iv fallen and im stuggling get back up

  • iv finally after nearly a year well and truely fallen of the band wagon. for 2 weeks now iv been eating, chinese, cakes, currys, mcdonnalds, cookies, and stopped going the gym.
    iv got on the scales and iv put 3lbs on!
    i keep telling myself to stop it and im ok for most of the day, but come tea time i cant control myself. i feel really angry with myself for coming so far, from 220lbs and a uk size 22 to 177lbs and a uk size 16, and now all but giving up.
    im NOT going back to where i was before i really really want to be a size 12-14 come christmas but i just cant seem to find it in me..

    pleeaasseeee help me find my mojo
  • Well 3pounds isnt much,thats the good news. Why not write down a list of the reasons and benefits of sticking to your eating plan? Worked for me.
  • yeah ill do that now

    1) to be able to go into anyshop and buy what i like not just what ever is available in my size
    2) to go swimming without dying of shame
    3) to not stick out like a sore thumb in a group of friends
    4) to be classed as 'healthy'
    5) to be around as long as possible to see my kids grow up and have my grandbabies
    6) to be able to feel proud of my self and to say 'i did it!'

  • So now focus on those benefits and get on the wagon again. Just consider the last two weeks as a re-fuel break. You have just enjoyed all those foods that you missed the last year. But that's it.!!!

    If I was eating like that fot tow weeks, I would gain about 10lbs.
    So be happy that your "break" cost you only three.

    Way to go girl!!
  • 3lbs is not that much, you will drop it in no time cheer up!
