    I am going through the same thing since I think that after hitting the middle part of weight loss it's harder to find motivation. But it's possible to find motivation and to keep going.

    Amen to that... I was much better at my eating for the first 6 months.....now I don't do as well. THat is why I try the one good day plan. I can always be good for one day.

    What is the point of putting in 3 or 4 awesome days of being at or under your calorie goal, and then blowing it on a tub of ice cream or cheesecake or...some other ridiculously high calorie food? Ya know, if I had been really good with my food since June when I started, I would probably have an extra 10 pounds off by now...maybe more. I don't want to waste a potential 10 pounds every few months...my goal is to look and feel so much better by time summer rolls around again, and I don't want to get there knowing I could have been 20 or 30 pounds lighter just because I make ridiculous choices every few days. I don't even REALLY enjoy half of the stuff I'm wasting all of these calories on- that's the sad part, but I can't seem to stop doing it, and I keep whining about it...on here, to myself...to my daughter (who is no help, because teenagers love to eat...so she's always in my ear, "buy the cake...buy the cookies...just for tonight...it won't hurt...you've been good all week..." She's like the devil sitting on my shoulder, and the little angel on the other side doesn't stand a chance. Egads! I'm weak.

    I posted a note on my fridge in big letters: Good Choices = No Regrets. That's a really good motto, and I'm going to keep repeating it to myself (and my daughter) until it's burned into our brains.

    go to the recipe section of the forum and check out my recipe for sludge or "sludgecream" and this way the next time you have a sweet tooth you can make some sludge and it will go all the way to knocking out the cravings without cheating yourself. But rather giving your body what it needs. Just think of the word "transformations" theresa healthy transformation of any food you enjoy. Use some creativity and put in some effort and not only will you enjoy making the food, but eating it will be as well on every level. Nothing tastes better then food that feels like it should be bad, but is 100% nutritious. Good luck.:)
