a time and celebrate each success! But please don't dwell on the relapse...look ahead to the future and appreciate each step you take! You are worth the hard work! Good luck and add me if you want!

    just keep reminding yourself on reasons why you want be healthy and lose weight. i'm also a HUGE believer in creative visualization, so I have several images that remind me of what my goals are.

    just remember that as long as you are committed to your goals, that commitment can very often take the slack when motivation fails.

    Its funny cause I was so down on myself I didn't even come on here for a couple of days cause I didn't want to face it!!! It helps to come on here and admit to myself and friends what I am going through!

    I feel off the wagon for 3-4months. The way you get back on track is eat whatever you want but log it. So you're aware of what you're doing. Lets say you consumed 2,500 calories a day, tomorrow shoot for 2,250 and so on... work your way down to what you where doing. Once you're there, clean up your diet.

    I like this idea. Couple it with a couple of trips to the gym a week with varied intensity and increase steadily as well. There is the could turkey option also, start nailing it hard again, full conviction, the obsession/addiction will return. It works for alcoholics and smokers, it should work for other addictive personalities as well. :smile:

    I really don't know. I've lost the plot a bit for the last few weeks (months maybe?) and the scales are showing it.
    I've tried to keep logging even when I eat junk and work on the theory that at least a few good days a week are better than none....

    a) You may not post any links or mentions of other services, websites, or businesses from which you or an associate might benefit financially or otherwise. You also may not solicit off-Forum contact from which you might benefit, e.g. "message me for more info", “I can get you free samples”, etc.
    b) Requests or solicitations for donations are also not allowed. This includes requesting contributions to “pooled fund” competitions, requests for votes in any venue (online contests, etc.), and even requests for charitable contributions. As you can imagine, we have a lot of people who would like to raise money for worthy causes through the site. As much as we'd like to support these causes, if we were to allow requests for donations, the forums would quickly become full of such requests which would take away from the main purpose of the forums - to support one another.
    c) Posts or messages to members promoting websites that compete with MyFitnessPal are also prohibited.

    It has happened to me a lot. I am hoping this time is "the time" But I have been there. One thing that is a comfort is "Your muscles have a memory." It does not take too long to get back to where you once were Another thing is to try and stay in the "now." Don't focus too much on where you want to be far in the future or where you were in the past. Instead, decide youw ant to be healthy "today." Take things one day at a time. Force yourself to "just do it." Even if at first it is 15 or 20 minutes a day just to gain momentum it is better than nothing. Log your calories even if at first you are not eating healthy just tp become aware again. Slowly, you will get back to where you were. Celebrate each day that you are healthy and every healthy choice you make! You can do it

    I will log but sometimes I just dont even bother when I know I have gone overboard! Like I don't want to face it

    Don't give up. Remember why you are here in the first place. You have to stay focased on your goal and what you really want to look like. If you give up now by the time you might would have started back again you could have already been at your goal or at least on your way to it. Don't give up. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!

    Shouldn't this go for all the "beach body coaches" on here, too who disguise themselves as friends only to eventually PM you to buy exercise tapes and shakes? Sorry, I just had to add that in. It annoys me.

    I have OCD- I'm all or nothing too. I've stopped and started. My advice would be to put your personal feelings about what you're doing on the shelf for a full week and just get your *kitten* together and power through it. You know what to do, and you will feel better once you're seatbelted in back on the wagon. Just do it.

    I believe in you!

    You have supportive friends on your feed. Log in and post your feelings/traps on your feed so we can see what's going on. I know the support you receive will be well worth your effort and maybe we can help pull you out.

    That avatar has 1 single post. Probably a bot or someone with multiple accounts that doesn't really care about the site's policies. Cash is king.

    do you have a healthy friend that you could tag along with to the gym? or to discuss getting back into the healthy lifestyle zone? you tend to live what you surround yourself with, so find all the healthy ppl to shadow for a while.

    i'm going through the same situation ... in a way . i've just recentely started my "eating healthier" & exercising & i do great for a couple of days , but then one day i go crazy . crazy in the sweets , chips , even fast food & idk how to help or stop it . it drives me crazy & then i get mad at myself because i've just eaten back all the calories i've lost that week in one day .

    it's a strong physical & emotional test but my ex-trainer (who personally lost 80lbs herself) told me that once you get your mind & body set & in tune together , it'll happen .

    i also read in a forumn the other day that you should just try to take it one day at a time . do they exercise for THAT day , the healthier eating for THAT day . it seems easier than making a little bit of a larger goal .

    good luck & feel free to add me (:
