Having a hard time

I have been having a very hard time sticking to a healthy eating and excerisie plan.  I lost 107 pounds, 110 being my lowest weight.  I weighed 127 this morning.  I just got back from a 2 week trip to Europe, and can't seem to get back on track.  I start out ok, then hunger and cravings kick in.  I have had some significant binges.  I'm also slacking on excersise.  I even blew off my trainer twice, and I never do that.  I pay wether I show u*****t, unless I cancel in advance.  Anway, guess I'm just looking for a swift but caring kick in the ass!  Thanks for listening!

I don't know anything about your height or body type but I wonder if you are having the problem I had.

I found that my body just didn't like being 140 lbs. You say you were 110, which, unless you are tiny, is quite a low weight. I had to really fight to stay in the low 140s. But then I relaxed, went up about 10lbs an my body seems to like being where I am now.

I am still careful about food choices most of the time but in a much more relaxed and easy to maintain manner. I just couldn't cope with the deprivation needed to keep my weight lower.

Thanks for the thoughts.  I am pretty tiny- 4'11''.  My original goal was 120, then as I was loosing I decided on 110.  I gained 5 and decided that was ok-115 would be my weight.  I hate to keep uping it just because I'm having trouble doing what I know I need to do.  I hit the gym tomorrow for sure!  I did put the scale away- going to weigh in once a week and write it down, just like I did when I was loosing.

You've done great!  And I have the same problem when I've vacationed or have gone off track for an event.  I don't think it's bad to enjoy the pleasure of eating a bit differently during vacation, but I find everytime I return, I have a hard time getting back on track.  For me, I've learned to just return to my pre-op diet of NO carbs and all protein.  The protein, I eat, keeps me satiated and over a few days my cravings are gone.  It helps me lose weight pretty fast in those first few days and it sets my mind back to the beginning and why I got the Lapband in the first place.
Good Luck to you!
