Your question is my biggest fear. I wish there was something that I could say to encourage you. But I am going to keep checking back to see if someone might be able to give you some advice that I could use too!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luckysmomma 407 Posted May 18, 2013 Go back to the basics...protein, Water, and mix up your exercise routine. You may want to mix up your food, too. You may just be bored with the routine you were in...try a new routine. If you aren't writing down your food, you may want to do that for a bit...so you can keep a check on how many sweets like the mm's & ice cream you mentioned that you're having, so it doesn't get out of control. Best of luck to you! Take care! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first I would do in my home is get rid of all the bad food. 2nd I would look for a healthy substitute to satisfy the craving. 3rd I would look at an old picture to remind me that I don't want to go back.

rewind 39 Posted May 18, 2013 I am almost three months out. I have good days and bad days....but you can't stop now. You can't. You have come too far and you are worth it. Think back to all the miserable ways of obesity, and all the things you couldn't do.... think of the progress you made and how good it feels. Maybe talk to a professional to get back on track. Lose all the bad foods you have on hand. 'Cheat' on something you're allowed to have....buy something new; clothes, candles, something for your home. Keep talking to yourself to get your head in the game. And as suggested, switch up your exercise routine and diet. And surround yourself with people and places that will promote success. And if you have faith, pray for the strength to continue this journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dreamerfalava 6 Posted May 20, 2013 Thank you everyone!!! Yes I think I'm bored with my routine I have been afraid of trying new things so I pretty much eat the same thing day in and day out I'm afraid things won't sit well with me so I stay in my comfort zone I need more variety and I need to get rid of the junk that's made it's way back into my home..

CharmingTortoise 83 Posted May 20, 2013 You caught it early - really - two weeks into a bad eating cycle isn't that much damage. I bet you caught this way earlier than you have before. Just get back into like you've said just above and you'll be in fine shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
