    this shows that you are actually NOT a quitter.. you realize you want it.. you just might not have come to the time where you want it bad enough. when i started, i didnt believe for one minute that i would lose ANY weight. but i went at this full force with my all and couldnt help but continue cuz i saw results. now two years later, it isnt as easy.. the weight doesnt just drip off... but i know im not done. i chose this path.. it was and is a lifestyle change for me.. i plan to have to use this for life.

    you say you dont know how to keep it off? you have to continue doing whatever it was that helped you get it off in the first place. not saying that every single day you have to live by all the rules.. but after the day of rule breaking, you have to get back to kicking butt again.

    and why bother? because honestly.. you will feel better!

    best of luck to you!! just hang tough.

    Willpower is the biggest enemy for me - and it sounds like for you too. Sometimes we have it beat and we eat right and feel great; other times we just lose it and eat crap and feel soooo guilty..... and then give up.

    I have been yo yo dieting since I was 15........ I beat your 25 times easy!! What made it different this time? Knowledge that time was running out when losing weight would make a difference to the rest of my life. Knowing that if i didnt do it now, I would HAVE to do it later to allievate health issues rather than trying to avoid them. I don't want to be on blood pressure tablets like my obese sister; I don't want to be border line diabetic as I was at my heaviest. So I made a choice to not 'go on another diet' but to change the way I eat for the rest of my life.

    This site has helped immensely - but at the end of the day I did this, not MFP, not my friends, but ME. And I am proud of myself, and that has kicked willpowers butt.

    I do not intend to put the weight back on this time. I don't have a crystal ball that tells me if I succeed or not, but this time I have no reason to stop dieting as I was never on one in the first place!

    Good luck with your journey, and only you can fulfill your goals, but we would love to help you if we can :)
