ugh, how is this happening. where is my motivation. why does it take me noticing my stomach getting fatter to put the snacks down.

i was so strict and dedicated, so hardcore before, and then little by little i just started slipping further back into my old ways. i think i was getting a bit too cocky when ppl started telling me that i was thinner. i guess i was feeling thinner, so i felt like i was entitled to slip up a bit. but the vicious cycle began again, and i couldn't stop with the binges and snacks.

at least i'm still exercising.

but seriously, today, i woke up, looked at my stomach, and thought oh sweet jesus, stop before its too late!!!

today is the first day that i haven't slipped up with my diet in a really really long time. i'm just so frustrated, at myself. i only have myself to blame.

just a rant, i guess. i know motivation needs to come from within.

It will be ok!!! I read on someone elses post a wonderful quote! "you do not drown from falling in the water, you drown from staying there" You can to it!!!! get that motivation back!!!

That's a great one!

Stellart - Maintenance is a big adjustment. Sticking to new habits for a few months or a year is one thing. Sticking to them forever, without the scale dropping rapidly (or at all) is something else. It's only human to have to struggle a little bit. So don't be too hard on yourself. Remind yourself all the things that are better now. Remind yourself what strategies and plans are most crucial for you. And climb back on
