I agree about the support online. I have never really had the support I need to lose weight from my family. I grew up with my mom saying that "fat is ugly" and she would kill herself if she ever got as fat as my sister or me, though she has a pouchy stomach and doesn't complain. My husband always says that I will never stick to it. I was down from 175 to 155 when I met him 10 years ago, and negativity has never helped, and I gained weight and stopped my dieting.
I searched online forums for support this time because I knew that I would not get it at home and this would help keep me motivated. I haven't told him that I am doing this, because I want to prove that I can. I did tell him that I wanted to start exercising and eating better. He did offer to walk with me last night, but was so engulfed in his beef fried rice that he told me to go alone, which a neighbor went with me. Another note, thank goodness I don't like chinese... LOL think of his sodium levels today because of all of that. He ate a HUGE plate full last night. I was about to get sick watching him. I had my little Subway sandwich and felt much better.

No need to beat yourself up - you've accomplished so much already!
Arg, work candy, the bane of every dieter! I had to stop myself from eating chocolate at work. Whenever I craved a piece, I would allow myself something healthier from my drawer: almonds, an apple, or raisins.
Are you able to take walks during your lunch breaks? walking around during lunchtime has helped me not to feel so guilty on days when I'm too tired to go to the gym after work.
Good luck reaching your GW!

"Thar we blow"!! I'm with you, I feel your fury. The one thing I am giving my all and I'm seeing no improvement. My husband is treating this whole venture as a joke...If I didn't get support on-line I would be hard pressed to continue. But there ARE people here who will see both of us through this time. Just reading your posting reminded me I'm not alone in good times or bad. Join me in a deep breath. I'm going to meditate- do whatever destresses you.
This too shall pass.

You have done so well that a little set back is not the end of the world.
You can do it again and start fresh. Everyday is a new day and a fresh start to your life changing journey.
Good luck and keep it up.

I'm not really that new to Sparkpeople, but usually I don't have the time to post. But this week has been particularly bad for me and I need the support.
Although i've been keeping in or around my calorie limit, my choices haven't been so good. and it showed on my weigh in - up 2 lbs.
today i already had several pieces of ghirardelli chocolates that some co-workers brought back from San Fran.
Ugh.
and i haven't exercised as much as I need/want to this past week either. it's like i KNOW what i need to do, but just can't muster up the will or strength to do it this week. I was on such a roll too.
it's very disappointing, but I don't want to get into that downward spiral (or upward depending on how you think of it).
I haven't put up my goal pics around my desk at work yet. perhaps that will help me stop and think before consuming junk.
i have to get back to work b4 i get in trouble. thanks for letting me vent and be accountable openly for my challenges.
