I hear you; we are in the same boat. I am back after wrestling my will back again, the results -- not good.

So what is the answer? Let me share a story, a friend of mine told me that he couldn't stop smoking cigarettes for years until one day he asked for God's help; and then he told me once he did that he stop smoking and hasn't smoked for six months.

I agree, but sometimes I use exercise as an entitlement i.e., "I worked out today and earned 'X' calories", I may not really be hungry but "I don't want to lose on the deal"; or have you ever worked out so much you feel like you coud eat your own arm? Essentially, I agree with you totally.

Well the weekend's almost done and I stayed pretty true to my intention which is to stay within my limits; it is always difficult because on the weekends I tend to go crazy. How is your weekend going?

Well, I keep asking myself what will be different this time.

Yes, me too. I am looking for someone to help me stay on track. I did well with this and then I stopped and the exact opposite effect occurred, you know the undesirable gaining of weight. I'm trying something different this time reaching out asking for friends. 22 to 30 is exactly what I want to lose as well
