Have you fallen off the wagon?

I have fallen off the wagon recently too. March/April/beginning of May, I was at school shopping and cooking for myself. this made it a lot easier to record my food because I knew exactly what to put. Since I've moved home, I have been eating out at least once a day and my emotional eating has returned. It has been even worse the last week because of a loss in my boyfriend's family. But in remembrance of this person, my boyfriend and I are jumping back in tomorrow.

yup definitely fallen off the wagon, eating whatever, sinus infections, no exercise, WAAAAYYY too much drinking this week! (Though that part was fun).

No tips other than just do it. Monday is the day, getting back into a routine etc.

Fell of the wagon (for a while) and spent this past week getting the eating/diet back in control. I got back into running and completed my first 5k but fell off not long after. As a busy working mom of twin boys I have a hard time finding the time to exercise. But must climb back up on the wagon

Yeah... my mother n law is coming to visit next week and I think as soon as she leaves I am gonna get back on track.... so all the advice you guys give is very helpful and I thank you for that

Today for sure. Yes you can

So for the last 2 weeks, I have been tired... No exercise and I have been eating whatever I want... I feel so horrible... I just dont know what else to do to get motivated.... Anyone else have this same problem or can any one help and give good advice....

I'm there with ya! I've been tired and unmotivated for the past week and haven't been eating all that well. As I write this I'm working my way through chocolate :-(. I keep pictures around of how I look at my heaviest and how I looked a couple of years ago when I had lost some. It reminds me of what I'm working towards. I think sometimes when you're working really hard you do just need a break every now and then. Take the break and then try and get right back on it. You just have to find what motivates you, be it pictures or an item of clothing you want to fit into. I hope you find your motivation again! :-)

yeah, i fell off the wagon earlier this year. there was a huge amount of stress and personal crap going on, and i eat emotionally. when things are financially tight, food has always been my "treat" - i can cook all sorts of delicious stuff really cheap and it makes me happy >.< i quit MFP for a couple of months, and realized i had gained 12 lbs. only when i had to go up a pants size again. then i realized just what kind of happy that food was - not the right kind!

i had a really hard time getting back on the wagon - another almost a month of just trying to track what i was eating, maintaining but not losing, before i was like, "THIS IS CRAP. JUST DO IT." i'm back in my lowest-size-so-far now. that feels really good. all i can say is keep at it no matter how hard it is to find the motivation. if you just keep making the effort, even if you don't have major successes right away, it will get easier if you keep at it.

I am right there with you! all it takes for me is one little change in life and boom! a small slip up becomes my eating style. I love the way I feel when I am "in the groove" and nothing is stopping me. I just wish I never fall out of it. My grooves seem to last for a month tops. Then I spent my time feeling guilty for not being where I could be.
I love the advice to PRESS ON! ..its so true that is what we have to do , no matter who is coming to visit no matter where we go this must be our constant groove

I keep jumping back on it. That's the important thing. Don't give up.

^^This!!

I'm back on the wagon, starting today. How is everyone else doing?

Doing .. okay today. Not too bad, not too good. Getting impatient, though. Just want to get to goal!

There is a lot of great support here, but if you need one more reason to start TODAY: Going for a run gives you an excuse to get out of the house when your mother-in-law is there.
