Pity party

80 pounds is a huge accomplishment! Way to go!!!!!!!!! One thing that I have learned is you cannot beat yourself up over a food choice. If you never indulge in what you crave, you are more likely to go on a huge binge. Just focus on the here and now and decide what you are going to eat today.

I still have about 40 pounds to lose. If you want to add me, I'd be more than happy to take this journey with you.

Don't focus on the bad..... You have lost 60 pounds.... That in itself is amazing..... You know you got this..... Just get your head back in the game. You've done 80 so 40 you got this girl. We all have bad weeks. Mine was last week trying to rearrange the rooms in my house trying to get it ready for honey's home dialysis, I was constantly on the go moving this and that trying to designate one room for him to do it in, some days I ate way too much, others I barely at all from the stress of it all. I have faith in you. Chin up butter cup..... .

Correction 80 pounds... I have losst 60. LOL

60 is an awesome loss - congrats. So you know what you have done wrong........time to hop back on the train and get going. It will happen! :flowerforyou:

We have those days...you just have to take a deep breath..forgive yourself...and start over fresh

Congratulations on losing 80 pounds, that is an incredible accomplishment!

As you lose weight and get closer to your goal, it does get a little hard and it comes off slower because it's harder to create a deficit.

If you are craving Mcdonald's, Wendy's and pizza, adjust your calories to fit these in. I eat this kind of food frequently, I just try not to eat too much. Maybe your calorie budget it too low if you're fiding it difficult to stick to it. So maybe choose a calorie goal that is a smaller deficit from your TDEE - 10-15%. It's ok to lose slowly!

Here is a good motivation quote I just read: "really successful people feel the same boredom and the same lack of motivation that everyone else feels. They don't have some magic pill that makes them feel ready and inspired every day. But the difference is that the people who stick with their goals don't let their emotions determine their actions. Top performers still find a way to show up, to work through the boredom, and to embrace the daily practice that is required to achieve their goals." So put the fast food binge behind you, and move on. Switch up your food choices, try some new healthy recipes, take a new workout class, do whatever it takes to re-inspire yourself. Don't give up! This is a journey. Even when you reach your end goal you will still have to work to maintain. Also remember to have patience when you try new calorie levels, it takes a while for your body to adjust

Sometimes we slide off the path. It feels terrible, but we can't let it consume us. So you did bad the past weak. Does that mean you can't do good next week, the week after, or ever again? Nope. You've done awesome thus far. Keep pushing forward and be healthy with your body and your mind. If you slip up, don't beat yourself up. Just look at it and figure out why you slipped up. And the answer to the why is never that you're weak or have poor willpower. There's always a true root reason and that's what you want to identify. When you answer the why, apply it to your goals and keep on moving forward. You got this!
