A big mistake
After a solid year of WW and 67 lbs of successful weight loss, making
goal, and becoming lifetime I quit attending monthly meetings. Last few months I've put on 15 lbs and am now above goal again for the first time in months. I finally stepped on a scale after a big dinner tonight. I freaked. My scale's not very accurate but I from what it reads that I've GOT to be 15 lbs over. Nearly cried. I'm a little panicked I think. Haven't even been in this NG for...I don't know...6 months. Not sure what to do. Back to WW and weekly meetings? Just get back on program without meetings? Can I trust myself to do it without the accountability. I WILL NOT GO BACK TO BEING FAT AGAIN! :Bazooka-Joe |

Get your behind in the first meeting you can find!
Until then, relax, You know the program, you know what to do. Take a deep breath, take out your week one book, read it again, and start fresh and new.. You're not the only one, we've all been there, but guess what? You caught yourself 15lbs up... not 67 and more... No need to panick, it's just a wake up call... so wake up, and walk the walk! You don't get any activity points for beating yourself up... deep breath, welcome home! Will~ "Bazooka-Joe" wrote in message ups.com...

I do, even though I've been at or close to goal (within my margin for error) ever since. It keeps me good. And welcome home! Hey - you've only got 15lbs to lose!

Hey guy! You and I started about the same time and now we can restart at
about the same time. Go to a meeting - trust me. I am back on plan for a week now. I never made it to goal (only half way) and managed to regain all but 2.4 pounds so you are still way ahead of me and even I feel like it's manageable for me to do it (with the support of meetings and the great folks on here).

Being in a rut where one "has to" attend WW meetings to maintain weight
involves life-long struggling. People who remain thin naturally, however, do so because they don't crave food. There are no "naturally thin" people, but there are people whose natural behavior keeps them at normal weight. Genes help, but anyone who overeats will become overweight. Weight control is all about attitude and mental conditioning. Give serious consideration to the mental attitude solution to eliminate food cravings. Millions of normal-weight people prove that this works, without paying for weightloss memberships. "Bazooka-Joe" wrote in message ups.com...

I'm sure you feel bad and probably very mad at yourself...So move past and
get back on track...You have already made the first step by becoming aware of the situation..My guess is that you really knew but had not consciously dealt with it...I worry about the same thing happening to me...I'm 1.2 lbs from goal...I have already had the accolades stop and many know me only as thin...Having never been thin or even close to normal my entire life I am well aware that the deeper me remains overweight and I will never be able to let down my guard...Move forward Joe and stop beating yourself up...All journeys have rough spots...And I think you need to get back to meetings...In fact some of us may never be able to leave...GG "Bazooka-Joe" wrote in message ups.com...

Sorry that you find yourself sad inside... been there for sure. You're
taking an awesome step in just acknolwedging what's going on and assessing the situation! I also recently went back to the meetings after being out for over 6 months and gaining all but 2 lbs. back. It's a hard place to be emotionally, but seriously, once I went back to a meeting, I felt so relieved and refocussed. For me, the accountability is really important, as well as the weekly time to reassess how the week went, what I did and did not do, etc... as well as I get really motivated by being around others on the same journey as I am and who can speak into these struggles I face and truly know what I'm talking about! You'll be ok Joe! Nice to meet you & keep posting! : ) smiles, monica "Bazooka-Joe" wrote in message ups.com...
