Question

Ugh - I've been such a HORROR since Christmas, not tracking and not going to meetings. I need to really focus and get back on track, but WHY is it so hard? I'm sick of the yo-yo that is created by none other than me. Sorry, I just had to vent. <3

Answer 1

This is me. I mindlessly eat crap and sweets like they are going away forever. I feel so disgusted and all the hard work is shot. I’ve gained back 30 pounds and now I’m down 5 I know it’s a slow process but I feel like a failure and that leads to more secretly eating candy and chips in bed ‍♀️. I wish I could get my mind to sync up and the overeater would listen to the practical side.  

Answer 2

I understand this. I had a lot of success with WW in 2011/2012 and stuck to it for a while then gained gained and it’s been a yo yo of dropping 30lbs and gaining 30lbs  gotta find that will power. The daily stresses are worse now than at that time too which doesn’t help at all.  

Answer 3

Food is an addiction.  

Answer 4

I basically took about 8 months last year and didn’t diet. After two years off yo yo dieting and still gaining 5 lbs each year I needed a break. So this year I’m starting fresh and trying to get in mind set that this will take a long time and mistakes will happen but I need to get right back on board.  

Answer 5

This is me too!  

Answer 6

You are not alone.  

Answer 7

I totally understand!  

Answer 8

Ladies, I have found it is a day by day by day adventure! If you get through Monday, look to Tuesday. If you slip on Wednesday, just go on to Thursday. And the weekends. I got nothing! That is my kryptonite!  

Answer 9

I'm the same way. I've given up.  

Comments

God no, don't give up!  

Answer 10

Omg you’re me and that was what I literally was just thinking before I saw your post! And the sad part is no one can do it for me . I’ve lost my edge a bit and have been a yo-yo with 5 pounds since beginning of @perviousecember. tired of it and really want a swift kick in the ass to get back on track too! Go to the meetings let’s break it down one step at a time !  

Answer 11

You’ve got lots of company.  

Answer 12

I did the same exact thing and I kept trying to get back on track and I would do good for a few days and then I’d start eating like crap again. Just start small even if it’s just a day or two just to get back into the swing of things. I can happily say that it is my first full week back on track it’s been hard but I am feeling like I am back into my routine again. I know you will get back at it just take it one day at a time!  

Answer 13

You can do it. I do believe you have to come to a place where you really want to. Hang in there. Give yourself grace.  

Answer 14

Aww @lachance. It’s VERY hard everyday. I gained 15 pounds from October all the way until @horrifyuary 1 . I didn’t track not one time and actually I really didn’t care but as I watched my numbers go up I showed up every Thursday for my meeting. I ate myself around the world until I was done. @perviouson’t feel disgusted which I know it’s hard but what I would say get back into your meetings at least because that’s where you will truly find support, compassion and love.  

Answer 15

Same here. I am usually very motivated and strict but for some reason I can’t get back on track 100%.  

Answer 16

Because your brain is telling you it’s hard. Start by going to a meeting, even if you don’t want to track then set a very small goal like I will walk in place for 5 seconds for ex

Answer 17

Vent all you want I’m right there with you! You can do it! What else do we have to do that’s more Important  

Answer 18

Set mini goals to hey yourself through today! It gets easier, as you know!  

Answer 19

My last comment was cut short. For exercise, this is such a small goal your brain will say this is so easy. Take any challenge and break it down to real small goals then reward yourself with non food things like watching a movie etc. you’ll be fine.  

Answer 20

Same here. I thought I would never get my momentum back. I started slowly, it took two weeks, but finally I am in motion again. Try not to bear yourself up. You care enough to post your concerns, so you have it in you to slowly start back. You've got this!  

Answer 21

Your me and I’m sorry but I’m stuck too. We need help or a kick in the butt.  

Answer 22

YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I am in the same boat here in Arlington, Va Nessa

Answer 23

Love ❤️ tracking and going to the meeting.  

Answer 24

Same girl. Same. I hate that I'm there only one to blame, but yet I do nothing to fix it. Ugh

Answer 25

I am feeling the same. I need to get back on track

Answer 26

I'm sitting on the same bench here with everyone. Wake up call prediabetic. Lost 30 lbs. last year and put it all back on since last fall. Going back on track as of this week. Good health and me year 2020. Going back to WW and walking. We've got this beat.  

Answer 27

Same for me!  

Answer 28

I hear you! Same with me. I need to start taking care of myself first! I have completely given up! I definitely need to get my butt back on track!  

Answer 29

Having the same problem!  

Answer 30

Thank you all for your wonderful comments and advice. I'm going to a WW meeting tomorrow with my friend, who likes going at 7:30 AM (God help me! ), but it's a start! <3

Answer 31

You’re not alone!  

Answer 32

My fiancé and I go to 11 am meeting.  

Comments

THAT is more reasonable! LOL!  

Answer 33

I'm not a WW fan. @perviousid the yo yo dieting for years and years. Concentrate on eating less and moving more. I finally learned my lesson. It is the first time in my life that I've lost 45 lbs and actually kept it off for 2 years

Comments

@underweight Henderson why are you in this group if you are not a fan of WW?  

---

@gupta I third it.  

---

@underweight Henderson wondering the same thing?  

---

@tangram I have no idea. It comes up on my news feed

---

Okay there folks don't know how I got into it. How do i get out. I'm not a believer. Pls don't trash me for my beliefs.  

---

Thank you. WW sets 90% up for failure. People always go back to what they crave. been there, done that and learned my lesson. just my opinion. hope you prove me wrong. so many on here are moaning and groaning about getting off track. good luck though. wish you success.  

---

@underweight Henderson wow you’re a glass is half full kinda person aren’t you. We’re not moaning and groaning we’re admitting a mess up and seeking support and ideas - your words are none of that. Good luck with whatever plan you choose to follow.  

Answer 34

I track and weigh myself regardless of whether I’m having a bad day or not, it keeps me focused and accountable to myself. It’s always good to know where we stand so that we can get back on track before things get too out of hand.  

Comments

I've returned to tracking, I agree with you.  

---

@lachance that’s good, don’t give up just put it behind you and move forward. Today is a new day.  

Answer 35

1 day at a time, just be determined ♥️

Answer 36

Same. My scale keeps increasing and I am tracking. but I guess bending too many rules. I exercise too but just disgusted by it all.  

Answer 37

Start eating gluten free. I guarantee you will lose weight and fast. sweets/sugar and white flour are killers.  

Answer 38

Start with short, easy goals and build from there. Get to a meeting; track for one day or even one meal. Plan lunches for a few days. You know how to do this!  

Comments

That's the frustrating part, I do know how, I've been lazy!  

Answer 39

It's always hard. Sometimes we just need a break. You'll begin again when you're ready. ⚘

Answer 40

I agree. I need to get on track Too.  

Comments

Answer 42

Comments

Answer 43

Same here.  

Answer 44

We have all been there at one time or another!  

Answer 45

I was the same after the holidays. I am finally back on track and working out.  

Answer 46

Not a fan of WW. Went for 2 yrs and lost 12 lbs. Bought this book and changed me forever. Have lost 47 lbs since Sept 1 of 2019

Answer 47

WW is a brand and if it doesn't work for you, change and change till you find something that will.  

Answer 48

What helps me on a derailment is I know if I can stay on track or close to it for 2 or 3 days I can reset. And I think how shitty I feel when I overdo it on sweets.  

Answer 49

I am the same way

Answer 50

Ok so another month has gone by. How much weight did you gain? I'm not asking you to post here but think about a one month gain times 12. Where will you be next year? You can do it. Just get back to meetings and tracking.  

Answer 51

Having the same problem since Christmas. I am still tracking. I am going to get back on track TO@perviousAY!  

Answer 52

Same with me! Am having a hard time but staying with it. One day at a time!  

Answer 53

Same with me. I’m a stress eater and life has been throwing curveballs at me recently. Feb 1 I’m back on track.  

Answer 54

Same here. It’s getting out of control. I need to refocus and get back on track! ASAP

Answer 55
