Starting AGAIN. - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Lyn2007 · 10-25-2011, 05:45 PM

Fall down 19 times, get up 20, right?

Here we go again. After my aunt's death, I struggled emotionally with not only that but with my own mortality. As it happens, I still have a drive to use food for comfort. Oh I didn't go off bingeing, but I did not stay on plan either. I tried here and there but it was half hearted. One month later, I am faced with a huge regain and started over yet again. I am still down a lot from my high weight but this is getting ridiculous. I re-started Medifast today and am hoping I can keep it together, even though I am sick right now and still not 'feeling it' with the desire to lose more weight. I have to do it anyway, for my health.

Just wanted to check in with you all. Feels like home here.

Glad to see you here

I've been following your blog for a while and your discussion of how you felt on Medifast and on lower carb diets made me decide to try it myself. I'm on my 7th week of low-carb eating and I can't believe what a difference it has made for me. Its the first time I actually feel like I could make it to my goal- so thank you for that! I hope you find the inspiration here I found from you!

Sending good thoughts your way for your re-start... one day at a time!

Hi, Lyn. Those last pounds can be a bugger. I've read bits and pieces of your blog and I know what you mean about the urgency being gone once you've dropped a lot of weight to get to a somewhat normal size. You'll figure out what you really want and get there in your own time. I'm just glad you are back in here.

good job refocusing Lyn.

And, yes, successfully losing the weight isn't about being perfect, it's about coming back each and every time and getting back on track.
