I have been fighting reality. I reached my goal after 10 months and let loose! Reality smacks you in the face when you finally step on the scale for the first time in 5 weeks to realize that you gained 11.7 pounds! I am angry, frustrated, annoyed, scared, hurt, defeated, overwhelmed. I simply just want to curl up and cry. I seem to have no control over what I put in my mouth anymore. I always find an excuse (usually related to no time) not to excercise. My tiny beautiful skinny clothes still fit (though barely), so I must be in denial about the crap food hurting my body! Ugh! I just am fighting this inner struggle. I worked so hard and then I stopped. Why does it have to be so hard to keep it off?

    Just chalk it up as a learning experience. You've lost the weight once, you have the tools to do it again and be successful.

    We all slip now and then. I do understand how you feel. Maintenance is not easy and requires dicipline just like when you're trying to lose. As previous poster said, take this as a learning experience and make today the day you begin making changes - either all at once or a few at a time. You'll get back to where you were.
