One day at a time.. you have to take one small step at a time or you will drive yourself crazy.. you have a lot of support here ... I know your frustration... I have not lost any weight for almost a year now... and all I seem to do is try to figure out what to eat next or not to eat to get the weight loss going again... But you just need to be patient... are you keeping a diet calendar? 

I know how you feel. The first week I lost three pounds and I was really happy despite the fact that is just a drop in the ocean...however week two...cos I went out for a meal I lost NOTHING!!!! Talk about deflation...it is so demotivating. Since I dont own scales I have no idea if I am doing any better this week either. All I can say for sure is though...hang in there as if we give up...how will we feel then???? You have clearly so many strong points reading your journal...im sure you will do it and feel fab! Keep going girl!  

I usually do keep a diet journal and it really keeps me on track, but this week--once I got off-track, I just gave up, I guess. Not a good thing to do :( And I should know better. I guess I will just believe that tomorrow IS a new day. 

Usually its the person that causes themselves to plateau. So to get back on track invision how badly you want to change. start counting your points and being accountable for the food you eat. theres a website dwlz.com dottie (the web page owner) posts TONS of resturants points so if your gonna go out to eat check the points and manage accordingly. I always like to think to myself. Well ive come this far i can either start ALL OVER again and lose all this weight that i already lost again or i can keep going. And i think you owe it to your self to keep going. REMEMBER HOW GREAT IT FELT TO LOSE EACH WEEK....YOU CAN FEEL THE GREAT AGAIN JUST GET BACK ON TRACK!!!!
