Things I am tired of:
Gaining weight
Losing the weight
Gaining all and them some weight back
Dieting
Losing the weight
Getting comfortable
Gaining Weight
Losing weight


...You get the point here


This is just a vicious cycle that I am tired of repeating over and over again. This time around, I will never gain the weight I have lost, again (almost 40lbs). Eating my good ol' fashioned southern food is amazing but none of it is healthy. I am sick of gaining weight and losing it to only gain again. Buying smaller clothes to only put them away because I can't fit them so I have to buy bigger clothes and then not fit into those when I go back to my smaller clothes again.


No, this time WILL be different and this time, I will reach my goal and maintain that weight FOREVER. I am done with being fat and I hope you're too! LETS GO! haha

    You can do it. Stop dieting and start living healthy and never get "comfortable". You should always be trying to be better tomorrow than you were today. Once you are at a good weight , you can make other fitness goals like being able to deadlift XXX pounds or increasing your running speed or distance. You can always try for one more pull up. You should always be challenging yourself so you don't get too comfortable.

    I am definitely done. This past year I've been going up and down the same twenty pounds instead of losing the last ten that I set myself to lose, and it's exhausting. Can't be healthy, either. Every time I get desperate and decide to start again, my diet gets more and more extreme. Not even going to say what I did to lose this last time.

    So no more. Counting every calorie and getting this last bit off, then I'm going to stay there if I have to padlock the fridge and get myself banned from every bakery in town. I wonder if they'd do that? Casinos will let you ban yourself...hm. I need a self-imposed bakery ban.

    ABSOLUTELY DONE!
    I lost about 50 pounds 5 years ago and have gained it all back plus some 'friends' (AKA: more pounds)...so I'm back to the basics. Weighing and measuring food, getting in some form of exercise or movement every day. It's tough because I am a total foodie BUT with big life changes on the horizon (planning on starting a family) - the time is NOW!
    We can all do this the right, healthy way - just keep on keepin' on and NEVER EVER give up!

    The OP sounds like my last 5 years ....

    End of 2008 I was 312lbs ....... I managed to lose over 100lbs over the first 8-9 months of 2009 and thought "wow ... I've done this!".

    I'd been weighing myself daily to the point it had become almost compulsive but loved the fact that I could buy clothes off the rail and know they'd fit.

    Then .... I stopped weighing .... I KNEW I'd put on but was afraid to see how much....

    At the end of 2013 I was just over 280lbs again having had to put all the smaller clothes away. Now - I've reduced starchy carbs and don't eat anything processed. The majority of my food is now Fresh meat / vegetables and I'm down 40lbs to 246lbs as of this morning.

    I don't feel hungry nor deprived and still eat potatoes and rice in moderation at weekends (and still drink a couple of beers / some red wine) ... and I'm at the gym 3 times a week.

    I am done being fat!

    Diary is open / happy to receive FR.

    I'm not fat, I have fat. I am done being unhealthy, unfit, and depressed, though. I'm looking forward to continuing a lifetime of sustainable eating and exercise habits, something I can do for a lifetime. That's what's different for me this time around. Congratulations on your current and continued success--you/we got this. Let's go! :)

    I'm done too. Tired of starting out good with eating and exercising, seeing results, sabotaging then having to start all over again. Ridiculous.

    I'm tired of my friend beating me in races. I want to get to where I can beat him again and crush him. I want to finally run a sub 4-hour marathon. I want to compete in my first ever Ironman. To do this, I have to lost weight and gain strength and endurance. These things I will do.

    It's not about fat, it's about fit for me.

    It's about fitness. Even when I was a 2-sport athlete in freaking excellent shape, I was considered "fat" by conventional beauty standards - I wore a size 10/12 at 5'8 and 176, which drove me into a fun few years of battling with eating disorders. "Thin" is literally physically impossible as a goal for me and I refuse to pursue it. I'll always be fat, so I'm just looking to be stronger and healthier.
