I was doing really well on my diet. I went out of town for almost a week to visit family and friends. Basically spent those days going out to dinner and drinking. Not to mention I didnt do any exercise. Now that I am back home, Im feeling so blah. Everyone was so proud of me with the success that Ive had so far, and I wanted to prove to them that I wasnt the "psycho" diet person. Any tricks you guys can tell me about getting back on track?

    A bad week does not mean a bad forever.

    Just get back on track. Your body is blah because it misses good food and working out.

    You are likely full of sodium from eating out, and just start one step at a time back into a new you.

    I recently watched this movie and it made a difference for me.

    I completely get this.... i've just done the exact same thing! It sucks i know but we can all do it and you just need to motivate yourself again.... you can do it! I know how hard it is to come back after a extended period of time and have to jump straight back in at the deep end of the diet pool but you can do it! :) Very happy for you!!!

    As Nike says, "Just do it!" Give up the story you've created around the whole thing and just go back to the gym and start eating well again.

    Well I was just the same way..Honestly..It has taken a few days..but I just slowly started eating healthier again..and logging EVERYTHING, and if I did eat something bad It would take up my calories and I pushed not to go over them, even if I was hungry. It will get you started eating healthy again because you don't want to be hungry. Good Luck!

    Yep, this is me this week too. March break last week and I ate too much and excercised too little. But today is a new day and a new week and I am back to recommit to logging and keeping better track of everything that goes in my mouth - accountability! That is the key!

    Good Luck!

    I have had a bad week too. I really got to get a handle on my diet again. I don't want a bad week to turn into a bad month and so on. I think I am going to try to go a few days without any sweets since it seems to be where I am going bad now. Good luck.
