in Motivation and Support
Hi everyone. I am not new to the dieters world, and like many of you I am struggling currently.
I used to be very fit and ate right no issue, but recently I've fallen into a binge cycle with food obsession, and it has gotten out of control.
I went to the gym 5-6 days a week and ate very well for about 3 months, saw progress, not as much as I would have liked, but progress! I was happy with how things were going but some switch flipped and I'm not sure where it all went wrong.
I am on day 9 of not going to the gym, and I have been binging every day on sweets and horrible foods like entire medium pizzas in one sitting!
I know I can get back on track, but I have gained, and I kid you not, 20 pounds over these 9 days.
I would like to lose 30-40 lbs over the next 6 months or so and I know that that is doable, but I lack motivation sometimes and I really would like some friends to keep in contact with to stay motivated.
I am looking to do this healthily with weight lifting and eating what I want but in a calorie deficite ( lots of veggies of course, but not outright banning chocolate ). I hope I'm not alone out here and someone else is having similar issues!

    I am also a binge eater and my own sabotager. Once I see progress, I blow it. I've started back at the gym and I also had my resting metabolic rate tested so I know if my metabolism is working correctly and how many calories I need to eat to lose weight. It was an eye opener. I want to run a half marathon in October but I'm chicken when it comes to running. I can't even bring myself to run on the treadmill at the gym because I'm afraid of being stared at. I know it's stupid but my mind can play horrible tricks on me. I'm really want to meet this goal and I'm determined to get there. I need encouragement and I'm also willing to give encouragement to others when you need it. Please add me.

    Please can I join too as my motivation packed her bags and went on an extended holiday. I eat from boredom or stress. My hubby treats me but it's always a BOX of cakes or large bags of chocolate. I have asked him to stop but he thinks I deserve it, so what do I do.....eat the sodding lot!!! Motivation has moved out long term too. Please help xxx

    If a team would help you out, please consider the Fat2Fit Challenge. It is an ongoing group. You get assigned to a team, and everyone supports each other through the ups, downs, and in-betweens. This group has been running since 2016 and many people stick with it even once they hit maintenance. The support, energy, and fun challenges are great. Having to check in with a group all trying for the same thing helps enormously.

    If you'd like to give it a try, come over to the registration page for March 2020. There is a good description there of how it works, and you can check out some of the team chat threads, etc. If you like what you see, just post a message in the registration thread and I'll assign you to a team. You'll be good to go!
