Finding it hard to get back on the wagon

Over the last 10 days or so I've been off and on program.

Yesterday I blew it again. UGH! Why is this so hard? I was doing so well.

I'm feeling a bit bloated although everything still fits..just not as well.

I ate 6.5 points this am for breakfast. I think I will just salad it for lunch but I know I will be looking for more food.

It is hard to stay on course week after week. It just is and it stinks

It's restricting and it gets boring and old so fast, doing it day in day out is just AAAAHHHHH!

You are not alone. I have no idea what will help you except to say just do it

Maybe think about going to meetings instead of online? I know that helps me so much knowing I have to weigh in. Plus it is motivational to hear of other success stories, ideas, etc. Good luck!

I don't have any great advice but just wanted you to know that you are not alone. I also find it so hard to stay on track. Just try your best and stick with it. I find that making sure I am tracking everything helps. Good luck!

Ugh - I'm sorry to hear that. I'm right there with you I had 2 weddings, rehearsal dinners, a baby shower & a week long vacation the past 3 weeks & I've been awful. Today's my 1st day back on & I'm already done w/my points...and I get A LOT so it's pretty pathetic. Good luck getting back on the wagon! It may be tough, but we can do it!

i am with you. I have been maintaining the same weight since April! . I have another 20lbs to lose but just cant get motivated. I am barely hanging on.

Re: Finding it hard to get back on the wagon

Any time I feel like I've messed up for the day and want to eat whatever I feel like I read this. It helps me alot. It also helps to think about how much weight you can lose if you stick with it. I would have never imagined 3 months ago that I'd be down almost 40 lbs right now.

If you indulge a bit, STOP and COUNT THE POINTS. It usually isn't as bad as you think. Just be accountable, get a grip, check reality, mark it down and MOVE ON!!! You really can eat anything you want, in reasonable quantities and make it work! You wouldn't fling yourself down a flight of steps if you slipped down one, right? You wouldn't break ALL your china if you accidentally broke one piece, right? You wouldn't continue driving off the road or into the wrong lane if you veered slightly off course (and hit those rumble strips) on a road would you??????? You wouldn't keep going in the WRONG direction if you KNEW you made a wrong turn on a long trip, right????? If you have a minor slip up, LEARN FROM IT, ACCOUNT FOR IT (count the points), make a PLAN so it won't happen again, and dust yourself off and KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!!!!!
