Just got back from Hatteras Island. Took a look at some pictures of my husband and I from this weekend, and I'm so disappointed with the way I look. I am so ashamed of how much I haven't cared what I've been eating lately. I have been seriously slacking in the food department. I'm getting more exercise, but I have been eating shit, ladies and gentlemen. I haven't gained any weight, but I'm sure not moving towards my goal. So now it's time to cut the crap and get serious. I unfortunately had to give up my gym membership because of my being unemployed, but I plan on spending some quality time with Jillian, Billy Blanks, and a nutritionist lol. But seriously, I took my blood pressure and it is up again, and my Dr is PISSED at me. I'm pissed at me. I can't bullshit around anymore, I have to do this right. You know how they say you have to hit bottom before you can move forward, well this is my bottom. I'm doing it for real this time!
Anyone else had a "relapse" like this? I feel like a crazy person. Any advice/brutal honesty/kicks in the ass would be appreciated buddies!

It is a learning experience just like everything else. You get lax about what you are eating and this is what WILL happen. Not might happen. Will happen. That is something you need to get through to your core and never forget: old habits = old body. I had some months, especially near the beginning, where I would just stop calorie counting and the result was always the same, even though I kept exercising: I stopped losing weight. Cause and effect. I found nothing mysterious about most of my own "plateaus" in hindsight. But eventually I accepted that this is not something I can turn back from, and you can't either. Just take it as a reminder that you need to be mindful of making good choices because they don't make themselves. Old habits die hard but they do die eventually. Tomorrow is a new day, don't wait to make the changes you know you need to make!

Well lets see.. have I ever been there.. umm maybe.. I have been over weight for a good 10 years or more.. I have been on countless diets. And I agree that some of us have to hit rock bottom and really get that wake up call. That happened to me in May of 08.. and Then I really got serious in Jan. of 09.. you can look at my weight chart and see that I am serious then I slack for a bit and serious then I slack for a bit.. but the The only reason I have been so successful this time is that I have not given up. When I make a series of bad choices and I get on the scale.. first I have my "awe crap" moment then I have my "oh yeah" moment when I think of all the food I ate.. then I have my "thats it" moment and instead of giving up.. I start right back up.. no waiting till monday or after the blah day.. right then right there.. never give up.. you have not lost the battle until you give up. We all need a wake up call from time to time.. that was yours.. just a little wood to stoke up your fire.. It is a positive.. you are now in the right frame of mind to tackle your problem. YAY FOR YOU! GO out there and gettem tiger! :)

I think the best lesson you can learn from this is that eating sh!+ will make you feel like sh!+. Whenever I get tempted to not exercise or eat the wrong things, I just remember how crappy I will feel, and that stops me. Don't try and forget the past - remember and learn. And don't take so long in posting. Sharing what you're going through will give you strength to get past. There's no shame here - just a lot of fellow voyagers.

Thank you guys! I am tired of feeling bad, looking bad, and being unhealthy, and this was my wakeup call. I appreciate the support, and glad I'm not alone!
