Starting over again. I feel like I am always starting over. I think I am not going to allow myself cheat days anymore because they turn into cheat weeks =) Maybe one day I'll learn!

    If it makes you feel any better, I can SSSOOOO relate! It's hard to do this but know that you are not alone. YOU CAN DO IT! :drinker:
  • Ugh indeed! I know just what you mean...
  • Believe me, I am right there with you! I started again over the weekend for the very same reason! GOOD LUCK!

    i agree, who hasnt started over, usually on Mondays lol. Now I try to work in the foods I like, like ice cream. Like skinny cows or for chocolate, I have a mini cliff bar. And for movie time, air popped popcorn. Im determined to look good for January.
  • I'm with ya on that! Those little cheats are evil!!! They always come back to haunt me and I wonder when I'll learn that I just need to say NO!! I carry mints and gum with me to help now. Minty fresh mouth = less desire for junk sometimes. :) Best wishes to you and good for you for getting back on board.
  • Rather than thinking of it as starting over, think of it as a fresh start, a clean slate. Every morning you have the opportunity to start again and make the day great even if the one before it is not so great! Best of luck!

    I think I am going to start logging my food diary the night before while I am packing my lunch. Then it is finished and I already know what I am eating for the day, how many calories I am going to consume, and maybe this will help me stay on track. I usually log everything after I eat, and sometimes I am in complete suprise by how many calories I take in!! They add up so fast!!
  • That really helped me to log the day before. I found myself looking forward to what was on my list! Try it, it made a huge difference for me. :flowerforyou:
