    I did EXACTLY the same thing... Then have lost 4 of the 5lbs over this week just by getting back on it. After just a few days I feel heaps better and motivated all over again. YOU CAN DO IT!! x

    I think we all go through that. Myself included. The important thing is to try not to focus on what you regained but instead focus on you goal, where you would like to be. Use that frustration to get back on track. I know you can do it you just have to believe that you can do it and YOU WILL.

    Go Sevfam Go!!! :bigsmile:

    I am going thru the same thing, I was doing great and keeping up with my exercise and diet then I had a relative pass away and completely got off track. I've gained some weight back, but I've gotten back on track and staying positive. You can do it :D We all get off track once in a while, the important thing is that you keep trying :)

    I understand what you're going through. I went to a nutritionist several weeks ago. I'm dreading going back to her because I haven't lost as much weight as I wanted to. I'm trying to be kind to myself, but I'm embarrassed. I work crazy, hectic hours - my breakfast and lunch are usually pretty healthy, but dinner - forget it. Not to mention the fact that I eat breakfast around 8AM, lunch at 3PM, and then dinner around 9PM. Typically, I don't want breakfast. But dinner is mindless eating in front of the television because after working a 12-14 hour day, all I want to do is veg. It has to get better at some point. It's a constant battle - I thought I was ready, but right now, I feel as though I really wasn't ready. :indifferent:

    Get back on that dang Unicorn and keep going, for crying out loud, forward motion is the only way to reach your goals.

    We all have our days or weeks where we feel we just can't do it anymore. take pride in the fact that you have lost the weight before and can therefore so it again, that and you have all of us here on MFP to help you get through.
