NYNY & HHH- Really struggling

My weigh in was up another pound, and I think I got in 3 days of
exercise.

I can't seem to get or keep myself on track. Every day I tell myself
I'm going to stick to points etc, but every day I end up blowing it. I
can't find my switch!

I think part of my problem is that because I look so much better than
I did when I started that my motivation has dropped off. The reasons I
started don't really hold anymore. I'm not happy to spend the rest of
my life at this weight/size but it doesn't seem to be enough to keep
me going. I was thinking last night that I miss Tony, he would have
given me a good kick up the backside and who knows, it might have
helped.

Strangely enough, I'm hoping that the Christmas season might actually
help me. I'll have heaps of things in the house to snack on and lots
to do to keep me out of the cupboards when I'm not hungry. I still
need some gentle but firm kicks I think ;-)

Thanks for being here you guys, it helps.

I am sorry you are struggling but you know that in the end it is really up
to you to do what you think is best for you. If that is taking a break or
continuing on it is up to you and only you can control it, Lee

nah - I don't do gentle - so it'll have to be a decent firm UK kick
here......*grin*
I find when I'm feeling the urge to slack off - with exercise for example -
I always think, yeah, well, I could, but I have no real excuse today, so
maybe tomorrow (or whenever)....when I really need to I will, and I make
myself do it now. You've come so far, you know how much better you feel,
and think - it could yet be better still! Come on - you know you're worth
it

Consider your butt gently, but firmly, kicked;-)

I got back on track, so can you.

Hey, you want to live long and be able to chase those kids in a
healthy way so get back on program (how's that?)

Or.. okay, Maintaining because you like the way you look now is one
thing but gaining a pound is NOT maintaining, lady. So back to it!
(better?)

All kidding (sort of) aside - Good luck

Sorry you're having such a problem, Erin, but keep on trying & eventually
it will click in - I know as I've just been through it. Hope it clicks in
real soon.

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble staying OP. Maybe you should set a
goal each week as to the number of days OP. At the end of the week give
yourself a treat if you meet your goal. Maybe you need a different kind of
insentive to keep you going. Also, you might reevaluate the reasons for
losing the weight. Remember that it is more than just how you look that is
at stake here. So is your health. Keep trying and one of these days you will
find your switch put it takes a lot of patience. Keep journaling and
drinking your water. You mention that you'll have plenty of things to snack
on for the Christmas season. Is this going to help you? I find that if there
is extra food around that I am more inclined to snack more and go over my
points. I work best on the "out of sight-out of mind" philosphy. Good luck.

You know I was just telling a co-worker how I couldn't go the full cream hot
chocolate for fear of a weight watchers lady jumping out from behind a tree
and slapping me silly ..

You want to watch out or i'll fly over there and whoop you if you breach
your daily point allowance!!!!

(did that help?)
