I'm getting really discouraged...

MFP is a great tool, but it's honestly starting to depress me. I liked it more when I was blissfully unaware of how much I was eating. I've lost twelve pounds since the beginning of May, but what with summer here now I can't stop eating barbeque & other delicious edibles that come with the warm weather. I'm over on calories almost every single day & every night I'm left with a feeling of failure after I'm done logging. I can't seem to get my eating under control.

I'm thinking about just giving up... :frown:

    A couple thoughts...

    If you have your calories set to lose two pounds a week, maybe set it at one pound a week to allow you to eat a few more calories and still lose weight.

    Or maybe add more exercise in order to allow for more calories?

    If what you want is to get fit and lose weight, which is why I believe you are here... then don't give up on yourself just because there is yummy food around. Why would you let barbeque have that much power over you? You are in control. Don't lose control of yourself and then lose sight of your goals!

    You CAN do this!
