Gonna come clean..with everyone!

[iwillbethin]

I have had a rough past 2 weeks. I figure one bite wont hurt etc. etc. This weekend was the worst. WEll anyways...here i am 8lbs gained...yes 8 friggin' pounds. I'm supposed to be 160 by August which i feel will never happen. I somehow have lost all my willpower...WHY WHY WHY WHY! I was doing so dang good. I have vowed to get back but i just need some encouragement. People tell me that I look so good and i guess in turn that tells my brain that i dont need to diet anymore. I know that I have to loose alot more!

Sorry for the rant just frustrated with myself....well more disappointed..

You do look good! And I'm sure you want to continue to look and feel great. You've been such an inspiration around here. I know you can jump right back on the wagon and meet all of your goals.

I definitely know how you feel. I'll do good for awhile and then something in my head clicks and I think it's o.k. to eat like I used to. After the 4th of July weekend, I had gained 6 lbs. Luckily I lost it, but it is sooooo hard to get back on track. I noticed that when i eat like I used to, I can't sleep well, I feel bloated, I just feel like crap. I feel sooooo much better when I eat this way. I'm 3 lbs. away from the 50 lb. mark. This weekend is my 20 year high school reunion and I wanted to hit the big 5-0. I'll be thrilled if I do it, but if I don't it's my own fault since I went on a binge. I'm really wanting to reach my goal. You've done great and have been very inspirational. Get back on track - you can do it. It's worth it!

Cheating is the kiss of death

Cheating is the kiss of death on this diet.
One bite will hurt you.
Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.

You've done all this work and you want to throw it away for one bite of a cookie? (or whatever it was) Was it worth it??
You should be proud of what you've accomplished and not want to lose it for anything.

Now do an extra 15 minutes of cardio and 10 push ups to get yourself back on track.

You have done so fantastically well, and so move on! Consider this little weight gain a warning! Forget about what happened, and get back on track. You just had a minor tumble, regroup, and continue to feel good about how you look, and how you have helped so many other people on here, with your positive attitude. You CAN DO IT!!!

You do look beautiful. I think that we (me included) have to think about each thing we put in our mouths instead of just throwing it in there and chewing. In the past, I would just eat to be eating. Today, I try to take one day at a time and think before I let anything touch my lips. You can do it, I'm sure!

Re: Gonna come clean..with everyone!

Don't be giving me any of that attitude missy! You're not done yet. Just pretend that this is your starting point and forget everything else. You're starting your two-week induction today! Don't make me come over there 'cause I will!

Re: Gonna come clean..with everyone!

Thanks for all of your encouragement. I started back yesterday and i have only gained 5lbs as of this morning. I think it has alot with TOM which is due on Thurs. so maybe i really didnt have a gain...who cares! I'm back on full blast and I WILL try my DARNEST to make that GOAL i have for August!

Re: Gonna come clean..with everyone!

Good for you! 3 weeks ago I also started a (2 week cheat) I had gotten down to 250.5 and then after the 2 weeks was at 262, then 257 and now only 8 days back on Induction I am at 250.5. Cheating sucks and makes you feel terrible. Good for you for getting back on. That's always one of the hardest parts!

Ride 'em cowgirl, we can beat those carbs!!!

Re: Gonna come clean..with everyone!

you are not alone! my husband keeps telling me that i look so good. so i get it in my head, hey he loves me and thinks i am beautiful.. i can cheat a little. it's a bad habit to get into.

hang in there. you know what i am doing? i am reminding myself of why i am doing this. how i felt when i really decided to make the commitment. it wasn't easy, but after a few days of sticking to my guns, it got easier. just take it hour by hour if you have too. another thing that works, it's true, put the bad things off as long as you can. it really works! the other day, i wanted to cheat. i kept telling myself that i was going to do it.. in an hour. then when the hour approached i told myself, after i vaccum. then when i was done, i said eh, i need to clean the toilet (yes, anything). so the longer i put it off, pretty soon i noticed i didn't even crave it anymore.

stay strong. you can do this. you want to do this. your SN speaks for itself.

Re: Gonna come clean..with everyone!

I know exactly what you mean. My husband keeps telling me I look good and I yell at him to wait to say that because I do not wnat my fat goggles to come off yet. I have hit a downward spiral of cheating and cheating because I had this mentality of I am doing so good I can take a break. Now I can't seem to get back on the wagon.

that's so funny you say that. i told my husband the other day, babe, i appreciate you being so supportive, but i have a long way to go. wait until i lose some more before you keep paying me all these compliments.

you will get back on it strong. i know i have been at this board quite a bit more needing the inspiration. go to the before and after threads. i love the pictures, they always encourage me to get it together. good luck!!
