I calorie count. I use
www.sparkpeople.com it's great, I have definitely been in the habit though of tracking, doing great, losing 40 lbs or so, then thinking, "I can do this on my own!"
When I gain more than half the weight back, I realize I can not do it on my own and will most likely NEVER be able to do it on my own.
So, I track.
I weight once a week, daily fluctuations can make me too emotional/bingey feeling.
I'm an emotional eater. I never admitted that before this last time and it's really making this easier, because for me, it is NOT just 'eat less, move more.' there is a lot of mental work involved. That more than anything I think will be the decidnig factor in if I can keep it off this time!
I exercise 6 days a week. I can't do much, I have chronic pain, but I do SOMETHING almost every day.
I need to stop leaving here. When I leave here, I know that I'll gain. So looks like they are stuck with me forever!
Good luck, welcome back, and you haven't failed until you've quit!
