    I'll play your silly game; Why did you get close to your goal and then sabotage yourself?

    I don't know, but fix it. You sabotaged yourself so you can save yourself too.

    Hey!!! Dont feel bad. I had nothing but junk and stayed nearly within my calories. It was fun but I feel terribly ill. I just got done looking at success stories and am ready for tomorrow to get back on track to feel better too!

    Make the next right choice.
    And get counselling to figure out what you are medicating with food?

    Fear of success?

    Being tired of dieting?

    Wanting to reward yourself for your hard work?

    Because you're human?

    The question shouldn't be why, but HOW you are going to fix it.

    It's easier to eat bad food and be lazy than it is to prepare healthy food and make time to exercise.
    There is something comfortable for you about the extra weight.
    It all comes down to a choice, and everyone on here who is successful makes choices too.
    Make the right choices for awhile and see how you feel -- if you don't like it you can always go back to making the wrong ones. Good luck.

    Success can be frightening. In a sense it adds responsibility.

    What now???
    Can I maintain this success???
    How did it change my life???
    Etc...Etc...

    I think that there is also the aspect of...did we obtain with this success (reaching goal weight) all of the things that we thought it would give us. Yes...we weigh less but are we healthier...more active...change our life style. Did we really learn to eat healthier...learn portion control? Can we walk further...run faster...left heavier?

    I think sometimes that success can mask what we failed to do. Sure we look smaller...appears that we have accomplished great things...but did we really change anything? Did we change what caused us to gain the weight in the first place?

    There is also that fear...maintaining is more difficult than losing.

    OP...learn from what you call "sabotage" and move forward. You really haven't sabotaged yourself unless you give up and stop trying.

    Maybe because you were so close to goal and subconsciously thought - I can finish off any time and I deserve a break.

    For me, there's the little voice that says "You're 5 lbs. from goal weight, and you suspect you still won't be happy with yourself even when you're at a 'perfect' weight. If you never reach goal, then you'll never find out that it isn't because you're fat that you hate yourself. You'll still hate yourself at goal weight because being fat isn't what's 'wrong' with you. So eat that cookie, don't reach goal weight, and you can go on lying to yourself that being overweight is the reason you are single/can't get a promotion/aren't happy/daddy never loved you/etc."

    But I'm introspective, and I think about that kind of thing. I'm not saying that's the OP or the OP's reason.

    Just because you eat too much one day doesn't mean you sabotaged yourself. Just get back to it the next day.

    All too true for many of us.
