Diets & Weight Maintenance Support Group
Chat about how well your latest diet is -- or is not -- working. This group is a great place to find support and accountability as well as share success stories and valuable lessons with the community. From where to start to weekly weigh-ins, get help from others to reach your dieting and weight maintenance goals.
Hey all - I've been so out of touch on here - and I see so many new faces now. First let me say that I hope you all are finding what you need here!!!
Personally, I am struggling. I was doing really, really well for a long time and then "life" happened and my motivation kicked the bucket - and now I'm stuck. I'm still under 180 and that makes me happy because I've been doing absolutely nothing to lose more weight. I am active, but haven't been exercising. I have been eating a lot of healthy food - but also a lot of crap food. So I'm at a standstill here and really need someone to push me over the edge.
I've been trying on my own to find my motivation again, and it's not working. I realize now just how much the support from everyone here means and how priceless it is.
I'm looking for some inspiration -

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
I have written this before on another post,
but I think it would be really useful for you,
imagine a picture of yourself at the weight you would like to be
then imagine yourself going about your day as this new happy healthy you, think about how you move and feel. see how easy it is to do the things that you couldn't do before
imagine yourself at an event where you are surrounded by friends and family, imagine their voices telling you how brilliant you look and how well you have done
whenever you get down, keep pictureing those images and remember that dieting is not just a pointless excersise that you have to do, you are doing it to achieve that image.
every time you make a healthy choice over a unhealthy one you are one step closer that picture you are creating in your mind!
good luck
