I fell off the wagon today, and I need some help and inspiration to stay on the wagon until I can figure out a new strategy. It was an emotional eating thing -- a day so full of stress on every level, professional, personal, and with my kids school. I ate a 28 point WW breakfast, and my daily WW points are 26. I had already gone way over my points for the week the night before. I am guessing that I am 50 points over my weekly points. ACK.

I have lost 30 pounds on this journey, during a relatively low stress period of my life.

I am having some difficulty, need to re-read Beck, and perhaps, apply it this time...

You're going to be all right and bounce back from this. Just get through one day and you will feel motivated to get back to your original plan.

Everybody falls off the wagon at some time, whether it is eating more than or not doing their daily exercise. Instead of beating yourself up about it, put it behind you and don't give it a second thought. You have already lost 30 pounds, so I know you have the drive and dedication to continue losing.

If you start feeling that urge to eat, take a walk. Or read, or work a puzzle...anything to get your mind off food.

I would say good luck, but I won't because you don't need it. You're going to be just fine

Thank you, Kittykatfan. I am dazzled at your 86 pound weight loss. Very impressive.

I know the feeling sucks- but you will pick yourself up and move on.

And I am dazzled by your 30 pound loss.

Remember Each One: Teach One. You might be inspired by others, but you too are very inspiring!
