Hi All Ya
! Can't say what I wanted to or I would get bleeped. :bigsmile: Just joined tonite. Will keep it short. Biggest problem is after I lose all of my wt. countless times I sabotage my hard earned efforts by starting to eat snacks & going out to restaurants (buffets) & then gaining it all back again. Was at my target wt. before beg. of summer but gained 10 lbs at end. Now have 20 lbs to lose. Need some support & diet buddies to help me to start exercising again & also not to binge. Kathy from NJ. Welcome all age groups to chat w/me but prefer the oldie but goodie crowd cuz I'm no Spring chicken at 59.

Welcome to MFP. You will find support here. Committment is hard, but so worth it. This is the first time I have been dead serious about losing the weight and keeping it off. It is not about losing it just so I can start eating badly again. This is a lifestyle change. If I ever reach my goal, I will still be here logging my meals and I will definitely keep exercising. I'm no spring chicken either, 47, but I've been heavy all my life so this is a HUGE change for me. Keep at it, it will get easier and easier to eat and do the right things.0

PBJSAND: Liked your comment about a "Lifestyle Change" if only I could stick with it. I know what foods are bad for me but I keep on eating them. Like tonite I had 3 slices of bread & also 2 pieces of Italian rum cake along with my dinner. My willpower has been nil lately. I need to go back on my diet again or I will be gaining it all back before you know it. I usually do OK while at work with the breakfast & lunch but when I come home after dinner seems to be the hardest for me. Kathy from NJ. Hope that you & other members will write back to me soon as I really do need the encouragement. :drinker:0

Welcome on board moonball, this is a really great site everyone is so supportive and when you stick to it the results do come. In regards to yo yo-ing weight wise I found it really useful to keep a paper food journal for 2/3weeks when i am struggling and write down how I was feeling when eating, what i was doing i.e.
Monday 6am: Half asleep, tired not really hungry at home
same day 10am: bag of chips, kit kat work busy forgot fruit, stressed out at work
3pm: toast x 4 slices with butter & jam, bag of chips x 2 soooo hungry after shift, bored too
5pm: soup eating due to it being tea time
7pm: ice cream bag of chips bored watching t.v.
I hope you get the idea, then through doing this you will begin to see the link between when you are most likely to sabotage your hard work...I find if I skip meals or am bored or upset I am more likely to over-eat.
Not sure if this is helpful but hope you find the site useful to continuing your weight loss journey
