Can Not Get On Track, Need Help!!!!

I cannot get back on track w/ this weight loss. I've said to my over and over again I claim my life and I will not let things get in my way any more. The reason why is because God is good to me all the time and he's bring me a long way to keep on going. I feel sometime I do not believe in myself like I suppose to, because at the end of the day it's all about me. I've tried to deal w/ separation and dating and some thing are getting better and dealing w/ my 8 yr old son attitude problem. Let me get to the point. I do good all day at work, then it like when I get home I want to graze on all the bad foods and I don't fell like working out know more. I need to loss 35 more pounds to get to my goal of 175 pounds. I have gained 3 pounds back in a week and that could have came from drinking so much on the weekends and drinking wine every night before I go to bed. I know I need to believe in my self again like it was the first time 13 months ago when I was ready to take control of my new life and be a good loser on the healthy side of life. I just need encouragement from others and set down and take a look at my life and say you can do this. If anyone read this post please responds w/ ideas and plans I can try to use to get back on track. Thanks Charmaine

I didnt start doing bad until I reached goal. Now I drink beer like a fish 2 times a week. I do my excercise 4 times maybe 5 times a week. I work out for 1.5 hrs a day. I do graze and do make bad food choices. I am now trying t0 get out of that. I hate myself at times because I can eat those things. I take my vitiams everyday. If you can start walking that would do you good. If you can stop drinking evernight that would be good. Once a week is plenty. I drink Miller light. The wine seems so fatting. I to have gone threw separation and he back and things are still not the same. Look at yourself before your surgery. You need to take control. Get heathy foods in the house. When your hungry eat a yogart or a banana. Go to fitday .com and do a log on your daily food intake. We fought to hard for this surgery to eat our way out of it. Take Conrol now. Stop It Jugs Barb

The alcohol might be a problem. It has so many "useless" calories. No nutritional value at all. You need to start keeping track of your food (I use fitday.com). Start exercising again and that will make you feel better. Start out just by walking. Get rid of all the junk in your house and replace it with healthy choices. When I find that I want something salty I cook Turkey Pepperoni in the microwave and it satisfies the salt and crunch that I need. You can do it just look how far you have come. Take care MJ

I agree.. stop the drinking.... once a week ok...but cut way back. Can you get counceling? Do you go to a church? maybe you can talk to the pastor, or get in a small group that can help. Maybe for your son too. I know my group is a wonderful support. Do you have a dog? They give such unconditional love.... a great stress reliever too... and they can walk with you! I have a chi-a- poo and he keeps up with my walk just fine and is great company. I take him everywhere. Include your son in your walks. Ask him to "help" you. It will give him a responsibility and maybe make him feel important. LIft weights! Think how good you will look and feel... make your new life.... it will be good. Feel good about who you are before you try the dating thing... less stress. When you are happy with you the right person will be happy too. Good luck Blessings PAm
