we all have setbacks, like the pizza i ate yesterday. just tell yourself to do better today!
It’s about meeting our goals, not the length of time it takes us to get there. When we make bad choices, we are reminded of what we really need to change. If we didn’t gain, we’d never change our behaviors.
Hang in there!
Don’t be discouraged!
Take this from a woman who lost 160 pounds (though I am up 10). You can do this. Don’t let bad days make worse days.
i am up as well. actually 2 lbs for me. it was so weird b/c i exercised and ate well. i was freaking out for a little while and then decided maybe it’s water weight. but it can get frustrating because i lost 2lbs last week and this week, i gained 2 so basically i went nowhere in these 2 weeks. it just makes me wonder if i’m losing anything at all. and yes, it feels really shitty. but HANG IN THERE! we should allow a few pounds of fluctuation due to water, food, or whatever. that’s why i put away my scale.
*smile*
Thanks, everyone. A few words of encouragement were just what the doctor ordered. I was pretty down when I wrote this earlier, but I got back in the saddle today and will go to bed feeling like I did the right things today. I have to keep reminding myself that this is about overall health and that weight loss is but one indicator of that. Again, I’m so grateful for your kind words of encouragement. Looks like I’ll live to fight another day.
Cheers!

Hi,
I came upon your blog today and I completly understand where you are with the whole weight loss thing. I want to lose weight as well and it is really hard, so far I have lost 17lbs but have another 80lbs to go! Eating healthy foods is something I need to educate myself about but there’s just so much information out there.
Any way I thought you might enjoy a link I have for healthy foods.

Hello,
Don’t feel down about it.It was one week,so what,it happened so let it go and get back to doing what you know you should be doing and don’t dwell on it.Don’t even think of giving up,treat it as a minor relapse and forget about it
