I know how your feeling right now
its hard to do this and to be quite frank yea it sucks
but maybe you should stop looking at the numbers on your scale right now and look at your lifestyle and work on that 1st
your quitting smoking and thats great thats another step towards becoming healthy

Hey Shawna.

First, the big hug, because this is SO HARD and we know how you feel.

I have also lost and regained 28 pounds before. I agree it is scary, but I have been able to lose almost all of it again. It is completely possible for you to do it again. You need to remember this.

Try to REALLY FOCUS on the fact that this is a NEW YEAR. This means you have a NEW BEGINNING and you need to forgive yourself from the struggles of last year, and start again new, to be a new person.

Just don't get overwhelmed. Have one good healthy day, and soon they will add up and you will feel better and on top of things again.

I'm rooting for you!

((HUGS)) to you Shawna, cuz you do deserve it!! Don't beat yourself up, this journey we are on is hard, and some times are harder than others. So you messed up, a lot more than you planned...we're human, we're not perfect, you were successful in the past you will be again, you just have to find your way again. You have done some incredible things depsite your backsliding, you DID lose a lot of weight, and you quit smoking. Those are amazing accomplishments and did wonders for your health, don't discount that.

I've actually scared myself a bit too the past couple weeks. I said I was going to take a break to stop obsessing so much but not to use it as an excuse to go all out with my eating. Well I failed totally at that. I've eaten like complete crap and hardly thought twice about it. I've now gained back 11 lbs which isn't a whole lot but waaaay more than I ever intended to. I've also been feeling more and more like crap, even woke up twice in the middle of the night feeling so sick I thought I would throw up. I had my fun, but now it needs to stop. I can't believe I used to eat like that all the time, I can't take it anymore. I don't know that it will be enough motivation to get me totally back on track but its enough to know my body can tell the difference and doesn't like it.

So you see, you're not the only one. Tommorow is a new day, its a new year, a new beginning. We will both find it within ourselves to pull us up out of whatever funk we are in and become losers again!

Hi Shawna,
I am right there with you. I have gained back 25 pounds that I fought so hard to lose. It sounds to me like you have already given yourself the swift kick in the butt. Go throw everything bad out of the house and start over. If you did it before you can do it again. This is the perfect time of year to start over. If you start now you will be looking beautiful by this summer.I read something in the paper last night that said half the battle of losing weight is in your head. Tell yourself you will lose the weight. You will eat healthy. You are beautiful and You weigh 200 pounds.(Think small steps. If you think about your dream weight it will be overwhelming.) I really put alot into the power of positive thinking.

You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You are beautiful. You are beautiful. You can do it.

First a hug, now a kick!

Ok. Come on Shawna! You and I are doing BAD! We must stop! We will start exercising and watching what we eat! right?

I started already this week with the exercise. I feel my abs burning and I know I'm doing good. I still got to get a grip on my appetite though. Hard for me to do. It always has been. I guess I'll have to employ my distraction techniques--instead of boredom eating, get up and do something.

I'm with ya honey!
hugs,
Deb
