I was doing so so well with my diet. I lost about 11lbs eating healthy and exercising...then I blew it. Big style.

For the past 2 months i've eaten everything and anything. Today I had eight slices of bread. EIGHT!

Knew i'd have put weight on, its impossible for me not to have. Didnt want to weigh myself because I knew i'd be upset.

I gave in and weighed myself today - 7lbs on!

Feel like crap. Tomorrow i'm starting back on Slimming World as it seems to work and is the easiest for me to stick to.

I just have to remember how I feel right now every time I feel like eating something I shouldnt.

    That's right - get back on the horse! You can totally do this. And, remember, that some of that 7 pounds is likely water retention - lots of carbs do that to me too.

    If you have eaten anything and everything for 2 months and put on 7lb its not that bad. It could have been worse...you could have avoided the scales for more than a year, ate buckets of ben & jerrys and put on 3 stone+- But you didn't do that. You are back in action now. You know what you have done and although you have gone back a bit, you need to move forward now.

    This journey is never easy- but YOU CAN DO IT! By posting here you have accepted that there needs to be a change so start afresh and you will get there!! It is possible to lose 3 lbs in a week if you work out and keep to 1200 cals plus exercise cals.

    You can have the 7lbs off within a month. Good Luck!:smile:

    its a journey, and a hard one at that. as the other said- 7 lbs isnt the end of the world. just remember how good you feel when u are in control- and get back on the horse (and dont have a "last supper" style dinner tonight!)

    this fall was hard for me. i gained 20, yes 20 lbs in 4 months due to a buying a house and moving along with stress eating at work almost everyday during a really high tempo couple of months (12-19 hr hectic days). ive lost 12 of them, and i still have the other 8, along with an extra 17 to go. its a process...but we will get there!

    Or.. maybe try something different this time? I'm not saying this to be mean, but you didn't actually stick to SW, did you? Why don't you try to find a way of eating that you can really stick to - like, forever. Something that doesn't feel like you're on a diet at all, because it's just how you eat. Something where there aren't foods that you "should" or "shouldn't" eat, there's just food, and you just try to eat the right amount of it. Something that you can't fall off or lose control of, because you're eating the foods you love and doing the exercise you enjoy doing, and have a healthy relaxed relationship with food.

    I realise this will probably come across as negative or unsupportive, but that's just my take on it. Good luck. :smile:
