Anyone else struggling?

Yes, Im grumbling and Im whining...so if you dont want to hear about it...then Im not talking to you. (You guys know who Im speaking to)

Anyhow, I need your support guys. Im so sick of starting over right now. How long will it take before I get it together and reach goal? I was as close as 14 pounds from goal at one point and now Im 34 pounds away. I know that only I can control what I do but Im just sick of thinking about it. It felt good to be on plan last week but I still was sick of thinking about it. Im just feeling very lazy and unmotivated right now. Just when I think I have a grip on it then I screw it up and lose control. And what is my main motivation right now??? I only have one pair of jeans I can fit in. And now that Im not smoking? Watching TV or being at the computer is a real struggle...I have gone from being a smoker and eating reasonable snacks at nighttime to being a nonsmoker and damn near a binger at nighttime.

So does anyone need a teammate? Anyone need a board buddy to lean on for support? I need one. I dont want to do it through email because its too easy to avoid that or make excuses. Starting tomorrow Im gonna post my daily journals here. I was posting them on another support board but I dont feel any accountability there...so Im gonna do both boards. Im gonna post my thoughts, struggles, everything....So if anyone wants to join me, feel free.

I would love to have others help me along and join me :) And if you guys dont see me post tomorrow, then please kick my butt and find out why! I need some accountability to someone else besides myself right now. I know that I can get it together long enough to reach goal...but I have to find that motivation first.

aloha... struggle, struggle...

Thanks for your post... I've been lurking for a while but your post was inspiring. I am kristrin... I haven't posted since before summer as I was moving half way around the world. Then it took a while to find out what to do next. I was doing really well with focusing on weight loss, but then things got sidelined, and finally I am settled, and starting to make mini efforts again. So, count me in.

Morning Shawna! Well I have already screwed up and it's only 0812am. My husband left us donuts on his way out of town. I ate a glazed fluff filled bismark. They are heaven. I couldn't resist. Here's to a better day for all of us. Cheers! Hugs, Brenda

Good morning Kristrin and Brenda! We are glad to have you with us Kristin...Im gonna go make our daily journal post in just a sec. So feel free to add to it what you think you are comfortable with.

Brenda...those donuts...oh boy. So just put it in the journal and let it serve as a reminder that you have to be good and make better choices the rest of the day. So far so good for me....Im gonna take the dog(s) walking when I drop Ike off at school. Look for the post for today!
