im not quite sure what to do. every week if not twice a week, I write a hopeless post about how I’m off track and unmotivated. I have a couple of good food days and exercise days, but nothing’s really there to keep me in the game… I have 4 pairs of size 12 pants I bought 2 months ago, like $60 worth of stuff, and that’s not even motivating me to be on track. i need another magical ah-ha moment, but I just dont know when it will come. I read all your blogs, especially like tiny2b who has made such an incredible transformation and become a runner, but I just can seem to do it.. I wish I had the willpower, motivation, stamina, self control, but I just dont and that kills me. and im bummed about it. but I just dont know what to do or how to do it. I really dont want to go to weight watchers, but I dont know what to do to get myself back where I should be, where I was last year and this summer, when i was doing so well. i’m so sad at that myself that I have given up so readily and so willing to go back to my old, bad ways. i hope i dont gain back all the weight i lost. what a waste that would be…

I feel ya, I have felt like I’m waiting for the “click” to come again for a long time now. I guess I’m starting to believe more in the “just do it” approach - hoping the click will come later. But I know how it feels like such a battle.
I had started to read the book “the four day win” and what I liked about it was the idea of just concentrating on doing something for 4 days. I didnt get very far w the book but that’s kind of the approach I’m on right now — just trying for a single meal, or day, or string of a few days. I want eventually to feel it’s a lifestyle, a lifelong committment, and natural, but for now it’s a huge victory to make a few good choices in a row.
Hang in there.
