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:

    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:
