Looking back at my diary for this week I've been eating terribly. Fast food galore, sugar packed juices... I had Popeyes you guys?! The horror...

I've been doing this since February and I'm losing my wind. What do you do to kick yourself back into gear?

    I look in the mirror, turn sideways and look at my pooch gut. That kills cravings like nothing else. basically you need to decide if sugar and fast food makes you happier than looking good in your jeans and feeling better about yourself and your health overall.

    Psshht, for the longest time I've had one hand on the back of the wagon being dragged behind. Just have to take each day and not beat yourself up for a day's indiscretion. Actually studies have shown that over the long term that day you overdid won't hurt you. It's the multiple days of overdoing that do it. As I have well discovered while trying to jump back in that wagon.

    Each day can be a fresh start. At some stage you need to look at why you were binging and ask yourself why you couldnt moderate or why you felt the need to binge as opposed to continuing on your journey. I dont worry about whats past but I would try and learn from it so I can avoid those mistakes in future. Other than that dont beat yourself up and try to make better choices.

    If you cnat go straight bak to your plan, then transition back in over a week or so gradyally reducing your calories down to the level needed.

    First, take a deep breath. For now, think about making one small step in the right direction. This doesn't have to be an all or nothing proposition. If you do well keeping that small step going, add another. Pretty soon, all of these small steps add up. I find this is way less stressful. Good luck!

    In the red almost everyday. Except workout days.

    Idk what's going on with me this week... Am I stressed? Sad? Bored? ..maybe all three. Maybe it's just my period. :s

    You have to find that desire to be healthy again and get back to it. I started slipping after losing a significant amount of weight because I felt better than I had, but still being overweight, I knew I had to go further. So I let myself have some days and then got back to it.
