I suck.

You don't suck; you're rad.
You lost so much weight and sure, you've slipped up and gained it again, but has that stopped you? No! Here you are again, ready to dive straight back in. Well done!

I've been where you are, and I'm glad to see that you didn't let it stretch into YEARS like I did. The fact that you're back at it says a lot more about you than that silly setback. Now, go get to it!!

Everyone on here have slipped, so don't beat yourself up. With me anyway, when I have a bad day, I just make a decision that I will start off fresh tomorrow. I don't beat myself up about. Trust me years ago I would just give up and just say I knew I couldn't do it.. But this year my attitude is different. Attitude is key here plus to surround yourself with positive people. People who understands the ups and downs of losing weight and getting healthy. It's also about not making excuses about it. Yes you went on a downward spiral for a while, but you are here now and want to get back on the horse - so to speak. So just start fresh, is it going to be hard, probably. But this is something that you truly want to do and so you will do it. Just start getting those negative thoughts out of your head and start telling yourself, you know, I can do it and get this weight off of me. Try to understand why you went off, what happened in your life that got you off track.

I know that I am a stress eater, so I try to have healthy snacks around me and drink more water then usual for the day so that I can feel full. I drink herbal teas which help with the full feeling as well. I usually don't keep snacks in the house but when I truly want something, trust me I have it but I don't have it in excess. I know that I'm going to drink soda, so I just put soda in for the calories for the day. I get a can instead of a bottle. It's all in portion control for your food.

It's hard for me since October since I had my foot surgery, I cannot work out. So I do go over my calories some but not a lot and not every day. You can do this and stop putting yourself down and hang out with people who are going to support you and help you on your journey. You are beautiful. You are strong. You will do this...!!!

It's ok. Losing weight is a little bit like quitting smoking. Most people fail a few times and yo yo before they lose weight permanently, and 95% of people statistically will regain what they have lost over five years. I have avoided slipping up again by working on my diet and exercise routine the day after I overeat. It's important to stop the weight gain as soon as it starts, or it will be demotivating later. I ate over 3,000 calories the day before and of Thanksgiving. It will take six days to work off the extra calories, but it is worth it to enjoy the holidays and not gain weight.

Most people hit their goal weight and lose the dieting habits, but it's vital to find something that can be maintained and enjoyed over the long term. I am the type of person to absentmindedly eat so I will probably have to be mindful of what I eat for the rest of my life.

Don't think of the weight goal as a destination. Staying fit and slim is just a few healthy habits enjoyed day after day. It doesn't have to be perfect as only consistency matters.

and Saturday starts a new month, use it.
