I truly hope that this time I can do it and I can stay motivated even if I don't see the results I want. It has been really hard and I can't keep leaving feeling like this. It's a torture thinking about my weight day in and day out and feeling guilty every time I eat. I just want to learn to love myself.

    I completely understand the losing motivation! When I don't see results as soon I want too I lose motivation very fast, plus I've struggled with developing an eating disorder before and now that I'm overweight it's super hard not to feel guilty every time I eat. But you can do it! I'm starting over again as well and the struggle to stay motivated is real and I have to constantly remind myself that it takes time and that food is fuel for my body!

    Guilt is intended to imprison you. Consider choosing to forgive yourself for becoming overweight and accept that you are forgiven. Take one hour at a time. Figure out why you want to lose weight and let that be your motivation. You have the power to make good choices. Tell yourself that. Be encouraged.

    It's time to take control--that's the beauty of calorie counting (for me). Finally, I was the one in the drivers seat. After the first week, it hit me that I could do this. So, I hope the same for you. Plug your stats into MFP, get your calorie goal, buy a digital scale, weigh and measure everything you eat and drink, and try to stay within that goal everyday. Consistency is important, but if you do go over, just start again the next day. Try to move more. Walking is good at first. It will help with your mood, as well as other physical benefits.
