Tried and Tired I GIVE UP

You mention that God might just intend for you to be "this way." God wants what is best for you ALWAYS. If you feel your best, then you're all set. I'm going to bet, however, this is not how you feel physically or emotionally. All things are possible with God. Have you prayed about this? The Bible verse Joshua 1:9 has gotten me through many a tough time. At times, I say the same thing about God wanting me to be just the way I am. A healthier me could serve him better, though. He gives us free will and sometimes that means I make poor food choices, and give excuses for not exercising. Don't ever give up.0

God did not invent bad foods did he?
Don't give up - just retrain yourself to accept discipline is a way of life when there is so much rubbish on the shelves!0 -
i been overweight my whole life and I kept saying i was goig to start and then it was like something clicked and i decided enough was a enough, I have a 2 year old son that I want to be able to keep up with and see grow up. I want to feel better I want to look better and be healthy. I will say this. If you don't feel like 100 % ready don't commit to something your not going to follow through with. I wasn't sure how it was going to go for me but i've lost 55 pounds in 4 months and I now feel like QUITIING IS NOT AN OPTION. I feel like i don't have a choice. I have to do it. so I do it and each week i get on that scale I love myself more and more for fighting each day when i don't feel like doing anything. With the right support you can do this, be succesful, be happy and feel good about yourself. Its definately life changing.0

1. You've already lost 14lbs , you can definitely do more.
2. However much you are upset with yourself for what you ate in the holidays , I doubt giving up will make you feel better, I know it;s hard but you've shown that you can do it, just keep at it. Everyone has off times, it's completely natural. I put on a stone in the last week.
3. keep your chin up, I'm sure you're amazing and I'm sure you don't want to quit or you wouldn't have posted on this message board but just want more motivation.0 -
I feel the same way, I'm about ready to give up, I'm starting to think maybe I'm suppose to be fat forever. I can't seem to eat even a normal amount of calories because I am a fat pig. I am surprised how fast my calories build up I don't know how anyone eats healthy, I tried eating less and I was starving. I feel like a complete failure as a person and will never succeed.0

Oh hon, we are only human. Put that behind you and just start right now. Its either loose weight for us or plan on going on the needle, with the high cholesterol and everything else... When my 15 year old told me he weighs 260 it was a wake up call. Yep. No choice. Its not a diet, its a change of life style required.
Together we can do it.:flowerforyou:0 -
The holidays got me, too. I was off work for two weeks, hosted three dinners, did alot of baking, went out of town for three days... Too hard to stay on track. It was my first set back since I started 5 months ago. It can be scary when you let yourself go off track, and for me the scale backed that up. Then the old doubts start to creep in...will I find the will power again? Can I get back into that same mindset? But yesterday I woke up and knew it was time to get back to "my new normal". And I did. I ate healthy. I got on the treadmill. Today, the same. And today I am more energized than ever to keep this lifestyle up, to be the best me that I can. We all need to give ourselves a little break every now and then. For me, it made me realize how much better I feel (physically and emotionally) when I am eating healthy and exercising. I have a long way to go yet in my weight loss journey, and am sure there will be more little setbacks, but I also know that I can overcome them. I am in this for the long haul. This is my new normal. And I am finally confident of that!

When i go too long without eating, i feel weak and like I'm starving...but most of the time from experience I do know that it's all in my head! Really. Yes, the calories do add up quickly but if you do some workouts you gain more calories. Just try and stay away from the fast food.
Everyone that left me some kind words or not so kind words took time away from their day for me! We are all here for each other and EVERYONE HERE made my day today by simply saying DON'T QUIT! DON'T GIVE UP! YOU CAN DO THIS!0 -

you no you can lose weight now ,so don't give up, just keep going and in a few months you will be pleased you did not quit because you have lost weight
YES I KNOW, IM STILL WORKING ON THE BE PATIENT PART0 -
, you need to be inspired by a quote from Henry Ford., " Failurue is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently." Start again today. You know how you loved that feeling of being "in control" you got from logging the food and exercises each day, seeing the progress, and knowing that you CAN do this!!
YES YES YES I LOVE IT!!! MORE INTELLIGENTLY...WOW0 -
He gives us free will and sometimes that means I make poor food choices, and give excuses for not exercising. Don't ever give up.
YES, I REALIZE THAT NOW. EXCUSES ARE JUST THAT ..EXCUSES0 -
Your slider says 14lbs lost!!!! You've already proven you can do it. i gained over december, I think everyone who wasn't sick gained over december. Today is another day. Start again.
THANKS, IM BACK AT IT, WITH A NEW PERSPECTIVE0 -
keep trying, because you can achieve your goals, whether you think your wrong or correct you are right and someday doesnt exist there is only today
Exactly, and that's why this time im only focusing on TODAY!! one day at a time0 -
If you want to look like that image you have of yourself in your heart/mind then you have to do this for YOU. No one else.Tomorrow IS a new day, a new start. You have to just get up, stop feeling sorry for yourself and tell yourself you are worth it. Cause you are.
that's exactly what it was, i was feeling sorry for myself, comparing myself to others and mad because i wasn't losing as fast as my friends were. I don't care anymore!!! if it takes me longer oh well. NEW MINDSET, one day at a time for me..0 -
. So just don't give up you can do this just take it one day at a time!!
That i will do, taking it ONE DAY AT A TIME0 -
A month from now, you'll wish you started today. You're making excuses, falling back on the fact that you screwed up during the holidays. Who cares! Even the people with the greatest will power mess up during the holidays sometimes! Take it one day at a time, and do not put it off until tomorrow.
If you feel like you just don't want to - doesn't matter. It's mind over matter - just do it. 0 -
SO really you are only 6 days into your "reset". Start over today. You have an entire year ahead of you and I promise, next Holiday season will not be so hard on you!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT! TOO CAUGHT UP IN FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE IT'S 6DAYS INTO RESET! LOL...0 -
Just accept what you ate over the holidays. I would just enter them in a text area on my phone, because it was hard to enter at a party and seemed rude. I did have multiple times where I had major calories. But in the end with exercise was able to make it manageable. Lost 5 lbs over the 2 months.0
