    DON'T give up!!!!!! what is it you are tempted with?? can you eat a little and track it?? EVEN IF YOU EAT it...just TRACK it ... you will feel better about moving on if you do! I JUST learned that and it's great. :)

    Sorry you are going through that right now though :( I get it!

    I hear you; and it doesn't even have to be related to the weight loss itself, but anything that is causing troubles in life.

    Tomorrow's a new day

    No giving up, you can do this!!!! Just becasue you fall off the wagon for a day or two or a week, it doesn't matter as long as you get back up and start at it again. We are not perfect, so it is ok to fall and get back up again.

    What ever you do, DON'T GIVE UP. There will be good days and bad days. If you have to give in, log it, and maybe do a littel extra to burn it. Focus on your long term goals, and on something positive. Whatever happens, this feeling will be gone soon and tomorrow is an opportunity to start fresh. You can do this. Don't give in to the dark side!

    I'm feeling the same right now. I have been working out like crazy for a while, running, strength training and I gained 2lbs!!!!! What the heck!!!! I have even increased my workout time. I know I probably need to adjust some of my eating but I have been making changes, but it just doesn't seem to be making a difference. Very discouraging.....what to do.. what to do????

    I feel your pain.

    I absolutely know how you feel...and as it is...I'm having a horrible day too - but my advice is still - don't give up! Its the same advice I continue to give myself! I've been reading your page just to get some encouragement from the people giving you encouragement. I just started this and have been doing really good - kinda down cuz I think I'm PMS'ing and after a 2 hour workout last night and eating under my calories I gained a pound...now that just really did it! So I know how you feel! But the end WILL justify the means! Hang in there!

    It's okay to feel that way sometimes, but when you get up tomorrow morning, it's a new day. Remind yourself that YOU deserve to have what you want. Being fit and healthy is worth a little struggle.

    The feeling does suck. It's fine to take a break for awhile though. Just maintain your current level and relax for awhile until you're revved up and ready to continue.

    I understand, I was there and you pushed me to keep going. You got this, today is a new day and you have a fresh start. Success always comes when you try a bit less. Keep trucking along and just rest a bit by maintaining. You will be recharged before you know it! Keep going!!!

    It's okay to feel that way. Notice the feeling, hold it, and then release it. It is not really want you want is it? Breathe in spirit, breathe out frustration.
