I'm still working out several times a week, but my eating habits are much more of a struggle, and I get so embarrassed when I see all of yur posts and know that I am not doing those things, and I am not losing the weight.

After I was sick, my scale said that I had gained back all the weight I had lost and I got so disgusted. No matter how many times I got on it, no matter what time of day--and it just pissed me off. I mean how was it possible? So I just started eating whatever again, and now I am losing again, but I still feel discouraged. I mean, my word, why is this so hard?
Tink honey, we all have times in our weight loss lives when we just cant seem to make any progress. But the key really is to not give up. Its like trying to learn to ride a bike. At first we keep falling off and skinning our knees no matter how hard we try. But if we dont give up after much hard work, setbacks , disappointments, something suddenly clicks and we can do it. So put ICanDoIt bandaids on your knees, your Determination helment on your head and try it again, and again, and again til it works. Luv Ya -Dee
