    You have a long road ahead of you. There will be some bumps in the road...maybe even some potholes. Get pass them and just keep going even if it feels as if you are out of gas. No matter how bumpy that road gets try to end your day by realizing that you made it a little further toward your destination.

    We all beat ourselves up at times for venturing away from our weight loss plan but try to balance that with something positive. Don't just focus on your failures but give yourself credit for your successes no matter how small they are.

    People will offer you advice...some good...some not so good. What is important is that whatever you do that it fits you and your life. We can only tell you what worked for ourselves but that is no guarantee that it will work for you.

    Hopefully you have family and friends in the real world that will be there for support and that will help pick you up on those days where you hit one of those potholes and just can't seem to get out of it on your own. I don't do the friend option here on MFP (I make a terrible friend and I know it) but many people do and they love that extra support.

    Good luck and I wish you well.
