Trying Again.

in Introduce Yourself
I have to try this again. I am ashamed to say I have fallen off the wagon and now weigh more than when I first got on here. I need some friends to help yell at me. I am finding it really difficult to get back into my good habits I once had. Its like the harder I try the worse I sabotage myself. Please feel free to add me or I am more than open to advice! Thanks a bunch!

    I'm in the same boat! I've been back at it for a week but I'm struggling to keep going with what seemed really easy.

    I'll add you :)

    Yo, me too! I weigh more too. But, whereas before I'd only stay on a week, today I reached my 15 day streak. Hallelujah! Mainly for me I just had to get over that first really hard week of not wanting to admit how much I was eating and seeing my calories exceed my daily goal by a thousand or so. Now though, I am 4 pounds lighter and starting to get a lot more motivated.

    ITS HARD i know but its ok as long as u have ppl that can motivate you(this site) you will get through, i like looking at thinspiration pics and starting with small goals. my goals are weekly instead of." by the end of the month"or"in 5 months" i say in one week i want to lose 2 lbs. try that it might work easier

    I not only fell off the wagon, I rolled down a hill, and fell off a cliff. Climbing up from that fall has taken me a long time just to get ready to ride that wagon again. So I feel your pain. Feel free to add me, I'm a fellow crash and burner.

    Been here a year and have gone down and back up in weight. Saw a few similar posts when I first started and thought 'that wont be me', but after a few months and stressful life things happening before I knew it it was me. I have been back on for a few days now and doing well. OP we are already mfpals, so lets work together. Others feel free to add me too!

    I'm there too. My starting weight this time is 14lbs heavier than my starting weight when I first started using the app :( I quit smoking 6 weeks ago and have watched my weight go up and up.
    I'm started back on my low carb/high fat diet on Monday and have lost 5 pounds so far. Now that I've got a good handle on the smoking thing I feel ready to apply my dedication to my diet and exercise.
    It's hard getting back on that wagon but I know that if I can get through the first two weeks the cravings will stop and I won't spend every hour thinking about what I can eat next.

    Motivational people who know exactly what you're going through are extremely helpful.
