Honeymoon is over

I'm falling off the wagon. I've regained 8 lbs. The honeymoon is over. I'm burning out. I have definitely changed my eating habits. I'm sauteeing veggies all the time, eating brown rice, high-fiber cereal, fruit, my 1-point Alternative Bagels. But my portions are getting out of control again, I think. And I know I'm eating when I'm not hungry but because I'm stressed or bored or tired. Why do I do that?? Ugh. I'm going to stick with it though. Mom is in a slump too. We're not a good pair here lately. Wallowing in self pity. She retired last week so she has more time to exercise and I expect her to make a comeback here soon. One lady in the class told me she has gained back 10 lbs. She's lost 60 plus. She's still down 50-plus. You can't beat that. And I am still down 22 lbs. (was down 28 lbs. at my peak) so I'll celebrate that and work to maintain that. Actually, I'm pretty happy at 165. But to be a free lifetime no-fees paying member I need to get to 155. Seems so far to go. Enough of my violin-strumming whine fest. Thanks for indulging me.

Backsliding is a fact of life we all deal with in one way or another.  You will overcome, it's just a bump in the road.  Those last ten are always the hardest, best wishes!

When are people going to realize that living to 50 and eating whatever you want is way better than living to 102 with a diet consisting of artichokes and three pieces of lettuce?
