The Voices In My Head - How I Hate Them

[InItToWinIt]

Scared yet by my post title?

I hope not -- because I'm ready to fill you in on my weight-loss progress, and I need some assistance.

I am 24 years old, female, and currently weighing in at 274 pounds.

At the start of May, my weight was over 300 pounds -- and I made the drastic decision to stop making excuses, and start living the life I truly wanted.

The first couple of months have been great (hence the drop in pounds), and I am really proud of myself. However, the past couple of weeks, those dang thoughts in my head have caused me to lose motivation, and I don't know why.

My BIG problem comes in with food. I have been sticking to a doctor-recommended food plan, and it's been working - but then those days come where I cave, and have a bad food item, like pizza. And those stupid thoughts then come into play and I think "Well, I've already ruined it for the day" ... and I literally eat anything and everything I want. And it's mostly bad.

And unfortunately, these bad days have been happening frequently.

I don't want to get off track - so I'm looking for support, and any ideas to get me back on track.

Please, anything! And thanks in advance for your kind support!

I have struggled with this mindset as well. I think the important thing to remember is that is DOES matter what you do, even if a day has not been filled with ideal choices. Don't worry about "perfect days", worry about minimizing damage to your longterm goals, and remember that every moment is a chance to turn it all around. I really hope this helps!
