Hello, I have been on this low carb diet, and going to the gym.. I have lost about 10 pounds. The problem is that now that everyone is telling me how great I look, I am not taking it as serious as I was in the beginning. Why am I always doing this. This yo-yo dieting is driving me crazy. I don't want to give up but I am hitting that wall. Any advice anyone
Thanks

I do the same thing....I lost 10 on WW once and I was like yeah I can eat again....and gained it all back. But you have to realize that you need to make life changes. That is the way I had to see it. Don't put so much pressure on your self either.

First of all, allow yourself to enjoy the compliments. They are gifts, so enjoy them. Then find a eating program, not a diet. I am on a program that teaches me to eat right and it helps to slim down. I am doing Nutripoints and I am having a blast with it.

I wish there was an easy way but when you hit that weight when you begin to accept yourself. Its kinda like well im there do i need to take this farther? This is my third trip down from there so cant say i can help but i know where you are coming from. Just gotta try to remember it isnt a diet, but a new way of life.

It is not a diet it is a life change. You can enjoy special treats that you love but you will always have to watch your eating habits, and exercise. If you want extra cookie think of how much more exercise you will have to do. Change your work out every few weeks. Don't let it get boring. Walk for few weeks, then bike. Train for a 5k race or walk for a cure or things like that. It helps me to know I will have to race with someone in a few months. I don't need to be first just finish. I always hope not last but if last then at least finish the race.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
