Why can't I get back on track? Need a butt kicking

ashivnc

I keep falling off track on weekends. And so I'm just losing and gaining the same 5 lbs - not making actual progress, and I've been doing this for a month. I need to lose 15 lbs. I'm frustrated. I think I fell off the wagon this weekend bc I was so hungry all last week. 1200 calories is just not a lot IMHO.

Definitely feeling frustrated.

I've fallen off the wagon badly twice in the last few years. Never got to my original weight, but I got close. and I always wonder what if.

Get back at it, you are worth it. Anyone can be overweight, it requires no effort, no dedication. But only you can be the person who you want to be, no one can do it for you. You have to do it yourself. We can encourage you but in the end it is you.

DON'T LET YOURSELF DOWN!!!

You can do it!!!

I wanted to let you know that I just quoted you on my home page. This is sooooo good and true!

You aren't going to see any actual substantial changes in your life unless you actually starting doing things that are substantially different than what your standard is.

Its gonna keep getting boring if youre only putting in 10%.

Cmon... humans are meant to be the dominant species... not the observers.

You really want that after picture, you're just gonna have to stop making excuses for laziness and start doing some honest work.

I feel your pain! I too have been off the wagon so to speak for the last month or so. Using my "life" as excuses. Not logging, eating way too much and not exercising. My weight has crept up a little too.
I think I was borded and tired of the monotony of having to log every bit of food that passed my lips. Log all my exercise. I was obsessing over ways to change things up to get results and finally I just gave up.
I too "wanted to get back on track", but kept making excuses. So finally Saturday I planned my food for the day and then Sunday finally exercised for the first time in 2 weeks. Guess what? It felt good! I wasn't hungry either and stayed within my calorie range.
This time I am going to try to be easier on myself. Not obsess over every little ounce I gain/lose. Exercise by doing fun things that I enjoy.
We can do this! You are not alone! Feel free to add me as your pal if you wish. We can encourage each other :flowerforyou:

So if this is a "diet" not a "lifestyle change" you're saying that as soon as you hit your goal weight, you will revert to your old habits? Why even "diet" in the first place if you know you're going to revert back? Maybe this is the issue.
