Tell me that I'm not alone

What is your weakest spot during your weight loss journey? Is it exercise, a certain food, etc.... Mine is exercise. Share your weak spot so I won't feel so alone on this topic.

Oh, you are NOT alone.... Excercise has been completely absent on this trip. Yes, I know better. I do everything else pretty much by the book except I have to really watch myself in the evenings as I start grazing... Thank you for this post. I find going to the board of groups that are a year further than us inspiring. It makes me understand many demons will return and right now, it's imperative to change behaviors... Why are we so hard on ourselves? I've never been perfect--how can I expect that of myself now? I do a pretty good job, my labs are good, my weight loss is good, I feel good...but the old messages still go through my head--"you will fail at this because you aren't doing _______ (fill in the blank)" I think you just inspired me to start excercising! Might as well conquer one more demon with a walk, huh? Be good to yourself! Beth -118

grazing at night...i am sooo bad about it... argh! -KT

Sweetie, you are not alone. Exercise has been definitely lacking for me... I hate it. I'm on my feet all night... and I measured with my trusty pedometer (just in case I got the urge to get up)... but I walk on avg of 3-5 miles a night at work. Granted those many steps are in short spurts but its all night long. One night I did 7 miles. So needless to say, I don't feel like getting into fancy walking duds and hitting the pavement with a big ol grin on my face and hummin' "Walking on sunshine" NOT!!! Next is chocolate... there are days that I could kill small children for a bite... thank goodness I can't do much but when I want it I WANT IT NOW!!! (and usually in the form of a brownie!!!) Evenings off... I want to graze... I try to graze on high protien stuff but there are times that I do keep going back for the bad stuff. Some days I feel like a total failure and want to kick myself in the butt but I have spent 40 + years doing that and I refuse to do that anymore. So everyday is a new day and I just start all over every day... wanda

Exercise is still my weak point. I'm lucky to get in 1 day of exercise a week. I have never been one to exercise. I think I need to find an activity I enjoy so, it doesn't seem like such a routine thing. Teri

I like to eat something sweet after dinner. I have always liked to do this.I also do like to exercise go figure. This was a good post Hugs Dolores

My weakest spot is probably nibbling. On the days that I go too high on my calories , it is always due to popping in a bite of this or a bit of that between meals or here and there.

My weakest point is seeing all of the hot young studs in the gym as I exercise and not really being able to do anything about it yet because I am sagging all over because of extreme weight loss. My advise to you is to get to loving going to the gym and walking daily and it will not be a drag you will actually look forward to it.

My weakest spot is not drinking enough water. I hate water, so I drink Fruit 2-O, but I still don't get enough in each day. Lynn J., lap RNY 9/29/04 -111 lbs
