Default When I was doing so good too

I have been on this journey for about 7 weeks and I was doing so well. I was not craving unhealthy food and excersize was becoming a little easier then I realized what my downfall is, the weekends. I completely bombed this past two weekends I have commited to not drink any Dr. Pepper except once a week while on date night with hubby. I went to a carnival this weekend and a pizza party last weekend and from there it was downhill. I have tried to do what some of you ladies do by looking up the menus and trying to be prepared, and that worked a tad bit.

I was actually feeling like I could do it this time, I am so tired of being this weight I could cry, I feel like a complete failure. I am overwhelmed with this feeling that I will never change, and it hurts so bad. I know this whole thing is emotional for me and some days are better then others. I just need my commitment back. Where did it go?

I am focused on getting back on board today, getting ready to go excersize hopefully my endorphines will kick in

thanks for listening

You sound exactly like me. I need to get back into gear, quickly! Before I undo the 17 lbs I have lost already. Lets get back on track together! We can do it!

Hope, the only way you're a failure is if you give up completely and there's no giving up allowed here! You've slipped up, but you can get back on track again, I know you can!

I don't think you can put RL completely on hold while you lose weight - there's always going to be some social thingy to go to and your friends/colleagues/family members will not be happy if you use "I'm on a diet" as an excuse not to go.

Bottom line is, we all slip up. As long as you get back on plan as soon as you can, you'll be fine...

What if you break it down into smaller chunks and tackle one at a time? For example, maybe next weekend you focus on sticking to the eating part of your plan on Saturday only. Once you can do that consistently, then work on exercise Sunday, then focus on exercise Saturday, and last food Sunday. This make take you a while, but if you give yourself some room to get used to the idea of "on plan" weekends, in a short time it may feel "normal" to you.

Failure? Nonsense. A couple of weekends can not erase 7 weeks. Slip ups are bound to happen. Skinny people have slip ups too, ya know the skinny ones who have ALWAYS been skinny. Their trick is they don't sweat it. They don't overthink it. They eat poorly one day, the next day they're right back to eating well again. They don't make it an option NOT to eat well the next day. It's just what they do. In fact they probably have their little slip up full well knowing that it's just a little blip and a once in a while occurence. No big deal.

This IS your time, nothing's changed. Ya got that? Good.
