How do I stop this roller-coaster of a weight-loss ride?
I tried Weight Watchers, didn't care for the meetings, cuz well I'm super shy. So I decided to come back to MFP! Bottom line, I do great at work, I get home and I have this huge pantry full of snacks. It's easier said than done to simply say "just stop buying them".
Ugggh...before I go all over the place with the big ole mountain of excuses as to why I am back here, I will stop.
Need/Crave daily motivation but I have this introverted personality!
So, here I am at my biggest EVER, I really hope to find a safe-house so to speak here.

Try and set yourself little goals I find that a lot easier than thinking omg I have 100+lbs to lose. I try and go half a stone at a time or say the goal is to get under a certain stone then the next1

You should be safe here. We are all here looking for that extra drive and motivation to stay in the road to be a better person physically. Keep grinding, you'll get there0

Welcome! I get the introvert part, and the snack-at-home part. The after-work problem is one of my biggest "trouble spots" in terms of food. I am an introvert-ish sort, but I have a job that requires some intense interaction with people from time to time. I love my job, but by the end of the day, I'm mentally exhausted, which makes those snacks look really attractive from a treat point of view. I am also just plain hungry by the time I get home, and it is so tempting to eat a little snack, that turns into a big snack etc.
Not sure if it will help, YMMV, but FWIW, eating a small protein dose about an hour before I leave work - an egg, or a yogurt, or some beef jerky, along with a little fruit, really helps me to avoid the snacks when I get home. I think it is because the protein makes me feel full, the fruit gives me a little quick energy, and because I'm not ravenous, I can avoid eating food I hadn't planned on before dinner.0 -
