depressed

i fear i have become one of those people who decide every night that i'm gonig to start a new diet tomorrow. i just can't seem to get things in control and i'm very dissapointed in myself.

I'm sorry you're feeling so depressed, Andy.  Dieting is not easy.  Try to keep that in your head that what you're doing is not an easy, breezy task.  (((((BIG HUG)))))

I can sure empathize with that feeling.  I know what I'm supposed to do and I've done it before and just when ya' think, "Yeah, I can do this.  I can beat bad habits," the old bad habits come back with force.  i hope you can get it back together before you do or rather undo so much hard work, and me too. (((((Andy)))))

I know how you feel.  I'm still doing pretty good on my eating habits, but those couple of days mom was in the hospital put my in a slump with my exercise.  I keeep telling myself to get back out there but everyday, I come up with a new excuse.  So now I'm lucky if I get in two or three days a week.  You'll get it.....look how far you have came thus far!

yeah i definitely was knocked off track by the car accident i had - not being able to workout as much or as intensely as i wanted to for about a week and having my dad in town after the accident for a few days and eating out every meal with him really set me back. and i just haven't quite got back.  still working out everyday and w/ trainer twice a week. it just never seems like its enough. i was supposed to return to Duke for a week to help me get back on track but i still don't have a car and cannot get down there :( its funny how the random unpredictable events of our lives can really throw off a routine.

I've certainly been there, Chiclet! I wonder if you saw my post about you dropping out once in a while, kind of your MO. I've done it too.  One especially low night, I actually deleted my profile and thought it was so futile. At the very least, unproductive. Let me close this paragraph by saying..you are so important 'round here.  How much you make a difference may not be easily visible sometimes. If you're like me, you feel you cannot even keep your own head above water, how doyou....can you... support others. This minute, I have been more "in-between", frustrated that I cannot seem to eat as low as I need to go to lose. Scared sometimes.  Overwhelmed that I cannot DOTHIS BULL**** ONE MORE MINUTE. Most times of most days, I'm trying to not be so hard on myself.  You need to be that way more often, too. We are trying as hard as we are capable of for today. Andy, your input makes a differnece, all of it, even this depression declaration!

you wrote something about me dropping out? i didn't see it. i actually was in california for the past week in san fran, which was really nice. i did 30 mins on the treadmill each day and we walked TONS - like averaging 20K steps a day (one day it was actually 26K!) i don't think i ate badly either. of course the first thing i did when i got home was weigh myself (at night, after a full day of flying) and of course i weighed a lot and got pissed off and ate all night. i totally screw with my own head. its sick in a way.

See the post on page 2 titled,  "KRIZ ???? Don't MAKE me come to NC to look for you."

OMG! i just saw the message you posted about me. no honestly, i definitely don't drop out when things are bad - in fact, i tend to talk too much about the bad stuff!  i didn't read that post because it was addressed to chris - otherwise i would have responded right away. i can't usually read everything posted here or otherwise i'd never get anything done!

I fergot that you went on vaca.  You did say so.  I completely spaced.  Okay, yer not guilty.  THIS time.  LOL.
