I need help getting back on track

Hey Everyone,

So I have been dieting since April, and have lost about 26 pounds. I don't know my current weight, because I'm too scared to weigh myself, and sometimes I get a bit too obsessed with the scales. I'm 4'11.5 and I estimate 110 pounds.

In about October time I completely fell off the wagon, would get back on it, would fall off and so on. I have had several bouts of illness, so its been difficult, but I'm ready to do this properly again. My exercise plan hasn't been going so well either. I have some joint problems so have to take it relatively easy. I like classes, but they have all finished now for the next month over christmas, and work has got in the way, I can't attend the classes if work comes up (I'm self employed so I really can't turn work down). I was doing the 30 day shred and got bored, but I think it would be a good way to start again.

My main problem is when I fall off the wagon I go hell to leather with it. I don't exercise cause I think whats the point?! (I know there is a point). I go junk food mad.

I really want to get back to eating healthy, because it makes me feel amazing, but because I've been eating lots of junk food, the cravings are really bad. Last time I attempted cutting out the junk food I felt nauseous when I lay down, to the point where I got no sleep.

Does anyone have any recommendations of what type of diet I can do, which will make the cravings easier to deal with?

Also I find it super hard to get back on track after a bad day or two, does anyone have any advice on how to be more self disciplined? I do emotionally eat, so that is definitely an area I need to work on.

I guess you need to determine what makes you fall off track...but once done, don't over analyse it. I found cutting out the fattest foods in my diet did the treat...no non meat, or full carb diets, mixed in with a crazy exercise regime.....just strive for balance. Cut the fattest one in your diet out - now - and stick to it for six months. Like smoking....you're unlikely to go back again once the habit - the craving has been minimised. Wishing you luck - I know you will do it!

hi there. well its not easy when your first starting as your body needs what it wants and somtimes when you done and it makes you want more and more I would say just try cutting it back a bit at a time that way you dont notice to change at first and take it from there are you doing any workout I like to do walking as well as running so good luck and if you need any help just as:smooched: :smokin:
