What I have learned is to not beat yourself up over it but to accept it and move on..It is hard to think straight when we are sick and the last thing we want to think about is our eating habits..It also seems like if at no other time then when we are sick we need our comfort foods...I am not one to loose weight when sick like so many others do so I know how you feel.

Keep your head up and work hard you'll be able to loose those pounds you gained back.

Well then just get up and start over.* It's not the end of the world.* You did it once and you can do it again.* Now, if you want, I can threaten to come kick that a**...LOL*
But seriously, it's not the end of the world.* You just have to decide that this is what you want.* Everybody falls off the wagon once in a while.* The key is to get up and get*back on that wagon*instead of just laying there moaning and groaning.* You may have to run to catch up with that wagon, but you can do it if you want it bad enough.* And isn't the reason you signed up on BuddySlim because you wanted support?* Well, you're here now and that's a big important step.* You made the effort to log on and post a plea for help on a forum page.* You have proved that you do want it, or you wouldn't have gone to that trouble.* Now all you have to do is do it.

And remember:* Don't let a little slip ruin your trip!!!

you guys are amazing! i typed this up went to do something, returned to my desk and i have 2 replies... thanks so much! i dont feel alone. you guys are right, i just need to pick myself up and dust myself off!* i guess im alittle dissapointed in myself b/c i was on a roll!
THANK YOU GUYS!

Well...I was going to give you all kinds of good advice, but Mary and Becky got it right. They're on target--don't beat yourself up, just move on and start over. It's happened to all of us, Sweetie!! You can do this, I promise. Just hop back on that horse!!

And, remember that we are all here for you!! We can do it together!
Hugs,
Angie

Nah!!* We're not amazing!* Some of us just don't have anything better to do than sit at the computer logged onto BuddySlim all day!!!!*

Just jump back on and get moving ~* You can do it and we are all here for you.** I have to say i keep motivated alot by the blogs here and mary's saying at the end of her blogs or in the forums

************We all slip up! You came to the right place for motivation and support. I have made some really good buddies here and they have helped to motivate me and give me support. I have learned some great tips for dieting and excercise and get so much support I would not have otherwise had.
