    I let my eating get bad again. Kept making excuses to why it was okay. Then I started slacking on exercising. I am trying very hard to get back at it now. I have gained some weight back and that is upsetting me so much. Luckily I have not had to get a bigger size clothes to wear. I am still in a size 8....for now.

    I refuse to focus on negative aspects.

    I chose to focus on what works. What works for me is simple: accurately count all my calories in, and stay within my calorie cap.

    For me, I keep my calories set at maintenance and I just eat around 250 to 500 below that to lose. As long as I do that consistently, including weekends, then I hit my goals.

    The reason I do it this way is that if I go over, I don't want that to be negative. I can eat up to maintenance and still not gain. So, it's ok with me.

    That's how I succeed. And, I just try to generally be active.

    That sounds like a very good approach. I may have to try that out if I can't get myself back into the swing of things. I feel horrible when I go over my calories.

    and my scale -_- maybe i should just update my goal to be happier with how i look rather than a set #

    I like that goal. I determined a number will never determine my worth or happiness. Being fit and doing good things, though, make me happy.

    Wine, Weekends and the people in my life who constantly encourage me to snack on crappy foods with them (and my willpower to say "NO!")

    Booze and Lifestyle!
    I can keep my willpower in check until I have a drink. Than everything is out the window and I don't care.
    I need to change my lifestyle to facilitate weight lose. Meaning putting eating and working out first on the priority list.

    Snacking, lack of ambition, being lazy, overeating?

    all of the above.

    I am 29 and have been working on "fixing" these for years. Obviously I haven't yet. I just like junk food. I don't have any excuses. I realize it's something I will always have to deal with, so I just try to workout regularly and eat healthily most of the time.

    Wine. I exercise almost every day and eat right. I should be at my goal by now, but wine has me maintaining.
