I’m not doing what I need to get done to get me through Christmas, also with my birthday being on Sunday my husband has already asked what kind of cake I want. If I say let’s not have cake he says the kids wouldn’t be happy, then I eat 1/2 the cake. I think I’ll need my mouth wired shut.

@mrsjas2000 I haven't been good most of this week. I've decided that I control what I eat, and nothing else so I can regain and remain in control.The moral of the story is there will always be temptation and we can control what we choose to eat,, it's just cake, and there will always be more later. That's how I try to look at it. Food doesn't control us, we control food. And there will always be more later.

So, I'm struggling. BAD.I'm not sure what all has happened, but I'm back up to 164lbs and my want to and care is shot.
I'm just so tired mentally and emotionally. I KNOW I'll feel better if I work out, but I just take a bath and go to bed.
I'll take anyone's advice; I'm so pissed my jeans are super tight, I can't fit into my interview dresses and I feel BLAH.
I know I haven't been on here for over 10 days. I'm avoiding completely. I don't know wth is going on in my head.

@LadyRN76 I was 134 last Saturday and by Thursday I was at 141, stress and life get to us, but it's important also to still realize that we have goals and we can still achieve them even if we're tired and mentally drained at the end of the day. Instead of eating an entire pizza at the end of the day, a bath and bed isn't a terrible idea. One of the things I have had to tell myself on more than once is that at the end of the day, even if you don't exercise or feel like that, you can still control what you put in your mouth, food isn't going to fill those voids. And at the end of the day when your jeans are tight, you feel even worse and it winds up a viscous cycle and you find yourself at 241 lbs before you say enough is enough (241 was my tipping point at 4'10").

My best advice is to slow it down. Plan, and revisit the plan often. I plan the day before and I look at the plan in the morning, journal about my feelings throughout the day and how I'm staying on plan. Some days it's really hard to stick to the plan. I eat one thing I didn't plan and then in my head my whole day is ruined, and I need to look at it differently, one choice that's off plan isn't the end of it. And when I veer off course, I tend to find myself days later still off course, and it's near impossible for me to get back on track because I just don't want to. Momentum is both a blessing and a curse. My advice is to shift that momentum back to your advantage. Take it ONE meal, one good decision at a time. And when you make one good choice, look to the next and make that one. Eventually you will be back on track and feeling better about everything.
