I'm back from the dead.. and yet i almost am

[goal65]

hello guys. i am not only ashamed but disgusted at my not so much atkins way of life for a long time. i came back here because all the signs are telling me how much of a moron i am becausei was doing so good. i slipped hardcore and never got back on. i know it sounds like the same ol story every time and it is.. slap me in the face. i came back here and saw how many of you continued to lose over the months and you all look AMAZING and i am so proud! the time is running out for me to be down to my low by may of next year and i had so long and now it seems like i dont anymore. what inspired me to get back at this point was a commerical for "the biggest loser". i realize that i HAVE got to push myself, its my prom! i want to be hot for prom so people can remember me like that before i graduate. its been a long time... anything new going on here?

Well, you already know how to do it. You've succeeded in losing a bunch of weight already. Maybe it is time to really figure out the why you want to lose weight. Being at a good weight to be remembered by is a good goal, but how about internalizing it a bit. What will happen after graduation? What will keep you motivated then? For me the point was when I wanted my goal more than I wanted to eat something off the plan, I knew there was no looking back.

Imagine yourself at prom? Is the guy in that picture just under 300 in that picture or under 200? You can make the choice and future actions on which guy is going to be in that photo. No one else can do that for you. I see a ton of desire, and I remember how motivated you were when you first started. How to keep that desire and translate it to a longer term WOL is where knowing your goal and what it really looks like comes in.

{{{goal}}} Hey there! I think sometimes we get to feeling pretty invincible...and then suddenly we realize we're not quite the ubermench we thought. That's human type of stuff. So long as you had your aha moment and learned from it that you really are making these changes for life, this setback may have actually been a blessing!

Welcome home, honey.
