Hi, i am sorry to hear that your having a bad time..i am the same even when i am at my lowest i seem to feel as though i have to act cheerful. Just remember that your a very motivating person, always making people feel welcome and cheering them on. You are a great CL. And don't feel bad about venting you listen to everyone else doing it why shouldn't we listen to you?! I hope you have a better day tomorrow! If not vent away...lol

I'm sorry Rely. You're an awesome CL!!

I always have a hard time exercising and eating properly at times. Right now I'm having a hard time dealing with stress, being locked up in a coffee shop (with goodies all around me) and not being able to do anything aerobic wise at work. I'm exercising but I'm not eating 100% proper like I should be.

I hear you!! I understand what you're going through!! The only way to get over it is to talk to us about it...we're here for you!! Don't forget.

Rely, it's me, Stephanie, your fellow Atkid. I know exactly how you feel. I think we drop some weight then get scared we might fail again. So we cheat. I had a really hard time getting back on since Christmas. Now I am doing ok. You just have to get past more than a few days. You know, enough for those cravings to go away. I think I finally made it. I know you can too. Hang in there, Stephanie 280/230/170 Atkid since 6/15/2003

Don't worry about posting about feeling down or venting...that is what we are all here for! Here's a big (((HUG))) for you!

Actually, I have been feeling exactly the same way. After being sick for 3 weeks, then my DS's surgery and MIL being here...it has been 5 loooong weeks of not really caring or having enough energy or motivation to care. Finally my life is back to some semblance of normal and I just can't get my motivation back. Somehow I've managed not to gain any weight back, but I haven't lost any in almost 2 months. I've totally slipped back into my self sabotaging thoughts and patterns and I don't really know why...I want to do better, I know I can do better, but I'm just not doing it.

So, if I kick your arse will you kick mine too? LOL!

I hate when that happens! Whenever that happens to me, I have such a hard time getting back on track. I hope you can get back on track soon. Just think about how far you've come! We're here for you if you need to vent.

In lieu of a swift kick in the arse...lol...just know that I've been there too. Not just with my WOE/weight loss but in lots of other things in life. I tend to wait for the other shoe to drop...I freak myself out when I have too much success with something. The "too good to be true" syndrome. And I haven't been to the point of "I don't care" quite yet with this WOE but I have been there before I started it...so you know you're perfectly normal!! Everyone goes through it sometime!

Rely...you *have* to do this! I won't let you get out of this! lol. You are my Atkins buddy and I need you for support as much as you need me! ;o) So no quitting!

Now look at your mini goals...set them in smaller increments if you have to (mine are in like 2 pounds increments). Give yourself a reason to want it...maybe a new pair of shoes if you stick to the plan with no cheats for 2 weeks. Or no sex until you've stuck to plan for a week...rofl...then you *and* your BF will be motivated for you to stay on track! lololol

Oh and, this might sound stupid and you might feel weird doing it at first but start telling yourself you're beautiful and that you are successful even if you don't believe it. The only way to break through the negative talk in your head is to replace it with positive talk. I am starting to believe myself (and my husband) slowly but surely. You are one of the best Cl's I've ever "known"...and you have patience like no other!

Swiftly kicking in your general direction...rofl

Big hugs...stick with it!
