It is sooooo hard to stay on the right track!

Well after almost a month of feeling sorry for myself for sooooo many reasons I'm back.

I am trying to find a job I work for my husband which is hell, I am VERY unhappy in my personal life and I recently had an interview for a job I REALLY wanted and didn't get it.  Needless to say I felt soooo sorry for myself I took it out on my body with food!

I gained about 4-5 pounds today it is four, but I just can't stop the madness of eating non-healthy foods in a moment of sadness!  It sucks!

Today I woke up weighed myself and saw the weight  that I am over which is 4 and as I was walking down stairs I said to myself I should just attach 4 pounds of butter to my knee caps....hearing them creek as I went down the stairs!

I get so mad at myself for feeling sorry for myself and losing control....hopefully by coming back to calorie count with all of you wonderful people you WILL give me the support I need to turn this around.

FYI - I have been trying to lose about 25 pds in total I was down about 14 and now up by 4 I realize in the big picture  of things it is not much.....but for  me EVERY pound is really hard to lose....I just am so mad at myself that I can't find other methods of feeling sorry for myself in those low moments than taking it out on my own body!

Tess!  You have already made some excellent choices:  you have mentally decided you want to become more healthy and two you have joined the BEST site to get you to where you want to be!

Everyone has given you not only excellent advice but you can hear how sincere we all are, ALWAYS keep us in your loop of support.

I have been in the program only for about 3 months and it has changed my life!  From just having support with my emotional journey with trying to lose weight to truly some excellent advice.

So my advice to you: one like I said keep chatting on CC and two literally take it no farther than one day at a time.  You have to really stay on the right track to achieve your goal, but you can do it.....like so many others that you will get to know in CC.  Good luck and YOU CAN DO IT!

Me too after perfect 2 weeks I just lost it one by one first the food then the exercise. today I am back to the the gym after 3 days off but not that good with the food!!

I can say I lost 3 lb but really not sure about them that my weight just varies!! I just feel or afraid that I am fouling my self!! and I get my max weight as start weight and minimum weight as the currant. Although I did try my best to weigh my self with empty stomach each time!!

I just get afraid then I get fed up with my self then I just say what ever I did not do any thing. I  am just starting and any way this double-triple servings of eggs is not a Pizza so it is OK!! then it comes to the dates!!!!!! 3*3*3*#*#=???? the nuts !!!

Dear we all going to do a major change that every  one will have up-down moments or weeks but the most important thing that we keep the good things  and skills we developed before we fell so we can catch up again. 10 lb is great job It looks like a dream for me here, My first goal is 5% of my weight=9 lb. Then I will move foreword with bigger steps. I know you think it is hard to gain 4 lb again!! you can loss them but just if you keep your spirit up. 

Me too I am always hard on my self , Then I see this as that people and life are  hard on me  then I  feel sorry for my self so I  Eat,Then I feel that I am in trouble then I think for solution then I get behind in my  life work  so I give up counting calories and eat more

I should  celibate the good things I do and  not to be hard on my  self for the mistakes.

You said why not to do something  but eating this is some ideas I just had !! I hope they will work,I 'll try them!!

1. dance.

2.  have a walk.

3. call a friend.

4. take a warm bath.

5. glass of cold refreshing water.

Ahh good thing I learned from a Dr, helping a lot to loss wight!! is   3 times a day 10 min each early morning, noon and sunset. Close your eyes ( see you self doing the wrong things  for 4 min the 2 min in relaxing place then 4 min doing the right thing)

I need to choose one!!

I need a hobby!!other than cooking !!

Thanks for the pep talk....yes bottom line I have to stop those moments before they are way out of hand of eating something wrong and than just giving up for the day.

And one good way is staying out of the kitchen!

I have to re-start like soooo many others and remember one day at a time!

Those are words to live by!

Thank you!
