I feel like crap.
I can't believe it. I've regained almost all of the weight I'd originally lost.
I'M BACK IN THE 240'S. I'm at 240 lbs even, and I can feel my mood dropping like a stone. I gained back all 15 lbs that I'd lost.
I let myself go so very badly. Just got a new job, haven't been able to get online much, not sleeping due to bad schedules with me and Hubby....and none of those are very good excuses. I feel so stupid, just letting myself go like that.
I'm essentially back where I started and I feel horrible about it.
I'm crossing my fingers that time of day/month of weighing has something to do with it....evening, fully clothed, about to start period.
I feel horrible right now

Amanda, start right back on it now. Don't wait until Monday or Friday or any other day start right now. This moment is the first day of the rest of your healthy new lifestyle. You may not always do it perfect. None of us do but you will and can succeed. Move everyday. Do you follow your own plan? What exercise do you get? I'm here let's talk.

Amanda Leigh,
I'm glad you decided to come back and post. I understand about the new job and missing sleep. Missing sleep can really de-rail your weight loss efforts. Have you sat down and made a new plan for your current lifestyle? Plan, plan, plan....this will help you to weather these rough times. You can do this!

I have no plan at the moment. I think I'm too tired to come up with one.....
I suppose the only real thing I can get through my brain this morning is "Drink water." Good start [I suppose].

I went through periods like this during my weight loss! A medical diagnosis that was hard to deal with, working full time, and finishing my masters. For a few months, I decided to maintain instead of trying to lose and it worked. I felt like the "pressure" was off of me at least for 1 think Maybe this is something you should try for now. Also, try to relax and get more sleep. Stress and lack of sleep both can lead to weight gain!

to me, the only time 'falling off the wagon' is really bad, is if you stay that way... you realize you need to get back on it or you wouldnt have posted and that is a great start...changing a whole lifestyle is gonna take time and effort.. it isnt like just pushing a button and saying 'okay thats it now ' lol.. wish it was that easy... we will ( most of us) have times we fall off and gain some back... its what you do when you realize it that counts... good luck hun and ill keep my fingers crossed for you

You cannot change what has happened, you can only move on from here. Don't feel bad about back sliding, use that to get yourself motivated to move forward. Start right now, this minute! Write down your goals for the day, even if it is just making it to lunch without hitting the vending machine.
Start planning your meals and taking control. You can do it!

I'm glad you're back! Try not to beat yourself up, as nothing positive can come from it. I let myself regain 65lbs a couple years ago, so believe me, I know the feeling. Pull yourself up, sweetie, you can do this!

Thanks guys....I've been a real funk lately, trying to juggle so many things at once. At the same time, I realize I'm just making excuses and then I feel worse...
Good news though....my schedule won't be as funky starting Sunday. I'll be able to hit the gym a couple times during the week before work, shower in the locker room, get dressed and head to work. The great news is that the gym is literally on my way there!
My plan right now is to not really watch what I'm eating, but focus on the physical part. Granted, I'll still be drinking a lot of water and not eating fast food every meal, but I'm just going to take it one step at a time. The habit of moving seems more important to me right now....
I'm so glad I found this form a while back. Y'all are the best

Oh! Hubby had just bought me a flower and when I told him it was my favorite color of flower, he told me to put it by my face so he could take a picture.

I feel your pain!
I dropped off the face of the Earth for a while and managed to gain back everything I lost. Definitely not proud of myself, but if we've done it once, we can surely do it again, right?
You've already taken the first step by coming back here, recommitting yourself, and getting a game-plan together. You seem to have your head screwed on straight, and I have no doubts that you can do this. Just don't get so down on yourself!
We all fall off and screw up here and there. It's just part of the process, I guess. At least, it makes me feel better to tell myself that.
