in Motivation and Support
This time last year I was really into this. I was motivated and working out daily and feeling good. My eating wasn't always the best but I was getting there. And I had lost 48lbs! And then I fell off of everything. I have more than likely gained all the weight back, maybe even then some. I am so scared to weigh myself. How on earth do I get motivated again? I originally lost close to 100lbs and gained that back because I took an office job. I feel like such a failure!!

    Start fresh, and take one day at a time. Start by tracking everything you eat. Consider it a good day if you've tracked everything, even if you've gone over your goal calories.

    Tomorrow, take the next step and add some exercise, any exercise. Reduce your consumption to target levels and track everything. Even if you go over a bit, if you track and move, consider the day a succes.

    Repeat. After you've logged for a week, face the scales. You will have the positive feeling of having tracked and will be stronger. After you've been on track for a month, you will want to know what the scales said.

    You are not a failure until you quit trying.
