I feel soooo fat and i totally overate this forth of July weekend.... I have no motivation right now and that makes me want to eat more. I am 153lbs and I saw some pictures of myself that we took 2 days ago and I am so ashamed of how my body looks :(

    And this is why we all turned up on this wonderful site. If you work hard, and use those pics and how your feeling for motivation, a positive energy will come from that. I felt the same its what drives most of us.

    Try and find things you do like about yourself. We all have a kind of self hatred, when were not what we want to be but dont let it floor you. If you want change, make it happen, there are so many people here that will support you along the way, me included ((((((((hugs)))))))))) xxx

    I'd give my eyeteeth to be 153 lbs ;)

    That being said, the worst thing you can do is continue to overeat just because you overate last weekend. Put the weekend behind you and start fresh, today, RIGHT NOW. Every day is a new day and a new opportunity to succeed! C'mon, you can do this!

    Ok, sometimes you need a little love, and sometimes you need tough love. If you are ashamed, the only one that can fix the problem is you. Get up and move. Even if it starts as a walk around the block, it is a start that may very well lead to you feeling like exercising more. Detox your body: drink plenty of water and eat whole foods and you will get back on track.

    You can do this.

    I agree with Jaradel!
    Start over this minute. Draw a line for yourself and start fresh.

    I start over all the time. The most important thing is to keep trying!

    Move on! That's what I do every time that I overeat. Move on. YOU CAN DO THIS!!

    P.S. I weigh 152 and feel pretty good about it... I guess we all carry our weight differently. :-)

    We have those days or holidays where it was a bbq or family gathering, etc...dont let that bring you down. Keep reminding yourself why its important to you and know that you can start over. Once you get your mind in check everything else will follow. :flowerforyou:

    It's great that you're here, and you're posting about it. Now it's time to do something about it, if you really want to change it. You CAN. You've got all the tools right here that you need, and the support to help you. Maybe start by setting a reasonable, mini-goal.... not necessarily your end you weight. Maybe it's something as simple as "Today, I will log all my food." Or drink all my water. Or limit my calories. Or move for 10 minutes. Just start. You can do this! And next year, you can be the center of attention and the center of every photo. :-D

    Don't beat yourself up about the weekend. For what it is worth, I would kill to be 153 right now. (currently 173). You need to make a decision to start fresh. I joined MFP in the spring and did really well for a 3-4 weeks then got off track and basically gave up. Realized the other day that I was 10 pound heavier then when I started so I decided to start again. Of course the day after I started logging again was invited to an last minute cookout for the 4th and then the next night invited out for dinner and drinks with a friend who is a Missionary and is only around in the summer so I don't turn down any opportunity to spend time with her. We end up at a Mexican restaurant so we all know that isn't healthy food...not to mention that the margaritas we on special too! But today is a new day and I will do my best. That is all I can ask of myself. Cut yourself some slack for what is in the past and just get back with it. Today is a new day...YOU CAN DO THIS!
