Alright everyone.  If you have fallen off the wagon what did you do to get back in gear?

I know there are some extremes like me out there that are just out of control so tell me what you did to restart your loss and get back on the wagon.

Things are not horrible but I know I am not doing what I should and I keep setting goals of TODAY WILL BE THE DAY and I just ate a piece of pizza.  I just don't know what happened?  Did my Will power get removed back in December LOL.  It isn't a laughing matter I know but that is how I cope with things.

 

Talk to you soon!

One slice of pizza doesn't sound so bad. What were your other food choices today?
It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.

Why did I go through with this and now I am on the path of distroying it.  I have been on a plataue for almost 5 months now.  I mean seriously I need someone to move in with me and just kick my butt...I am just going to cry and get it over with before House comes on.

my kids are 14 months and almost 3 years and its all I can do some days to not go nuts.  My youngest fell on Saturday and got a closed head injury.  I took him to the dr today for a follow up and just left pissed off.  LONG story!  But they swear the baby is fine even though they didn't address any ANY of my concerns!

I didn't look at how far along you are in your weight loss, but for me...looking at old pics of myself always does the trick. There is no way I am going back there!! To me, one piece of pizza could be the loose stone that starts the avalanche. It's just not worth it! Keep pics on the fridge, in the pantry, wherever temptation may strike. If you're not far enough along for old pics to be an inspiration, get a pic of what you want to look like.  Just remember that WLS is a gift that not everyone has access to.  Don't waste it.

I am 100 lbs down and almost 10 months out.  I see it kinda in the pics but I still feel huge I don't feel like I have lost anything.  My clothes tell me otherwise but I don't feel it.  The only thing I notice is I can squat and not fall over and my tail bone kills me to the point of tears daily.  Other then that I just don't see it.  I wish I did I really do!

I still don't see what my friends and family see, but I have learned to look for those other indicators...like your clothes fitting differently.  You've come too far and been through too much to give up.  With that said, we all go through "slumps." Sometimes it's just a matter of kicking yourself in the rear.  Our you journaling your food choices.  It's very aggravating to have to write down pizza and other junk food.  Good luck!  You can finish your race!

  First of all stop being so hard on yourself.  We all go through phases of weight loss and commitment to our program.  You are aware of your issues, now that being said do not ignore what is going on.
  What has worked for me is joining Weigh****chers, I need the weekly accountability and the structure.  I need to track all my food and journal.  Constantly aware of what I eat and what I will eat next. 
  I hit a point when I was going through a divorce, lost my job, moved and then started a new relationship where I gained 40 pounds due to emotional eating.  I have gotten control and am making better choices.  I am eating well, working out and following program.  I have taken 13 of it off. 
  Look at why you are making the choices you are.  A couple of bad days is not a disaster, but if they go unchecked they can spin out of control.  Stay aware, keep your head in the game!
  You will be fine, go back to the basics...remember what made you do this, look at those old pictures...put one on the refrigerator...I know you can not see the loss yet, you are still early out...take a picture today hang them together and you will start to see it!
  Good Luck!
