    I hear ya.. time off can equal disaster.. just log it in and then when u feel like doing it again look back at ur log and remember how it made u feel.. dont cheat.. you are only cheating yourself... i log the good the bad and they ugly.. only way this will work..

    make sure you write them down... the more you see it go up, perhaps that will motivate you again. do you have the app on your phone? if u can, use it and log your intake as soon as you eat.... during even!

    Dont cheat! u can do it!

    Same thing here. It is hard when you take a week off.

    I had the same problem towards the end of May. I had taken time off after my college graduation and totally ate like a pig. Getting back into the swing of things is difficult but do what you can. If you are really having a problem try setting a goal of logging at least one meal as accurately as you can for a period of days. Then add on for the next time and gradually get yourself back into the swing of things. And remember you are only human! It is ok to stray once and a while so don't beat yourself up about it, just take it in stride and keep on going. Good luck!:smile:

    write everything down even if you cheat. It may take time to get back into the groove but you can do it! Just think about how hard you've worked, how badly you want it and how great you'll feel when you get back at it. Also (for future use) I heard a statement once about falling off the wagon: When you cheat, make sure to exercise and if you don't exercise make sure you don't cheat. Always keep one hand on the wagon so it's easier to get back on it! : )
