Default fell off the food wagon

I feel so guilty . I have beem doing WW points for 8 weeks. Today was a real bad day .I ate everything. Still less than I used to eat. And it wasn't "bad" food. Mostly it was cottage cheese and fruit.
I have lost 10 lbs. in the last 8 weeks.Not much .I get discouraged. How comei t was so fast and easy to gain? This is not fair...I love to eat.....
Hate exercise ,love to sit...I need motivation.
I am finding that I am moving around more .SO I am seeing benefit of the 10 lbs loss. But its so slow going.
I have every kind of exercise equipment you can imagine and never even try it.
I do think my husand tries to sabatoge me.He buys all kinds if junk food.Yesterday Girl Scout Cookies!!
He had gastric by-pass surgery and is managing to gain the weight back.I am trying to be an example that he too could try and lose the weight again.

Oh well, sorry this was long winded, I just feel so down and mad at myself

Have you talked to him about it? Does he shrug it off? If he won't take it seriously, you've got to just put your foot down. Tell him to stop bringing junk into the house, you're sick of it and you will not tolerate it in your home. Remind him that he had GBS so he NEEDS to eat well, plus you're trying to lose weight. It's not fair of him, he needs to be supporting you. It's like putting cartons of cigarettes in front of someone trying to quit. Then of course you have to worry about him buying food while he's out and just eating there. Have you (or he) thought about therapy?

My partner would try to bring in junk when I was trying to improve our eating. What I finally did was everytime he brought crap into the house I gave it away to someoen else. Once he realised that if he kept it up, he'd waste all of his spending money on food he wasn't eating he stopped. And I told him we'd go on WW together and he'd probably love it. And he does. Why? Because he can still eat his favourite foods in moderation, he's learning portion control, and he gets a lot of points

But yeah, try talking to him first for sure. If he doesn't listen/shrugs you off/doesn't take you seriously I'd honestly just chuck all the stuff he buys into the garbage and pour Lysol on it explaining to him that you can't have that kind of temptation around and any food you find in the car or house will be treated the same way so he might as well stop wasting money.

Also, sit down with him and make a list of your guilty pleasure foods and try finding low point recipes so you can still have them. My partner and I both looove pizza and cheese sticks. Now we make homemade pizza with skim cheese and wheat crust, and I make the bread crumb cheese sticks (the recipe is in the WW recipe section of this board). Much healthier/cheaper in points AND we get to eat more.

I fell off the wagon, too. I was going to re-start today... but... my mom stopped by this morning and brought me breakfast from McDonalds... then there was a birthday party at work and they pressured me into having a slice of cake (I must've polietly declined at least three times... but then they told me what kind of cake it was and I totally caved).

But... tomorrow is a brand new day and I will (again) try to get back on plan!

Girl Scout Cookies... my husband got some also! Not just "some" - his best friend's daughter sells them so he bought twelve boxes. I hid them all from myself... out of sight, out of mind.

Try not to be too hard on yourself. It is so easy to be fat... it takes a lot of work to be thin. You can do it... and the girls on this forum are amazing to use as support - take advantage of this forum!

I know that it can be hard with your SO is eating everything around. My hubby eats anything and everything and doesn't gain weight at all. That can be frustrating. But I have adapted pretty well by now I think.. Most of the junk food that he eats isn't things I would normally eat anyways. I think you need to talk to your SO. He really ought to be eating better too if he is gaining weight back even after having gastric. *hugs* Hang in there. Just remember that every day is a new day. You have the decision today to eat well!
