Why am I gaining on diet?

I've been at this diet thing for a year. I've recently slipped up (a little) but I've gained like 15 lbs back. What do I need to do to continue losing without starving myself? (I'm supposed to eat 1250 a day)

You can't slip "a little" and gain 15 lbs back...
You can slip a lot and gain 15 lbs back.
Losing without starving? Eat more!0 -
A calorie deficit for weight loss and exercise for fitness. If you are not losing weight, there is a miscalculation somewhere along the line.

Weigh and measure your food. Log every day, consistently. That's how you lose weight.0 -

^this!
it's impossible to gain 15lbs and only have slipped "a little" -- first step in losing the weight again -- be honest with yourself. otherwise, it will never happen.
also, get rid of the word diet! in order to keep it off, you have to have an entire lifestyle CHANGE. not a diet that you follow for a few months and then go back to what you were doing before.
my guess, is that was your "slip up"
best of luck to you!0 -
Thanks! The gain was slow, but consistent. I just like desserts too much and deny that I had them in large quantities...0
