Topic: Losing again.

I have not updated in a while because I was ashamed of myself. I was not sticking to my diet and stopped losing weight at about my year aniversary. I put back on 12 lbs from my low of 264.8. I got back up to 276. Well I am back and I have been on a diet again. In the past five days I have lost 3 lbs back off. I know its not much but its a start. My question is how to keep motivated. I still have about 80 lbs to lose. I have been seeing a counsler for about 4 months and she is great and supportive, but at home at night I have to face my own demons. We keep unhealthy foods in the house because everyone else eats them and they are very tempting. I am fighting a complete lack of self discipline. My surgeon says my surgery is a success but my family doctor wants me to lose down to 230 before I have a tummy tuck. I started at 408.8 lbs. I am a vegitarian and I take my vitamins and drink my protein. I could use some encouragement. Feel free to e-mail or respond here. My surgery date was April 26, 2004. Thanks in advance for your support, I read this board all the time.
