Staying motivated
I started WW Jan. 2 of 2006. Until July 31, I had lost 51 pounds (of a
desired 110 pounds total). However, since August, I've gone back to my old, very poosr eating habits. I'm really afraid to weigh myself, as I know I've gained some of the weight back since then. Every time I try to get back on the flex plan, I wind up sabotaging my hard work after two or three days. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, how do you go about staying motivated and fighting the urge to eat poorly? |

most of us have been where you are, you just have to decide you are worth
the effort and deserve the effort and then... just keep trying, Lee Shofabaug wrote in message . .. I started WW Jan. 2 of 2006. Until July 31, I had lost 51 pounds (of a desired 110 pounds total).

You have to keep trying.
You have to find the real reasons why you want to lose weight, then keep them foremost in your mind at all times. If you really want to lose weight, get healthy and feel better, then only you can decide if it's worth making this effort a priority in your life. I deal with this every day of my life, but I can honestly say that slow and steady, one day at a time is the way to approach things. I'm 44 and I can't expect to change my habits over-night. I gained 9.8 lbs over the summer and didn't throw in the towel. I've now lost those 9.8 lbs + 1.4 more!..........It's taken me 16 weeks to get back to where I was, but I stuck it out and I'm finally starting to see progress again. Start right now. Forgive yourself. Tomorrow is a new day. Weigh yourself. Accept the weight you've gained back. Start your journey again with a new "I can do this attitude".......You can do this. One day at a time. You can! but you've got to want it...............no one can force you.....but we can offer you support.

Remind yourself why you started in the first place. Imagine yourself at goal weight. Inspire yourself with a photo of someone whose body you admire. Most of all, love yourself. hugs, -L. |

I'm sure each of us has been exactly where you are now...This is where it is
all up to you...The real sucess of this program comes from within us...As I often say WW is no miracle...But it teaches proper eating habits...Seems so simple...Why did I fail 100's of times before?...Why have I spent my entire 55 years on this earth with weight issues?...This time I am very close to goal...I honestly don't know what happened...But somehow I just saw the light or maybe had an epiphany...I have had my ups and downs but even in the light of failure (at least in my mind) I get up every morning and begin again...Don't be afraid to weigh yourself...It will tell you what you already know but so be it...You have come so far...You have to do this for you...Do you have it in you?...I'll bet you do or you wouldn't even post...Good luck...GG "Shofabaug" wrote in message . ..

Don't do it on willpower alone..
Decide what you really want, why you want it, what you need to do to get it. Write all of that down.. keep it in sight. Celebrate EVERY victories.. If you step down and eat something you don't want to, then get right back on track, even if it's between two bites.. Willpower is a myth, what you need is wantpower, and organization. Will~ Forget about punishment, guilt, and all those negative assessment of yourself. Look at what you do that works, and work on that. "Shofabaug" wrote in message . .. I started WW Jan. 2 of 2006.
