Re: HELP!! I CANT GET BACK ON THE WAGON
The same thing happened to me, but I fell off the wagon for about 7 months. (Way off the wagon) I lost 22lbs on ww last year and gained 14 back since Christmas. I just started to write everything down again, not everyday, but a few days a week. And drank water, I hate it, but drank it. In the past 2 weeks I lost 4.8 of those lbs I gained. I thought about how I wanted to look in my wedding dress, and I REALLY want to be able to wear a two piece on our honeymoon (I want that more than I wanted the food!) Hope I helped somewhat. Don't worry you can do it.

Re: HELP!! I CANT GET BACK ON THE WAGON
Hey! Are you in Levittown?? I'm in Levittown!
I'm Lauren and have been off the wagon since July 12th when I went on vacation! I haven't been back since I've been very disappointed.
When do you plan on walking? are you near MacArthur?

Re: HELP!! I CANT GET BACK ON THE WAGON
Hi girls, take it from someone who fell off the wagon for like 2 years, just get up and DO IT! What made the biggest difference for me was separating the emotion out of the eating. Eat to live, don't live to eat. This is the best motivator so far for me. I just keep thinking, Why do I want to eat all that junk? Am I hungry? Or is it just going to give me some sort of quick pleasure, then make me feel worse later? And it REALLY works! So stop beating yourselves up, it's ok! Just get up and get to it! Good Luck!
PS-I've lost 18lbs since June on WW, and I still have 26 to go, so I know how hard it can be, but just think of that two piece!

Re: HELP!! I CANT GET BACK ON THE WAGON
I fell off too....since my bro's wedding (in which the bm wore a slim silver sheath & I had to be semi-skinny) in July 2001 I gained 32 lbs!!!!!!! I have since lost 12 of those pounds & realize I don't want to be a plump bride...the dress and wanting to wear a bikini on the honeymoon is keeping me somewhat focused. I let myself have Saturday off and find it works.

Re: HELP!! I CANT GET BACK ON THE WAGON
Ok .. I have not falledn off the wagon but I come very close to it… The most important thing is not to dwell on the past.. I have benn up and down since I was 10 and this time I will not quit.. I have only lost 10 of the 35 I have lost this year.. And I refuse to give up. I just started exercising...again.. also WW has a new program starting in two weeks.. so why not rejoin then and it will give you new motivation...Stay focused and look at pics of when you were thin and when you were heavy... i HATE the way I look in my wedding pics.. i wish I lost weight for my wedding but i did not have the motivatuion,,,,
Jennifer...I totally agree with you...you just have to snap out of it
I fell off a few weeks ago and then one day I started over...right back on schedule...pick one thing...either the food aspect or the exercize and stick to it...then slowly wok in the other....
I promise it works!!!

Re: HELP!! I CANT GET BACK ON THE WAGON
come on....think about an attainable goal you want to reach. maybe just to do some exercise 3 times a week, 30 mins!
Then add another day
then add more time - 45min.
watch more healthfully, what you are eating
then add resistance training
increase weights
etc.
Dont' be general , and make sure you can 'measure' it- how will you know you reached the goal. Set short term (daily/weekly, and set long term - monthly/yearly0
This helps with me, becasue I focus on the day by day objective!
another thing that I do to keep me motivated is give my self non food reward goals...
at every 5 pound loss I can by either shoes or clothes....but I do NOT go shopping in between!!!!

Re: HELP!! I CANT GET BACK ON THE WAGON
What made me go back is the fact that 1. my dress was ordered a size smaller and 2. I don't fit into some of my clothes and I can't afford to go shopping for work clothes. I was so angry with myself this past weekend at how much of a slob I have become. So I went back to the gym this week. I am on my second day. So far so good.
