I'm falling off the wagon

There is no wagon. There is only you.

And if you want to be healthy, be healthy.

You can do it. You just have to believe that.

Honestly though, there is nothing anybody can say or tell you that will put you back on the journey. It's up to you and you only. If you want to do this, you will. If you don't, you won't. It's that cut and dry.

Get back on the wagon!

I have fallen off the wagon, Been chased by the wagon, The wagon ran over me, Then i had to chase the wagon to get back on it.

Not having the most successful day or week is seriously not the end of the world. Working on the ALL or NOTHING thinking is super hard. Next meal YOU will do better. Cause you want to ... And I can tell you want to because you reached out.

Great job on the weight loss to date ... You have seen success and will continue to see it.

falling off the wagon is way better after drinking!

I was just like you, after two weeks of exercising and eating healthy i was ready to quit, i couldn't stay motivated. Something about this time was different, after all the countless hours i've spent on researching weight loss and spending a bunch of money i finally was fed up. I told myself this was it, this is my time. I knew that i was REALLY ready to lose weight. I have a pic of me how I looked before I gained all this unneccessary weight and I have a separate journal that i've pasted it to...and all i can do is think of how i would look a lot smaller and healthier, how my sex life would be different with my husband (all positions my fat butt can't get into), and most of all, THE SEXY CLOTHES!!! hehe....don't give up. The one thing i do that really does help is argue with my subconcious. for ex. you say outloud "I'm going to the gym" but in ur mind your saying "well maybe the next day" before that happens you stop it and change it to something positive like " i love working out" or "i love eating healthy" and just say it every day until u rewire your brain to think positively about u losing weight. GOOD LUCK!!!!

Sometimes I think it's useful to get your mind on something else -- your work, or maybe a hobby or some sort of project. By turning one's attention toward "the outside," if you see what I mean (not about eating, or dieting, or how you've been doing lately), sometimes you can kind of get back in the mindset where eating is what you do to be able to do other things, and do them better.

We think that eating and living in a healthy way is all about the belly and the sore muscles. But, really, I'm convinced that 98% of it is right between our ears.

No matter how many times you fall off, as long as you keep getting back on, you will be fine. That is life, and you will never have perfection in your diet and exercise plan.

It is what you do most of the time that has the greatest impact, not if you have a bad couple of days or even a bad week. When you throw in the towel and you let a bad day or a bad week become days and weeks, then that is when you are really sabotaging yourself and you need to maybe review/refine your goals.

Do you have very clearly written goals of WHY you want to lose weight and why you are unhappy at your current weight? You need to regularly remind yourself of the "why" and also how it would feel to be in optimum health and at your goal weight versus how you feel now in your current state.

You have done a really great job with your weight loss so far. Remind yourself that this is a lifestyle change, not a short-term diet that has to be strictly adhered to or else you "fail".

Stay the course. You can do it!!

Consider finishing your profile - Why I Want to Get in Shape and My Inspirations. Then when you need tough love, people can remind you why you're here. Ultimately, this is your journey and you have to find your motivation and self discipline, but you could read other profiles and Success Stories and maybe find points of inspiration.

She's right...get a visual on what you want to accomplish. Good luck!

There is nothing any of us can really say that will kick you back into gear. It has to come from within YOU.

That being said, please know that what you're feeling is very normal. All of us have highs and lows during this journey. We have days where we are gung ho about going to the gym and eating our full servings of veggies and we have days when the gym is the LAST PLACE we want to be and veggies? Pffft. I'd rather not.

Sometimes I let myself have some "off" days and just kind of do whatever and usually by the end of 3 or 4 days, I'm ready to shake off whatever started the downward spiral and get back to things.

You have to figure out what kicks you back into gear. It is seeing a picture of yourself when you heavier? Or how about a cute pair of jeans or shirt that are just thismuch too tight. Find what motivates YOU. We are all motivated by different things.

You don't have to exercise all week... just exercise today. And then just exercise the next day. And then...

I find it helps if I tell someone my exercise plan. Then I feel like I have to follow through or they might call me on it.

Two weeks, in the grand scheme of the rest of your life, is a drop in the bucket. You had a lapse, now it is time to get serious again. Forgive yourself, make a plan, move on!

I went through the same thing until recently. I just kind of got into a funk. You just need someone to give you that reality check. Do you want to gain that 15 lbs back? If you want it all back, then keep doing what you're doing. If not; I guess you'll have to crack down.


That's my best attempt at tough love...sorry I'm no good at it. You can do it though, hon.

Get back on the wagon!

Too funny! Sounds a lot like me and probably a lot of people too. Just keep getting back on and know you are in good company

Last week I was sick with a terrible cold, and the wagon crushed me. Overate for about 3 days. I thought my body needed it. It probably did. I ended up gaining the 2 lbs I had lost the week before and felt pretty bad about it. During those 3 days I didn't record all my food, and that's where I went wrong. I believe it's so important to record your food every day and have it available for all to see. That really makes me feel accountable! Tomorrow is a new day, a fresh start. Make it a good one!
