I've been at this just over a year now. Last June I was very sick and over wieght, since then I have shed 50 lbs on the scale and probably put on 15 or 20 lbs of muscle. I'm obsessed; Gym twice a day, running, kickboxing, pilates, yoga etc... All I watch is bodybuilding, nutrition, Martial Arts and workout DVD's, it's my whole excistance. For me this has been the only thing that has kept me focused on the goal. Anyway, the past few days have been very strange mentally, my focus is scattered and all I want to do is EAT! and I'm not talking broccoli and chicken. :( :( :( Pizza! And lots of it...

Am I alone?
 
I started on October and did really well but lately i've been eating a lot too :( I think since it's summer, school doesn't get in the way. since i was at school i had no tiem to think about sweets
 
for me ... when summer rolls around ... i really get into party mode..
i still eat good ... but theres times when i'll lose it .. more on purpose though.

I decide to let go ... because to me .. the fun is worth it, and because summer only lasts about 2 months.
 
2 mos is a long time to let lose...i could see a dinner out, a party, maybe even a weekend, but a whole sumer?

My fitness anniversary isn't until late september, but after i lost the weight i allowed myself certain leniencies...course i don't have a goal of 6 pack abs...
 
The only time I let lose is when I am with friends, or on a trip with the family. Other than that...I try to eat as well as I can.

However I do find myself stealing cookies and brownies every now and then :p
 
I just started on a really strict diet.....I'm 130 lbs...and trying to get my body fat % down! I want abs!

My weakness is popcorn, cheese, and oreos...hehehe I got rid of anything bad in my cabinets... or gave it to my roomies.. I still have cravings for all my faveorites though. Friends tell me I should have a cheat day....once a week....but I just think that it will set me back...Because I don't think I could have just a little bit. They say abs are made in the KITCHEN. grrrr I really miss the good food!
 
might be time for a break. i'm on one right now. july 23rd to july 29th then crank it back up for august and september before i take another break and get ready for the fall and winter months training.
 
I'm at one of those points now, I'm depressed, blowing off workouts, not sleeping well, getting cravings, you name it. I am hanging in there though. Attempting to pull my head out of my ass and get back in the game.
 
Thanks for all the response. I'm back on track and feeling good. I spoke with my trainer today about it and he said to just focus on training hard and not the results. I wish you guys could have been there because the way he put it was perfect and it really helped me. I sometimes get really cought up in the results. Anyway, thanks for the responses.
