Red face Back after regaining 33 pounds of the 52 lost!

Last year, I was THRILLED to move that nasty little tickmeter below my target weight of 130 pounds. But that was 32 pounds ago!

After my physical body became fit, my emotional health hadn't caught up and hadn't accepted the "new" physique evolved from clean, healthy meals and exercise. My setpoint didn't budge beyond 5 pounds (+) (-) on the scales until a few months ago. I became overconfident and stopped weighing in. I consumed ridiculous amounts of sugar, fat and refined grains and the weight steadily piled back on. I remember feeling the uncomfortable difference from gaining back 20 pounds. Now that the gain is over 30 pounds, it's become physically and emotionally upsetting.

I appreciate the support of being here. Eagerly dragging out the trampoline, creating a walking schedule and considering a membership to Curves. No real diet plan, but surely cannot include sugar, flour or too much fat. For me, there can be no planned "cheat" days. Once I allow myself a trigger food, I'm setting myself up for defeat.

Sorry that you have gained back some weight. I hope things go really well for you!! I'm having some trouble with sugar, too.

Welcome back

If you did it once you can do it again.

Maybe for the future when you lose the weight again only allow like 1-2 days of a "cheat" a week and then continue to weigh in at least 1 time a week, that way if you are up a pound or two you know to be more conservative the next week?

Welcome back, sorry you're here (as it were) but well done on stopping any further roll back now. I returned on a regain of 89/107, I know how it feels.

You can so do this again and this time, lesson learned! You won't repeat the error!

I agree with you. I'm doing no flour, no sugar too and I cannot have a TASTE of either thing or it will be a full out binge and then depression and quitting lol So I don't allow myself any cheats either. Now I will have an extra fruit or veggie that goes above my daily allowance if I feel like I need one more thing or I'm going to die lol

Welcome back!

I'm in a similar situation as you. I lost 40 lbs, and when I went back to school in January 2008, I started to binge again. Over a year, I gained all the weight back. I know what I did wrong last time, and I'm working on developing skills for surviving stress that don't involve eating.

We can do it - for good this time!

I am also back after gaining. I maintained for a long time at around 214, having gotten down from 306, but after I lost my mom I started to gain, then a year later lost my brother and now I have gained back 40 lbs. I am trying to wrap my head around eating healthy again. I know I have to do this! I am back on blood pressure pills and I hate that. I will do this and so will you. We only have to keep on trying and not give up. Good luck to you all.
