Poof!! Motivation Went Out The Window
Where did it go? What turned it off? Why did I sabotage all my hard work?
I have asked myself these questions over the passed few days and I have no answers. I just lost my motivation, my inspiration and determination for some strange unreasonable reason…but…
I refuse to give up!! I’ve got to find the motivation and determination I had before. I don’t want to be overweight the rest of my life.
Right now, I feel like crying. I don’t understand.
It started Saturday Morning. I was working on a Practice Wedding Cake for my daughter when I absent-mindedly licked the spoon…and it went down hill from there for 2 days…that one lick set off a two day splurge…bites of cake and icing, Dr. Pepper, pudding, hot dogs, ice cream sandwiches…you name it, I probably eat it and nothing, but nothing, that I stuck in my mouth for those two days was what one would call “healthy” wholesome food choices.
So…tomorrow, the “I will” in me will take over again and I will have to work extra hard this week to undo the damage from my weekend splurging.

So you had some cake and some ice cream and what ever else not, so you probably consumed more calories in a day than you should have…
But you are right, it’s not worth saying oh well and giving up on all your hard work…
The important thing is to lock into your memory how you feel right now at this moment so that when the temptation comes around the corner again you remember how it made you feel and you can combat the temptation next time…
Way to keep going and not give in/up!!
Good for you, don’t give up!!
I think we’ve almost all been where you are, I know I have, a few times. Just HANG ON! If you read my past blogs you’ll see that my motivation has come and gone.
Right now, it’s here.
I actually am starting to believe that this is part of the process. Maybe we need to fall off sometimes to get another piece of the puzzle for our weight-loss answer. I tend to find that when I struggle, I get another answer, another idea of clarity and another step along the way!!
I TRULY, TRULY, TRULY, believe that this is journey. A difficult one, a long one but an IMPORTANT one.
Go rent a video from your library on weight loss (if they have them) or a new workout dvd. Or even buy one if you have to. Use it for a week.
Or splurge on luxury healthy bread, or berries, or cherries or whatever (what do you LIKE???).
Find a way to get back on track! You can do it!!!!
we are alcoholics……we are addicted to food…..alcoholics stay away from booze….and never go into the lions den….they stay away from booze…..we cant stay from food….so we are in the lions den every day…..thats a new one a practice wedding cake….does it have calories?……just get back to what you are doing….try not to be perfect……get back to your eating and exercise plan a step at a time…
Big hugs. You had a slip. And really just a minor one. What is important is that you realized it, faced it and are determined it won’t get the better of you. You’ve come this far, and I KNOW you can continue. Just find that strength within you to fight for what you really want.
Don’t get discouraged!!! When you fall, we will be here, hands out, to help you back up!!
I’ve been on a plateau forever, and finally broke it this weekend. You will be fine!!! 
((Hugs))
Dont fret, it was only a couple of days of bad eating…we ALL do it, U cant be perfect all the time! The important thing is you pick yourself up, dust yourself off and step away from that spoon!! hehe
GOOD LUCK and don’t be disheartened U CAN DO THIS!

I used to have the I have to be perfect attitude and when I would turn out not to be I would be so discouraged and give up. The fact that you even posted what you have says you do not want to give up. No one is perfect. We all have slips. We have to get over the diet syndrome. We have to be on a live it plan. When I slip now I just go on like I didn’t. If I dwell on it then I binge. Slips do not make you fat, bingeing does. Hang in there!
IT TOOK MY COMMENT HOPE YOU ARE PULLING THRU
