​First, congratulations on your up coming wedding!!!

Maybe go back to your diet book you were given and start from the beginning and exercise. Being nervous about the wedding could be it also. Take a deep breath and have a shake for at least one meal a day and remember to chew chew chew and make your meals last 20-30 minutes.

((((hugs)))) it is probably stress. Breath!! You can do it. Follow the rules that you have learned over the last few months. Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

you are stronger than you think you are

you acknowledge making bad choices so make better ones

you lost a good bit of weight and congrats to you on that.

but it boils down to either you do it or you dont..eating better food in your allotted amounts....so just hang in there...and remember 3500 cals is a pound and if you eat more cals than you burn off, you wont lose and or gain....

Back to basics!! Measure and track everything! You can do it. Use your wedding as a motivation not a deterent.

I agree with hely88- go back to the basics. Measure and/or weigh everything you eat and track every calorie.

I would even consider going back to your nutritionist and letting them help you get back on track.

Best wishes!

I'm confused. Your dr doesn't want to fill you anymore, but why? Are you in the green zone already? Because everyone's different. If you're not in the green zone refusing to fill you makes no sense.
