back on the wagon

literally visualize yourself afterwards feeling great about the fact that you did...:flowerforyou:

To be honest, the thing that keeps me motivated is the guilt factor. I hate the feeling that I get after indulging in some unhealthy habits or going over my calories. I love the feeling of going to bed with calories left over. I call my friend and tell her "yes, I have 300 calories left over."!! :drinker: We are so proud of eachother. The feeling I get in the morning is amazing. When I wake up, I feel skinnier even if the scale doesn't show it. Another thing is to realize how much a pound really is! It is such an amazing thing! Don't be so hard on yourself....also, I'm not sure what your drinking forum was about because I didn't see it but, realize that you can socialize and drink and all that and still not go over your calories. If I know that I am going out for the night....I save up my calories for my Bicardi Limon Diet 7's Treat yourself sometimes....

i posted a few days ago about all my partying and how it pushed me off the wagon.

i JUST got back on...officially. i think inactivity, aka lack of exercise and lazyness really contribute to my weight gain.

i just jogged 20 minutes, and i feel motivated enough to plan out my diet for tommorow, just to start me back up on the right track.

what do you guys do to motivate yourselves to exercise?

I find that if I "fall off the wagon" I start feeling like a giant sack of crap after a few days...ha ha!

I recently did the same thing as you...I went away for a weekend to see some friends...drank lots of beer, ate a lot of crap and got no exercise. By the time I got back home, I just felt like complete garbage.

Today, I hit the gym for the first time in 5 days and re-focused myself on eating properly and voila! I already feel better

you have great willpower! i was drinking about 3 pints a night with friends...and at night, even if i do have calories left over, i don't have room for that many. and it pushes me right over. but if i am active, i don't even feel like overindulging.
i love that morning feeling too. rubbing my tummy instead of my gut!

I have found that shots have a much lower calorie count, if that is what you are going for. An added bonus, for me, is the deliciousness of Jameson Irish Whiskey.
