Hello, this is my first post. I am 26 years old and I weigh 169 lbs. 3 years ago, after having my first child, I reached an all time high of 235 lbs. With the help of weight watchers, I lost down to 153. Over the last two years I have gone up and down. This last August, I weighed 191. I had no idea that I had gained that much weight! So from August until the end of October, I started eating healthy and excercising. I was able to stick with healthy eating until Halloween and I even got down to 166. At Halloween somehow I gave up eating healthy. I stopped stepping on the scale and I ate fast food every day. By December 13th, I had gained almost 10 lbs back in six weeks. December 13th, I realized how crazy my eating patterns where and I decided that I have to start eating healthy. It has been two weeks since starting over. I have lost 6 lbs so far. My goal weight is 144. By my calculations, if I lose an average of 2 lbs per week, I should reach my goal weight by day 100. The problem is, how am I going to stay motivated until that long? I am one of those people who can eat healthy and excercise for a few weeks, but then for some reason I give up and I gain back everything that I just worked so hard to lose. I know how to excercise and eat healthy, but what I don't know is how I can maintain eating healthy and excercising long term? Any advice would be great!
