There seems to be a common theme here this week on the same issue I have struggled with for a long long time. You work really hard and are doing great, feeling great, when wham! You take yourself out by using food in less than healthy ways. I don’t know if there are rules about sharing sources, so please let me know if I’m not supposed to put podcast names out there and delete this. But this week I listened to a podcast The Model Health Show about just this topic. I’ll share the title and number and you can decide for yourself if it looks helpful. It’s: TMHS March 4 episode 273 Shawn Stevenson is the host and his guest that day was Christine Hassler. Topic was “Elminate Self-Sabotage and break through your limiting beliefs”. It was enlightening. We’re all doing the best we can and beating ourselves up because we haven’t reached “perfection” in our behavior doesn’t mean we’re not moving forward. Lessons are sometimes best learned on the toughest days. One lesson is to be as kind to ourselves as we would be to a friend in the same boat.
Enjoy the day!6 -

I don't know if I can say I find comfort in knowing I am not the only one struggling right now. I really feel for @aganey. It takes a lot to maintain the motivation and drive to stick to healthy habits, because they are intangible. I fell off the bandwagon last two weeks - was sick, started a new job, hence did not go to the gym AND ate more than usual. I was reluctant to weigh myself. But as @nebslp said above, we need to be kind to ourselves, that also includes allowing ourselves to be off-track from time to time. So I will go back to the gym tomorrow. And with spring around the corner, I am sure all of us will be more active with more outdoor activities.2

I have the same problem. I can lose ten pounds, working hard, keeping track and then slowly I start to gain, one pound at a time. I want to get through this plateau. My sister does something called morning pages. I think some of us carry a lot of pain or mistakes from the past or regrets, and we comfort ourselves with food. Morning pages means every day write down all your thoughts, anything that comes to mind. Let it all out. Then, shred the paper; no need to keep it, since someone may read it. If you're interested in morning pages, google author Julie Cameron.
By the way, I dont do morning pages. I really need to however! It could be just what I need. But my sister is a big believer in it. Xo
Here's an article about it:

It's definitely just a small bump in the road. Keep up the good spirit!!Hi all, Weigh in today very disappointing. I was 178.8- EXACTLY the same as last week! This is so crazy as I had a colonoscopy Monday (joys of getting older) and had to spent Sunday fasting...literally no solid food. I think it put my body into starvation mode - I sometimes feel that in a post apocalyptic world I would be the last one standing- happily surviving on one blade of grass a day! I am going to try not to let it get me down...and to keep in mind that I am 10lbs down and this is just a bump in the road. I will get to the gym today and get my fitbit working! One day at a time....Ill make it up next week- I promise team!!

Thank you everyone for all the kind words. It helped so much just to get my feelings out. It means so much to know I can be so candid and in return get an outpouring of support. You all are so strong and supportive and amazing. I still haven't logged my food this week due to my son being on spring break and we have just been going non stop with activities. I'm not eating my best but I'm not eating my worst either. I'm also staying very active. Im not going to beat myself up no matter what the scale says come Friday. Also, tom has come and the week before is ALWAYS my worst week with cravings and emotions (hence the vent and the horrible eating). I need to get a plan in place for that week each month. Knowledge is power and I need to use it to my advantage. Again thanks for all the support, we are all in this together and you all have definitely made me feel less alone in this battle.4
