I have fallen AGAIN and I can't get up

Remember all the good you have done and will overcome!!! The new you is stronger, better, wiser than that person yesterday. Therefore you know that person isn't an option!!! Keep up the good work!

Just give it to God again lms32164. You gave it to him to start this process so why take it back from him thinking you can do it on your own. Do what you did in the beginning to achieve such great success so far. I know what its like to mess up but we all have to try not to stay down for too long. Just remember all those lovely reasons why you started this process. Also don't let anything be "sneak eating". Bring everything in the open and eat in front of your family...share all those nice treat with them. Don't make anything taboo because that's when we feel the need to hide and do things that we think we shouldn't be doing.

of course you can get up, don't be ridiculous! you're at your goal weight according to your ticker; i've found that maintaining takes a different mindset. focus on your weekly net calories instead of each day and just make sure you're even for the week. that way if you go over one day, you know you need to be under the next day or two so you stay even for the week. the mobile app gives you your weekly net calories in the 'progress-weekly' tab. i think the reports area on the main website does it too if you're using a pc, it doesn't work for my ipad though...

Lynne,
This feeling is no stranger to any of us on this journey, we all experience it from time to time,
that's what is so wonderful about a site such as this and with wonderful people surrounding
that are more than happy to support and motivate you!

You must always remember all of the wonderful progress that you've made and what you've had
to do to make that happen, there is only one way, and it's healthy eating and exercise, that doesn't
mean that we can't allow ourselves little induldgences though, in fact it's healthy to do so, i like to
take a day out of the week and make it my "free" eating day, by doing this I don't get the sense that
I am missing out on anything and it gives me something to look forward to and work towards. I do
stay pretty reasonable though, I don't just gorge myself with tons of sweets, and I never eat fast food,
other than the lowfat chili from wendy's and a baked potatoe with only reduced fat sour cream!

You may be getting bored with your routines, try added or mixing up your exercise, it can help alot,
if we become bored with food or exercise, it can spell doom, we must be mindful of what is working
and what is not. If it isn't then change it. Doing these things is much easier than starting from scratch,
you need to be positive everday, tell yourself, I am going to succeed this time, say it as often as needed,
it does work. I will be praying for God to give you the strength and endurance to make it through to your
goal Lynne, hang in there, this feeling too shall pass!

Your friend, Rita
