(((MEE))),

You aren't the first to fall off of the horse and you won't be the last. You can get back on track. I strongly suggest that you consider joining one of my friend's groups called Back on Track Together. Cathy is a wonderful, caring and supportive leader and her group numbers more than 2000 members. Many of the members in her group have gone through the things your are dealing with and can provide help and support to get you back to where you need and want to be. Here is the URL for her group: http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/backontracktogether/

I also wanted to share with you that I lost my own focus and though I had gotten down lower than my own goal, I experienced a regain of about 20 lbs when scared the pants off of me. I wasn't sure what to do. I decided to get back to basics, so I started logging everything I was eating or drinking. I 'knew' that I had been playing with fire before, but when I saw it in black and white, it helped me see what I was doing 'to myself.' I decided to start following the rules I'd been given and lead with lean protein. I still have simple carbs, but I have to 'take care of business' first. This really helped me because I knew that I couldn't/wouldn't stick to a 'diet' where I wasn't 'allowed' to have this or that. But if I could take care of business and still have my cake, I could and would do that. I was able to get back on track. I lost the excess weight and have been able to keep it off. I don't know that this would work for everyone, but has worked for me. 

I wish you all the best and hope that you will come back and let us know how you are doing and if there is anything that we can do to help you.

Warmly,

Barbara

You'll get a lot of good advice on getting back on the path. I just want to say don't beat yourself up and call yourself names..it doesn't help and will keep you stuck.
