I've been going thru something lately. I feel like I'm more aware of when my behavior is slipping back in to my old ways..and I'm able see it now and refocus.Its a great feeling but its I also feel like sometimes I walking a thin line sometimes. There are days I'm so tired and just want throw in the towel.I literally feel like sometimes I have no life bc I devote all my time to diet and exercise. However most days I feel great ! I feel committed, I feel pumped. I feel invested. I love seeing my body transform, I love feeling stronger on the inside. I just realized I need to stop seeing this as "diet and exercise" and learn to accept this is the new me. This is my new life. I'm not couch potato mom anymore. I'm active, energetic mom who loves to cook healthy meals for my family. Yes, I love cage free eggs and grass fed butter and YES, I know what amino acids are. Dear me, welcome to the rest of your life !! Have a healthy and happy one !! Love your body!! Hope every one is as pumped as I am today ...

The slip is like wet mud as I'm trying to climb up out of the pit....and keep slipping. There are some days when I could care less, and other days I just become really angry at myself for slipping. As we continue to recognize when our efforts wane, may God give us the strength, desire, and motivation to keep hoping for the best, all the while continuing to climb out of the slippery mess!

I hear you Red! Did some slipping myself lately wanting to head for those old comforts. I have to remember that was the old me not what the new me wants at all. One foot in front of the other plodding along is a start but stiffen that back and walk proud knowing you have been very successful up to this point there is no reason you need the old habits anymore!

It's good that you can see yourself slipping and correct. That also means you care about your health otherwise the "who cares?" attitude comes in. I know some days are difficult but with time comes the resolve to make a healthier you. Great job!

I agree with Rockiesfan - EMBRACE it - some days are more challenging than others - but most of the time we all feel good and that is most important.

You just said everything I've been feeling lately. It's good to know that I'm not alone and getting back being healthy is just a step away. I fog is just so thick right now I can't seem to find the light but I'll keep searching. Good luck everyone.

Self-awareness is so vital in this journey . . . though I'm not following a LC plan, I have made significant changes to my WOE and daily activity/exercise (and continue to make changes to improve both). Like you, I've had those moments of self-doubt and mild exasperation wondering if I will ALWAYS have to devote so much of my mental energy and capacity to this new way of life, but then I remind myself that it's only been a few weeks vs. a few years of bad habits and that the longer I maintain this path, the more it will become 'second nature.'

Here, here! for the "Embrace it!" recommendation. Plan to stay healthy and active from now and forever. It is natural to want to just forget about it now and then, but don't let those feelings take root. You are awesome!
