My motivation DIED~What is wrong with me??

So, I have lost a total of 15 lbs (give or take a few) by calorie counting and exercising since January 2009.

Now I think I'm sabotaging myself. I've been being lazy about my counting, eating bigger portions, and I've barely exercised last week and this week.

I am scared that I'm going to gain back what I worked so hard to lose! Please give me a kick in the rear-end!!

Does anyone else feel this way?

PS. I don't think it helps that even though I've lost 15 lbs., that I'm STILL wearing size 12!!!!

I know the feeling! I have to remind myself daily that I have to do it! I am looking at the DVD right now and telling myself to work out. Just think when you can wear the size 10s!!!! It will all be worth it then! Keep it up! You can do it.

I think what is wrong is you're human! Most people have times of low motivation - and if they don't then I'm jealous.

If it were allways easy everyone would have the perfect body... but thats what makes it all the more special when you d manage it!

Back on the horse I say!

Loosing weight is hard work.  When you reach a milestone you want to take a break.  I think what matters is how long the break is.  If it is a couple of days, no problem.  If it's longer you've got to force yourself to get back into it again.  The fact that you are logging into this site is already a good step forward.

In the same exact boat. Lost about 15 since January and still wearing some size 12 or basically almost all my old clothes. I do have to admit that some are very loose and I guess that depends on the manufacturer but I am slowy finding it difficult to control how much food goes into my mouth. So I decided to just drink lots of water and plan to eat my normal 1200-1400 calories and when I can I allow myself to eat my maintenance which is 1750 and with lots of veggies. At least that way I wont gain and I am sure I will get my motivation back. Its just a phase...... when all fails, go to your maintenance.

Hope this helps

yeah dear friend it happens 2 most of us. Avoid being lonely. it brings general dischantment, try finding like minded friends. Stress in relations perticularly ur love life cud well be the main reason. But keep telling urself that by getting fit, healthy and better looking u might not recieve accolodates from those whome u want, right now.but it is still worth it. u will respect and love urself better. And most of us are not sufficiently loving oueselves. And i m sure u will win many new and exciting friends and relations which u might not envisage right now.Do it ! ur life is sure 2 change positively !

gud luck !
