Hi everyone,

    You're not a failure! I've been there before myself. Now is the time to start reversing that. It's still mid may, you can do it! Log everything you eat & work on portion control. Add some cardio in & in no time you'll be fitting into those summer clothes. Just do not buy larger clothes! That's what I've always done & it doesn't help.

    Feel free to add me if you want & I wish you all the best :)

    Same thing happened to me. It sucks but you gotta stay on the bright side!! You'll be that much more motivated to get healthier so you can fit back into them.

    Also keeping my clothes that are 1-2 sizes smaller in the closet as motivation.

    My philosophy:
    * Take one day at a time
    * Look forward, and not look back
    * Let your MFP buddies be a source of encouragement
    * Seek out a little help from Him regularly

    summer clothes are the bane of my existence. every single year, i say, "this is the year i won't have to always wear long sleeves, bathing suit coverups, long skirts" ...... every single year, i look the same.... i wear bathing suit coverups, long sleeves, long skirts... UNTIL NOW :D you're not a failure, and neither am i. we're just not quite there yet..... but well on our way

    You aren't alone, that is why we are all here, chatting, logging, measuring!!! Hang in there, it only gets better if we succeed today

    Yep I always have the same feeling when I try to put on a pair of shorts or a nice dress and realise they don't come anywhere near doing up! That is one of the major reasons I started using this site too - just to make the clothes fit.

    likeschocolate, I love your advice! It is just want I needed to hear. One day at a time and keeping HIM in the mix. :-)
