Weight was up this morning. Everyday, hour to hour, this is so hard to do when my mind is not into it. It is always on my mind to lose weight. It has been since I was 10. I guess I am successful in a way b/c if I didn't try, I'd be 200+ pounds, I'm sure. But, I just don't feel that into it right now and I have to be. I feel stressed and I don't know why, so I eat mindlessly. I was really into losing weight back in September/October and did good, but then lost the motivation. I just get so tired of this. I am the textbook yo-yoer. How do I stop? I try to think of it as a way of life change and not a "diet", but how do you adjust to all that is around you like at family functions????
So the hours drag by, but now I look up and it is already Jan 10th and I want to be 152 by the end of the month, and this morning I was 156.8. What is wrong with me? I'm such a procrastinator. I thought losing 26 pounds in 26 weeks was very doable, and it is, if you are not me. I hope this feeling goes away. Hopefully I can work this out. I have been exercising, but my downfall is and has always been my diet....

Obviously tough if your mind's not there. I eat about every 3 hours which pretty much keeps me going. Don't know if you are doing that or anything. Works well for me.

You sound like me about three months ago. I took a break and came back with a different outlook on it. I kept getting so wrapped up in counting calories, working out, and combined with not losing I really burnt myself out. Now, I am at a place where I am not restricting things I want but am eating smaller portions and eating as healthy as possible but not limitting myself. I am working out but if I can't get to it that day I just plan to do it the next day. I know some people may say that I really am not trying to lose but what is the point of all this if you go crazy in the process? Eat healthy, workout, and if you want to go out to eat....go out to eat and don't worry. Do what you can and don't beat yourself up for what you can't. You will get there, maybe a bit slower than you thought but at least you will be happy.

I think part of my problem could be saving time. To save time at the grocery store, I end up grabbing the same stuff to eat every week. So, I am basically eating the same thing almost everyday except for dinner. I do try to eat 5-6 small meals per day, but it's like I still want to snack (like on chocolate, yikes)!! Bad. I think I need to devote more time to planning before I go to the grocery store. Plus bills and saving money are on my mind and it's like there is only room for one thing in there :) Thanks for the thoughts. I think I was in a pretty bad mood yesterday.

Hi Loveaic! For me, I stayed away from dieting for so long because I didn't want any diet to consume me or feel like such a failer, I guess? The big thing is to commit to what you can, if you feel like losing weight is the hardest thing in the world, then it will be. Commit to small changes, something you can handle. Do not set yourself up to fail. Think of small changes. HECK! I love love chocolate so I swapped it out for dark choc and still till this day, I eat it! I love carbs, so I switched to healthy 100% whole wheat. Losing 40 lbs took me years, but I got here. And every milestone was something I celebrated. I didn't make all the healthier choices over night either, I, little by little, changed things. Change what you can, baby steps. Hope that helps.
