Need to get remotivated

[efeezell 17]

Well I had my surgery about 8m ago and I have lost roughly 80lbs, but I have basically fallen off the wagon so to speak. Any tips on getting myself back to eating healthy

I too had troubles last month ! I am about 8 months out and had actually gained 5 lbs over the month of January . I was so mad at myself, and used my anger to fuel my resolve. My advice is to take 1 day at a time. Try to eat clean and exercise just 1 day . The success builds upon itself and you will soon be back in the swing. It gets harder for sure. Don't get caught up in negative thoughts, you CAN do this! We can do this!!! Start right now, only eat mindfully and when u r truly hungry. food is fuel, not pleasure. Sledding with my kids the other day was pleasure, something I could have not done before.

The last 2 months I have been stalled more than I have been losing. I think it's normal at this stage. We've lost a lot of weight - our bodies are in shock and want to rest. The only thing that seems to work right now is changing it up, the food and the exercise. I cut out all simple carbs (no bread, no Pasta, no rice, no goodies, no Protein Bars even!) and eat a lot more veggies and fruit with my requisite Protein. At the gym I've gone from 30 minutes of cardio every day and 30 minutes strength 3x a week to at least an hour of higher intensity cardio, 45 minutes of strength, and cross fit. Not saying you need to go overboard like me, but get that heart rate up for at least 20 minutes a day and you will see the scale move down again. You absolutely can do this!!
