I know exactly how that is. After three months I cheated and it all went down hill from there. I am back for my second round and this time I am not cheating. Some things that have helped me is to journal. I have never done this before and sometimes I have to force myself to do it but it has helped me sooooo much. The night before I wrote out all my goals and I wrote a letter to myself telling how I felt and how miserable I was. It is one thing to know your goals but it is nice to have them on paper and you can always add to them. It has been a huge help to be able to go back and see how I got through certain days that I struggled. It is also nice to see what foods I really enjoyed. My husband even likes to hear what I write
Another thing I would recommend is DO NOT LEAVE THIS SITE. You have awesome support here. We don't want you to leave us
We all want to help you on this journey. We are going through the same thing as you
We need each other.
When I was eating whatever I wanted I felt as if I had the freedom to do that. How dare someone tell me I could not have a bag of chocolate or a piece of pie. Truth is I was never free.....I was in bondage. Food had a hold of me and it was controlling my life. Is this the freedom you want? You will be able to have these foods again in time but you will be able to control the food rather it control you.
So IP friend review those goals. Do some planning and get back on it. I know you can do this!

She also said no exercise for at least two weeks then start walking. Forgot my salt for two days. Forgot my vitamins at dinner so took em before going to bed. Am I obsessing? I actually forgot and licked the knife that I had made my daughter a peanut butter and jelly sandwich....shoulda seen me spitting in the sink and wooshing water in my mouth straight from the faucet to rinse it out. Please, please let this work.
I bet you will be totally shocked when you see how much you have lost.

Good luck tomorrow!!
Hope you do Awesome at your weigh in and smoke the scale
