I've fallen and I can't get up....

[jazlyn]

Soooo, I fell off the wagon these past two weeks and I fell reallllly HARD!!! I also haven't been on the site for the past two weeks so that should tell me a little something..anyways, I'm here for support because I need all the support I can get, my husband on the other hand is doing really well, I'm so proud of him. I don't know why I still continue to make excuses for wanting to eat the things that I shouldn't, but I do....

feeling hopeless,
jazlyn....

btw: thank you soo much for the words of encouragement on my introduction thread!!! =-)

Jazlyn, well we all want to eat the things we shouldn't, that's why we're here. So don't feel bad, and some of us continue to mess up and keep trying. Just make up your mind that this is what you really want and go after it. You already know it's not easy, so I won't tell you that, but you also know it's something that can be done, because you were doing it. There's days when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and I think, "who are you fooling," and I just want to quit, and go back to eating anything I wanted. But, I haven't given up yet, because I want to feel better, I want to breathe better, and I want to look good darnit. So do you or you wouldn't be here. So just keep trying, and trust yourself to do what is Good for you. Treat yourself better than you have by eating right, and getting your weight in line. You're so worth it.

Hi Jazlyn. Yes, it is always hard to break habits and start new ones...however if you make a plan to incorporate the new WOE including the exercise into your routine, you'll start to see the inches drop and your motivation will increase.

One thing that really helps is to get active here with the people who understand. Everyone here is great at encouraging each other to make it happen. There is so many forums on health/life issues, challenges, journals, inspirational stories/photos and people who want to see you succeed.

Write out the reasons you want to lose the weight, get a visual (or actual photo) of yourself at the size you want to be. Don't look back or compare yourself to anyone else, do it for you. You can do it, and we are all here for you! Keep us posted on your progress so we can help you celebrate your success.

I agree with the others..If you post more and interact more we will be able to support you..Its hard to rely just on hubby who is probably losing weight quickly
