losing the fight

You know I understand that Fly! I am eater/alcoholic as well. But you had the diligence to loose that 55LBS and YOU CAN loose what you have gained. You have the power. I wonder if you could count your calories to maintain your current weight?

You are starting school soon right? You will be doing water aerobics and that should help jump start!

Could your start doing the P90X workouts again? Or you could download the THIRTY DAY SHRED.... lots of people use it on MFP.

I love you and you need to know how amazing you look Beautiful, slender and you are HEALTHY I am so proud of your weight loss accomplishments and your ability to say I AM DOING THIS FOR ME Same with the school! THRIVE on the power YOU have over yourself! GRAB THE REIGNS AND TAKE CONTROL! You know you can call or text me anytime

I lost the fight.

I joined here in July 2010 and lost some weight and then lost the willpower to carry on. I now weigh far heavier than what I did when I joined. I love food, I feel like I am addicted to it and right now I can't see a way of ever getting that willpower back.

What I'm trying to say is please, please carry on and try to get that willpower back before it gets too late, like how it feels like to me.

Well done on losing 55lbs so far. You have done great and your hard work has really paid off!

You worked too dang hard to give up now!!! Don't give up. Don't ever give up. Every little bit counts. Take on as much as you can muster and keep adding a little more from there. Don't pressure yourself to go full throttle - if putting on your headphones and going for a walk is all you can stand to do right now, then go for it. Then tomorrow do a little more. You'll get it back!

I feel your pain! Here are my thoughts:
-Do ONE small thing, not ALL the big things. Give yourself ONE small goal, and be really proud of yourself when you complete it.
-Be super, super kind to yourself. Say nice things to yourself in your mind, and believe them with your heart.
-Turn to water and vegetables. Eat slowly and mindfully. Be glad for the chance to eat good food and drink good water.
-Look at old pictures of yourself from before you lost weight. Remember why you started this in the first place.
-Look at pictures of yourself at the present moment. Give yourself 3 reasons why you cannot give up on yourself RIGHT NOW.

What if instead of a fight, you thought of this as a dance? Maybe you needed to bow out for a bit and just watch other people dance. Maybe you are ready to dance again, but you want to dance in a different way. How do you want to move? How do you want to feel? Dance it out.

Fly, You've got a good friend here!! Call her!

Don't beat yourself up, it's not worth it and it certainly won't make you feel better. Don't focus on what you can't/shouldn't eat, think about what you WANT to eat and find a healthier way to make it! That has helped me the MOST! Spend some time checking out recipes, I do that when I lose my motivation. Here's a great site if you don't already know about it

I love this!

I know what you are going through. At 340+ pounds I could barely bend over to pick something up much less exercise.
I've learned a lot over the past 24 months. I've lost 155 pounds in my journey.
I've learned it is not hard to lose weight. You don't have to count calories. You don't have to weigh food, or log your meals.
You don't have to exercise to lose weight.
Once you start eating the right food and avoid the bad, the weight will fall off. As you lose weight you will feel better, your energy level will increase, then you will want to exercise to burn off all that energy.
I've put my story down in an online blog.
I now live a high fat low carb lifestyle. I eat all the good food I want, never worrying about over eating or gaining the weight back.
Never being hungry even if I miss a meal. No cravings, and saving lots of money eating right. If I can do it so can you.

I would be glad to help in any way I can. Read my blog.

thank you everyone for your sopport.. today i did my first workout in months but i ended up eating a bunch of crap so the work out was for nothing. but i guess thats a start

No, the workout wasn't for nothing. You got yourself moving and you got your heartrate up and your lungs breathing. That's a good step. Don't beat up on yourself. You did a good thing and you should be proud of that....eating a bunch of crap doesn't negate all the positive. Just remember tomorrow is another day and you can wake up and say it's going to be a good day or let the one negative thing you did today ruin your momentum for weeks and you'll just put on more weight (that is my tendency that I'm trying to break). Be proud of what you accomplished today and dwell on that instead of the negative and everyday will get better.:happy:
