Old Habits Die HARD!

Hi!  I'm Chris... I have not looked at this site for over a year!  And a horrible year it has been.   I have gone back to a lot of my old habits and I gained over 40 lbs back!  I am soooo scared and disappointed!  I think you tend to think this is the cure all and the weight wont' come back.  Well, munch all day and eat wrong it WILL!  I need to get a grip on my life and not let this set back take over.  I am still addicted to food, I am not able to control myself in all cir****tances without conscienously working through it.  I think I need to get back to talking to people that know where I have been and what I have been doing.  Anyone that has backslid and overcome, PLEASE give me some encouragement!  I appreciate it!

Hi Chris!   I am in the same boat...40 lb gain and it is hard to get back to the rules.  Your post is a perfect reflection of me too.  Bad habits creeped back in.  It's hard to break the "psych"  in our heads to keep munching.  All we can do is try.  I know that lack of exercise is a big one for me, so that's what I need to get back to.   Just wanted to let you know you are not alone!

Hugs, Theresa

Hey Theresa,  It is unfortunately good to know that others have been in my boat.  I think it just gets easy to get over confident when we have lost so much so easily.  We forget we actually had to work at it from the beginning.  I hope by connecting with this site agian I can get the motivation to get back on track and toward my goal again!  Together we shall conquer! Good luck to you and I plan to work out 2 times this week.   chris
