Still here - but only lurking

Hi Tanukiki,

Sorry that you're going through such a rough time right now. Things will
get better. You need to try your best to stay positive and be strong for
your family. It's good to hear from you. As Lee said, come back and post
more if you get an opportunity.......sometimes all we really need is a
little outside encouragement to spark that fire in us to get going again!

Hi all,

It's been a while since I've posted. I've been in a serious rut since
Christmas and unfortunately gained back 20 lbs of the 83 lbs I had
previously lost. I've never stopped going to my meetings.

Quitting has never been, and will never be, an option for me, but in all
honesty I've really been struggling pretty much for quite a while.

I'm happy to report that I've been back on track for the last 3 weeks. I
lost 0.4, then 1.6, then 2.8 at today's WI.

Feeling much better now and in good control.

I just wanted to say to everyone.

Hello spaceyjane!

Thank you for your words of encouragement. I sincerely appreciate them.
Refocusing has been very hard for me since Christmas. I know I have the
ability to make the plan work, because I had previously lost 83 lbs.
Unfortunately, I think I allowed the "TADA syndrome" to take over and I made
the conscience choice to indulge more than I should have. I didn't binge
and I never totally went off program, but rather indulged in bigger
portions, or the odd chocolate here or there, and before you know it, I
gained back 4, 5, 8, 10, 15, 20 lbs!!!

It's amazing how fast the weight can come back on! Actually, it's quite
scary!

Fortunately, my outlook on the situation is a renewed vigor to get back on
track and be successfully. Putting 3 weeks together in a row was a
psychological victory for me.

Acknowledging that I have to do this for the rest of my life is actually
very empowering to me. Some may find it depressing, but I personally feel
that it is the driving factor behind my determination to win this battle.

Way to go Eddie for not stopping the meetings, and for the recent loss!!!
That is awesome! You're inspiring in that you're not beating yourself over
the head and going on with refocussing your effort. I think we all have
times where we feel the full force that "tomorrow is a new day".

Enjoy today Eddie! Thanks for posting again and showing us that we all are
in this together!

Hi Audrey,
I had a long talk with myself 3 weeks ago.
There is nothing wrong with my wife or my children or my financial
situation
or my work situation - so I told myself that there was absolutely no
reason
for me to be ****ing around like this! NONE!

I still have about 15 lbs to lose to get back to my all time low - but
I'm
focusing on each meal, each day, and trying to lose 1 lbs a
week.......I'm
in this for life!

Thanks for posting

Hi, Eddie
It sounds like you are getting out of your rut. It is so hard to stay
focused and easy to get off track but since you've had losses for
three
weeks, you must be back on track. Hope to hear from you more often.

my health, get it over with and move on, Lee
