    I am trying to focus on getting healthier and a life style change, rather then a diet (tried weight loss many times before with no long term success). I try to track the day before and if i want something i will have a little or pre-plan it. I find now that i eat less because my tummy is smaller, so i get full faster. But the most important thing for me is, when a slip up happens, pick yourself up and keep on going. day by day, it will eventually happen. :) Everybody is different but that's my thought for myself.

    Thank you to all of you for those replies! I want to quote so many of the wonderful things you said but it would take way too long because everyone added something! Very helpful responses, and now that it is tomorrow, you all helped me feel motivated and regret-free about the setback.

    I don't intentionally overeat. Sometimes I underestimate what is in my food and am surprised when I calculate it. But, I have been pretty good so far staying in my calorie goal. I don't have any foods that are off limits, I just have to make room for them or exercise more. Don't beat yourself up though, just start a new day
  • I slip up very very often. I'm not proud of it and I have a long way to go with my relationship with food. However, I have never let myself creep up to my starting weight and the trend is downward, so I could imagine a much worse situation. Still, I would probably be at or near my goal right now if I hadn't given in so much. Haha oh well, just gotta strive to do better.
