Letting all my hard work go! Help me Please

try something else...there's tons of classes, DVD's and work out programs to try..maybe you're just bored...and if you're anything like me I eat the most when i'm bored.

Looking forward to what people have to say. I've lost about 10 lbs, maybe a bit more (haven't checked in a while) and I feel like I really just don't care anymore. Completely unmotivated. I'm super lazy and I'm back to eating badly.......I hate hate hate hate hate it!! I find making short term goals is good. For example, 'Today I won't drink soda' or 'This week, I am going to take the stairs' and stuff like that.

Find something new that excites you. You are in plateau mode and need something new. Good thing you keep exercising but maybe that needs a change too because your body gets used to something and doesn't work as hard as it could. The more you beat yourself up about what you are eating the more you will eat.

The glass can be half full or half empty. I have found that with weight loss you NEED to ALWAYS look at the glass being half full. It's about motivation.

From my experience nothing is going to help you get on track unless you really really want it! I have tried and tried to lose weight for the last 2 years. I would keep on saying I am going to do this and it would last for a couple weeks then i would just quit and eat whatever i wanted. Finally I said you know what enough is enough and I am really going to stick to it this time! I wanted it that badly and have stuck with it for like a month now and feel good. I didn't lose any weight the first few weeks and got very discouraged but still stuck with it and just modified my calories a little and lost 2.5 lbs in the last week. A couple of things that helped me was to make my calorie count visable to friends and be 100 percent honest on it! That way before i eat or even make something I enter it on here and think do i really want this? I ask myself.....would i want other people to know that i am eating this! That has stopped me from getting fast food quite a few times when I was with other people that got it! Another thing that i did was put a very unflattering picture of myself on the fridge and a picture of when i was thinner!!! Everytime i go to get something to eat I see those pictures and see what I want to be again and it makes me make better choices!!! Good luck and if you need encouragement I am here!!!

First - Great job on the weight loss so far. That is awesome!!! You are arleady 3/4 th of the way to your goal. You can do this last little bit !!!

I know where you are coming from with out of control eating. I can slip up with diet and exercise and pick the exercise right back up without a problem but the eating.... I eat very healthy and make good food choices but and that's a big but I eat too much and too often. I am working on maintaining my weight loss - ( I have a range of three pounds around my goal. ) One thing that helps me is, I log everything in as I eat it. Either before or right after my meal or snack. That way I see what I am doing and try to correct it before it gets too bad. I also make sure I get my water in. I am not sure that will help you but it helps me. It does get harder as you get closer to your goal and I have found that switching up my diet or exercise helps too. If I was doing low fat - I switch to low carb. I was doing spinning - I switched to running. Hope this helps or maybe gives you some ideas.

Oh it's also helpful to join one of the threads. I found that to be helpful to me too. When I was looking to lose those last ten pesty pounds I found a thread and stayed with that for a couple of months. It's help with support from other MFP that are trying to do the same thing. It helps keep you accountable and motivated.

Have a happy healthy day!!!!!
