Just don't give an #@$.............

I feel the same way.......no motivation what so ever!!

My food is ok.....I just can't seem to make myself get to the damn gym!! And no, working out at home is not an option. Small livingroom, too many people around.....etc etc

I am always so gung ho during the day at work, but then just loose it all once I am home!! I will be so dissapointed this summer if I don't just get some motiviation and soon!!

Feel free to add me

You can but you must get a goal.do it for yourself.Just do it.

That was my December.

It took gaining ten pounds back, not fitting into my clothes, and a couple of concerned check-ins from friends here to bring me "back from the dark side" - which metaphor works a whole lot better for me than "on the wagon."

Also, have you ever seen Apocalypse Now? There's a scene where the main character has been warned to "stay on the boat. Never get off the boat." Then someone gets off the boat to go tend to certain bodily functions and gets mauled by a freaking tiger. A TIGER. At least that's how I remember it. So for me, getting back on the boat and out of the jungle of chaos has been a blessing over the last couple of days. It just feels safer, and less out of control. I'm a creature of habit, and a compulsive eater to boot, so that's made a huge difference.

If you're here, there's some part of you that wants and needs it. Just hang out for a while, maybe make some more friends. I'll bet you anything you'll pick up some of their motivational vibe, and that might be enough to get you out of the jungle. Best of luck. Friend me if you like.

It honestly sounds like what you're going through is mild depression. I'm not talking about the debilitating depression everyone seems to thing is the only kind that actually exists. I'm talking about the "I'm tired, I don't want to move today, I don't care about myself" kind where you still get up, go to work, eat your meals (and all the stuff in between), and interact with others, but you don't enjoy it. I understand completely. Noone with a heart will judge you for it, but unfortunately there are a lot of heartless people out there. Do you need someone to kick your butt, or do you need to just work through things at your own pace? Neither is wrong, it's a personal decision. But, do try to figure out what you need to get yourself out of it. If you stay in a mildly depressed state for too long it can tailspin into something worse before you realize you are heading down a bad path (again, I understand).

I havent' gained much of my weight back (not that I lost that much to begin with, but right now I'm finding it hard to have the motivation to do anything. Even clean the house. EVEN get out of my pajamas. That's where my tailspin is heading. I started blogging about my issues (mine were already pretty public anyway, I'm not suggesting that would work for you).

If you want to read my blog, go to http://www.amnesiacsjourney.blogspot.com/ and read about someone elses problems. That helps for some people too.

Overall, I'm sorry for what you are going through. In the end there isn't anyone that can help you unless you're willing to help yourself. Wish that didn't come out so preachy, but ..... well .... it just does.

What you first have to realize that this is not a temporary diet- to goal, it is a lifestyle change. I miss a lot of foods, but I do like the feeling of healthy better. Its a choice that you make for yourself. I know its hard, I battle it every day. I plan to have this battle for a long time to come. Make exercise part of your weekly routine as you would scheduling showers, brushing your teeth... eventually it does become automatic.

Suck it up, buttercup!

Seriously tho, I went thru the same thing, pretty much all of 2011 -- knew exactly what I needed to do, and how to do it yet couldn't make myself care enough to get off my butt and workout, or stop myself from eating the crap food I know I don't need. Took all of December to pump myself up for January. I knew I'd be starting over, back to square one with nobody to help me but me. You'll find your motivation again, it's there somewhere. And, you know where to find me if you are being real about the punching you part.

Same here. I'm just so frustrated with it all. I feel like I do so well during the day at work, but once I get home, I would much rather sit on the couch and browse Netflix with the hubby and go to bed early, than actually get up and do something. I say things like "I'm going to stop drinking soda" "eating junk/fast food" "drinking alcohol" "sitting on my a&&" but I never really follow through. We have a gorgeous workout facility in the building at my new-ish job (starting after Thanksgiving), but have I used it yet? Nope. Because it's on the fourth floor and boohoo, I'd have to walk the stairs.

I originally lost almost 30# on Weight Watchers but gained it all back and then some due to a back injury this summer. Now, I just can't get going to lose it again. I feel like I might never lose it.

I hate whining about myself so I never say any of this stuff, and I'm tempted to erase it all rather than posting it, but I feel like if I never say it, I'll never move past it.

i am just emerging from wheat I am calling "my 5 week funk".....i gained, was lazy and just generally didn't care. but then it came to the point where i thouight--- no, i 100% do want to get healthy, so the only option is to keep pushing. no matter how many times i fall down, i WILL get back up and keep going, because it's the ontly option....there is no alternative.

you have to find that for yourself though....so i hope something triggers for you good luck.

I've lost weight before and yeah, eventually I get to a point where I think 'life is too short to constantly deny myself all these pleasurable things.'

exercising helps. once i have done my daily exercise, i don't want to waste that effort by eating too many calories. it also increases the amount of calories i can have to a more liveable level, so i can enjoy the food i'm eating more and not feel like i'm eating diet cardboard all day long.

Slack *kitten*. Get moving.
