Haven't seen you on the "Wednesday Weigh In" thread.
Just wanted to check in and make sure you are ok.
Never give up on you.
I watched this video and I thought "If he can keep trying, I can keep trying"

I went off track for several months, Been extremely stressed out from school, and other personal issues. unfortunately I have a bad habit of eating more when I'm stressed or upset and I regained about 15 lbs. Back up to 298 , but ready to start losing again. Look forward to using this sight on a regular basis again, it really is a great motivator.

Hi and thanks for your message. Don't beat yourself up, it doesn't do any good. I suggest you read "The Spark". I got a copy at a used book store. All of the information in the book is on this site as well but in book form it's a little easier to read, not as overwhelming and you can highlight the things you want to come back to.

I followed "the spark" stages. It was a slow beginning because the first week I only made three small changes and didn't even count calories. I was mindful of what I ate and kept a log but that was not my main focus. As the stages went from week to week I then built on my goals, eating, and exercise. Again it was slow but very effective! In the past I tended to have the all or nothing mentality and over and over again it worked for awhile and then I got tired and let it all fall apart. This is different.

I made a list of why I wanted to lose weight... listing every single reason, not just for good health. I wrote down everything that I hate about being fat and some of it was embarrassing. I look at that list daily, it's 2 full pages, it motivates me every day! That is what I focus on, not what the scale says. I focus on what I'm doing to change that list.

Pick yourself up and dust your self off and tell yourself you're not a quitter over and over again if you have to. You can do this! Best Wishes!
