New here, mini goal met but relapsing!
Hey guys, I am new to the sight but am no stranger to weight loss battles. About a year and a half ago (Jan 5 2009) I started my WL journey, and did pretty well. I started counting, and then started changing my habits and lifestyle. I lost in total about 70 lbs. I started at 235 and now am 167. I want to get down to 130 but I feel like I am relapsing and loosing motivation. Badly. I have been binge eating chocolate Easter bunnies, and not exercising, for about 4 months off and on. I have gained back 5 lbs, and it is my first gain after all this loss, and I am scared. I feel like I am emotionally eating without any bad or stressful emotional thing going on. To be honest I've been huge all my life. Last year on Jan 5th is the first time I ever really tried to lose weight, and it worked BUT now I am the skinniest I’ve ever been, so in a way I feel like I have no motivation because of that, yet I also feel gross!!! I need to get down to goal, because myself image has changed so much and I know I won’t be happy until I am at goal. I need to regain motivation, and hop back n my wagon of what was working for me. Why is it so hard?? That is why I joined the site I guess!
