    OP, you are doing great! Time to give yourself a break and stop that fretting! There are going to be stumbling blocks along the way.....sometimes you can side-step them or step over them.....other times, you will have to pick yourself up, dust off and continue on the journey! A sense of humor helps! Laugh and move on! :flowerforyou:

    In fairness the op is not doing great and i am not one for the go girl culture, they have lost a little weight, doing great is a stretch


    You're ****ting me, right?

    not at all, too many on here believe sugar coating helps, weak people need to wake up, 4 pounds in a month isn't great, wonderful, magic or even average, if someone says i look like brad pitt doesn't make it so, i know i am more like johnny depp

    What are you talking about? 4 pounds a month averages a pound a week, which IS average and healthy. You need to get off your high horse and spread your rubbish elsewhere.

    +1

    to be pedantic 4 pounds a month isn't a pound a week, it also couldn't be perceived as great, average at best which was my point, but in mfp style yeah 4 pounds a month is monumental. you go girl, keep it up, whoopee etc......

    or the op could evaluate and do better which long term would help them but no negatives here, no sir

    Oh noes, I've only lost 4 lbs since February, I should just give up, I'm doing terribly.

    Don't give up just do better besides you might only need to lose a little anyhow, either way eye of the tiger and all that

    Step back and ask yourself, what exactly have you ruined? And for how long will this ruination last?
  • A quote I find helpful is "one day at a time." You can't go faster than that and one day at a time isn't so hard. Stop obsessing about weight loss, pursue other hobbies and interests, and eventually you WILL get there! You can do it!

    Every minute is another chance to turn it around. You are not a failure, you are human. I've done it and everybody on this site has or else we wouldn't be here. Chin up!

    You are all so mean to each other. This is supposed to be a supportive site. Sure accountability is important but ripping each other apart seems really counterproductive.

    If we didnt have set backs we wouldnt learn. So instead of thinking of yourself as failure thinking of yourself as a teacher. You are teaching yourself what you should or shouldnt do. Nothing in life is perfect so dont expect this whole weight loss journey to be perfect either. Its a rollercoaster ride and you are going to go up and down. But remember you only fail when you have stopped trying. So in my books you are far from a failure! Chin up! :)

    Look I don't know what you do for a living, but honestly you should be a comedian! I am laughing so hard after reading this thread. I've had my medicinal daily dose of laughter - so good for the soul. For goodness sake everyone else, take this man's responses 'with a pinch of salt'. He obviously doesn't know any better. :wink:
