I dont know why it happens, but it happens to me with every diet/weight loss program/exercise program I have ever been on. I am all sorts of gung ho about things, and I get amazing results then once I hit the same mark with a weight loss of 50 pounds or more, I fizzle out...the enthusisim and ambition that I started out with is gone....And this holds true still. I had surgery, was very fortunate to get it.....I was making awesome progress, keeping on tract with everything and sticking to the letter. I lost 55 pounds and now....ththththththup...(thats me giving a raspberry) I get very passay about my diet, I dont exercise...I dont know if I just figure AHH I lost enough....or AHHH I dont have to do this any more....or what the deal is....but I am at one of them fizzled out spots, and I still have a way to go till I meet my goal. I am just soooo not into a food jouranl, and exercising and water.....its passed its glory with me....and I dont know how to get that enthusism back....I can say Im tired, or I have been thru sooo much that I am overwhelmed...blah blah blah....but I am my first priority and I just dont know how to rediscover that committment once its gone. Anyone else feel that way? I use to be faithful with my weigh ins...I was soo proud of my accomplishments....I would call my father every Sunday with the weigh in, now ~ Not so much.....I find myself sneeking more and more of the things I can't/shouldn't have~~~ I have just lost it. Wheres my spark?

I'll just sit here with ya porclindoll and see if someone can wack:frusty: us both up side the head and snap us out of this viscous cycle:bowl: of self distruction!!!:angry

Breathe, breathe, now GET BACK ON THERE!

How's that for an ass kicking!

I called La_Madam way too early this morning because I'm suddenly having cravings for gooey sticky goodies at 7:00 in the morning. I'm only 1.5 pounds away from losing 80 lbs, but now I'm freaking out. I mentally decided not to go to the gym today, which would have started the whole "lazy routine." I must have gotten a poke from an invisible guardian angel because somehow I ended up at the gym. But I'm sitting here thinking of cinnamon and butter, ignoring my cottage cheese and walnuts.

This is really, really hard. Nobody said it would be easy, but can't we just have a break? Girl, I'm with you. Pick up the phone and call a bandster. Sometimes it helps just to vent.

Big Paul......whoa What Awackin~ Thank You....thats It...my Butt Is On The Gazelle Tonight For At Least 40 Minutes!!!! I Officially Turn My Whip Over To You For Now...........ill Share.........i Think............for Now............just Lemme Touch It One More Time............okay, Its Yours,,,waaaaiiiitttt

Well I'm back on the losing track for the moment and I PLAN TO KEEP IT THAT WAY!!!! After all I gotta bandiversary coming up and a goal to get to!!!! No stoping me now!!!:clap2:

OMG, Doll,

I am not sure giving Paul a WHIP is such a good idea. He's trouble enough unarmed... Geez! What are you trying to do to us?

The thought of Paul with a Whip - and YOU at the other end...

I may have to drag DH into the bedroom!! I'm not sure that my incisions can take that, yet...

:couch2:

It's good to see you guys back on track, with exercise! Exercise is a great way to keep the weight off but when it over take's you and then become's a JOB! its time to CHANGE UP YOUR ROUTINE try some thing else maybe just walking with your head phones on what ever it takes to keep you moving! and if your really fried from over exercising just talk a few days off and Eat lite, then get back into the grove.

Good luck with your weight loss! Ive" fallen off my bike afew times but I always climb back on to fitness.JOHNQ
