Weightloss hasn't always been an issue for me. In high school, I was a competitive, big time jock and didn't have to count my calories because I played every sport. In college, I channeled my competitive side toward academia and partying hardcore.
Before I knew it, I gained 70lbs. I didn't noticed how much weight I had gained, nor did I care how much I gained.

I have started and given up MANY times. I want this time to stick.
Can any of you that have already lost a significant amount comment on what makes you consistent with your plan?
Since restarting, I've only lost about 4lbs by keeping my calories around 1400 cals/day. I let my boyfriend convince me that we should go out last night and I ate 1,200 cals over my plan. While I have learned from these forums that I should be forgiving myself, and that occasional binges can help keep your metabolism in check, I can't seem to let it go completely. I was in an annoyed/p*ssed off mood last night because I let myself do it.
A lot of times when I diet, I feel like everyone around me is a food pusher. They seem to not understand when I reject their homemade cupcakes, or their home-brewed beer. I don't know how to handle it! Just a few days ago, my roommate was mad at me that I wouldn't go out with her to Taco Bell. My work has a dedicated day of the week in which most everyone brings in utter crap (doughnuts, cakes, pies). I wish I didn't have to surround myself with all of it. What do you do?! There are SOO many temptations. The more temptations, the more likely I will binge
