3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community - I need to be held accountable for my actions!

Hi there,

I've been reading these forums for a while, but just joined 3FC this morning. I have been having such a terrible time getting started with my weight loss journey. I started Weight Watchers last week (I did it about 5 years ago with some success) but have already fallen off the wagon twice (two late-night binges).

I realize one of my biggest issues is holding myself accountable for my actions. I know that if I cheat when I eat, I won't lose any weight. Obviously. But somehow I trick myself into thinking that if I cheat and no one knows about it except me, it won't affect my weight loss at all. For example, I tend to talk to everyone about my eating and my diet when I'm on-plan, but then I just pretend I'm not on a diet when I'm not doing so well. Or I always write in my journal on the days that I'm on-plan, but if I've binged that day, I won't write a journal entry that night. If no one knows about it, it never happened, right?

Wrong. I need to hold myself accountable for my actions if I ever want to get anywhere. so I'm joining 3FC so that I can share my successes as well as my regressions with like-minded souls and hopefully get the support I need to put an end to this Yo-Yo madness.

I'm happy to be here. Thanks for listening.
