Need some motivation! Vent!!
Ugh man im tellin ya, im gettin really sick of "falling off the wagon" so to speak.. Ill get into a good weightloss routine and then all of a sudden I stop. I went over my moms today and found my photo albums from when i was about 140-150 lbs. I looked GOOD, i wasnt fat, i looked healthy.. Now here i am almost up to freakin 220 again! Ugh!!!!! A few months ago I was down to 198! What the **** is wrong with me!!! I HAVE to loose this damn weight.. I cant even stand looking at myself in the mirror right now... I feel so unattractive and disgusting. My doctor tells me that she thinks my polycystic ovaries are causing my weight issues.. So i need to go to a specialist but ive been too busy to make the appt.. They keep calling me to set one up but ive just been forgetting about it.. I want my life back.. My weight is really bringing me down. Im so selfconcious all the freakin time, i always think people are staring at me thinking "omg shes so fat, look at that cow".. I need to get back in the game!!!!!!

I know how you feel! It sucks to be in a constant yo-yo. However, you are in a new place because you can stop & say "I don't want to be this way anymore!" That's a good place to be at because for about 3 years I didn't care at all & now I'm stuck here. I didn't care what I ate or how I looked. So, good for you to getting to a place of not being content with the status quo. That is always good motivation.
As for the people looking at you thing, it's totally untrue. We as humans are so self-absorbed that if I walked down the street past you, I wouldn't even be thinking about what you look like. I would be thinking "I can feel my thighs jiggling & everyone is laughing at me." Or "Oh gosh! Suck your stomach in. People will think you just swallowed a tire!" It's just terrible the things we think about ourselves.
A few months ago you were at 198, and you can do that again. Once you get into a routine, your body starts to catch up & once you start losing, it feels so good. Your clothes fit better & you can actually see the numbers on the scale dropping. Just remember how good those moments feel.
You should join the post 5Day Challenge. We are all posting each day our cals, exercise, etc to keep each other accountable. It is my motivation this week to eat healthy so I can boast about how well I did.
Good luck! Don't get down on yourself because you will want to eat a donut to feel better. Just pick yourself up & try again. You can do it!

I am just like you. Everytime I walk down the street and think "THEY'RE ALL LOOKING AT MY FAT SELF". But in reality, it is just like Chance0421 said, everyone is worried about themselves and what other people think, that they're thinking the same things we are. Of course some people are very judgemental, but to **** with them! We're all here trying to better ourselves and our lifestyles.
You just have to find what works for you and stick to it. There will always be bumps in the road, but you have to get over them and continue on your journey. Don't let this stop you. KEEP GOING!!

These ladies certainly have great advice! I think if you give yourself a solid week of eating great and exercising periodically that you will feel worlds better and it will give the motivation to press on. I am in your same position and I'm tired of it. We can make this happen with support from each other!
P.S. MAKE THE DOCTOR APPOINTMENT - it will be one less thing plaguing your mind

I find it helps A LOT to do things because I like myself instead of trying to hate myself into them.

I totally relate!!! I have looked at pics at my thinnest and I am like woah.. why can't i get there again!?!?!?! Ugh and I have yo-yo'ed a lot. It makes me sick to think how many times I have worked so hard and then gained everything back and then some. I don't know what my problem is. It is really awful. I don't know what is wrong with me.
ugh.
We are here for you and we sympathize!!!!

I have yo-yo'd my way through adulthood so I feel ya. This summer the thing that brought it all back into focus for me was setting the goal to be thinner then I have been in my entire adult life. I had yo-yo'd back up to 198 lbs after getting down to 176 and I wanted nothing more then to tip the scales at 159lbs, I'm well on my way now and even though my motivation sometimes goes out the window, these ladies here at 3FC are here to wrangle me back in with challenges, positive thinking and the best support system a chick could ask for. So, stick around, your bound to find something here for you to help you along your journey.

When you say results are you only looking at the mirror/scale? The first results I noticed were getting a GOOD nights sleep. I realized I had more energy during the day and I wasn't hungry as much because I was eating foods with substance not just snacking on crap. Those are the kind of results you need to look for even when the scale isn't moving.

Thanks so much guys.. I felt like i was having a total meltdown today! But i did pretty good with my eating. I tracked my cals most of the day, and didnt eat much after i stopped counting (while i was at work). I bought this slimquick cleanse stuff today too thats supposed to cleanse out your body of toxins and excess water weight and stuff, so ill see if that does anything for me.
I brought the pictures of myself when i was skinny to work today. Most people were like "oh my god it doesnt even look like you!" its like gee thanks! I didnt realize i look that horrible now! haha.. Oh well.. Someday I will get there again! It may take a while but i just need to keep focused on it and I will get there!
