I needed that right now. I have been slowly creeping back into the healthier side of my brain. I was proud of myself yesterday because I did not bust the calorie count even though it was a stressful day. But today I am struggling. I haven't even restarted the exercise routine yet but I remember those days. I vote go and get it done you will feel better that you did. But I know the struggle. I have set monday for a goal and joined a challenge to exercise 30 minutes a day. Right now a little voice in my head is laughing hysterically because it knows I probably won't do it. But my intentions are good. GET ON THAT TREADMILL, PROVE YOU HAVE CONTROL OVER THE VOICES!

Hi Berly thanks for your answer. Yes, it's hard but you can do it too! Don't let that stupid little voice drive the bus. You are the one with the 2 hands that controls things not IT. One day at a time, one step at a time. Hugs!

I enjoy your sincere approach and openness to your thoughts. Elliptical 17 minutes and some weights. Much easier to sleep ONCE I decided 17 and some lifting is better then continued hibernation. Keep pushing through...best of luck.

Just the fact that you are voicing it will help. Now I want you to read out loud what you just wrote. That will make a better impression to that little voice.....

That’s ok girly! Just stay strong, we are all human and all have flaws. Whenever you are faced with those cravings, just remember why you started this journey and if that food you’re about to eat is really worth it!

Hi gang thank you for the encouragement and support. I went to the gym and did 15 min on the bike and 15 on treadmill. Not a lot but I did it! I came home and ate dinner. No binge eating. It wasnt perfect eating but it wasnt binge eating! Thanks everyone...you rock!

it's <bleeping> hard. Its a fight ever <bleeping> day. WE... if I may use we and include everyone... WE are strong enough to do it... Strong enough to fight every day.. . Strong enough to fight through the slips... WE are strong enough because all here, near and far, are in this together in some way. Today is past, good or bad. Tomorrow is what matters.

It is hard. There is no magic fairy dust that will remove the struggle. Just get back on track. Let us know how the weight lifting goes tomorrow. All the best.

I am SO proud of you! You went to the gym and ate well. You would be surprised how many mornings I want to skip out of the gym but I go anyway and once I start I am fine!

Nice post NYS...sometimes we get on a roll and the weight loss (or maintenance thing) is easy but often it is very, very difficult, with our Best intentions getting daily derailed by circumstances or our lack of commitment. Hope you get on a good roll soon!!
