Help getting back on plan after a 4 day weekend of glutteny

[WittyAndCleverUsername]

I started SW online in early Feb and had been doing so well with good losses every week. I've lost 1st 8lbs and was so happy. Until last week, I put on 1lb and I have no idea why, I had been really good that week and stuck to plan.

That 1lb gain has set me off on a complete 'fuck it' mentality and since Friday I have done nothing but gorge myself on chocolate, cake, curry, wine and god knows what else. I can't seem to stop.

I need help before I undo all of my good work.

Can anyone give me advice on how they have picked themselves up and jumped back on the SW wagon?

I want to lose weight before TTC and when I started and was doing well, that was all the motivation I needed but now I can see myself spiraling out of control.

Any motiviational tips?

This could be me! Just the same. It's like we all know what to do but something wants to sabotage it sometimes. All I can say is 'draw a line' under the last four days. You know the plan works for you. A pound gain is miniscule against what you have lost already. You can turn this around and sail towards smaller jeans!! You don't need to go back to your old weight and your old feelings, however comfortable they were. It might be scary to be thinner as it is a different way of relating to the world. But it might be the start of a great new chapter x

Thank you FatMumSlim - you are right, I just need to snap out of it. I was so happy that the weight was coming off so I will try and focus on that happy feeling rather than the miserable feeling of a gain and the guilt of stuffing my face!

Hope you are doing well on your plan x

Its not a sw wagon, its an eating plan for life. Take little steps. There's too much emphasis on loosing fast. Make small changes, like no wine mon-thurs,no syns till you had 2 fruit or some veg.
You need to slow down take a step back as life will happen, some days you put on weight. You didn't get big overnight so you won't get slim over night. Give yourself a break.
Go back to the beginning, be a new member look over your diaries If you've got them and you'll be fine.

You sound like me too. I'm sure I've put on this week and I really don't know why. I've exercised eaten to plan most of the week (probably went over slightly at the weekend). I've eaten a lot more and lost so don't really know what's gone wrong. I drank more water and exercised a bit more than usual, can that cause a gain? The fuck it mentality is something I can definitely relate to, crisps and chocolate here I come!

I've been losing about 2 pounds a week since mid January, so that is good as I thought I would never be able to lose weight. Still got over a stone to go. I'm not sure if to continue going to group or not though as it is very competitive with the 'Slimmer of the Week' vibe...

Thank you Annie, Jam and FatMum, really appreciate your responses.

Annie you are right it's not an instant fix, I've just had a little wobble and I need to take a good look at my eating habits that cause me to gorge. I do have my food diaries, i keep one every day and I went through them last week and picked out some of the best weeks.

I think I also got myself stuck in a bit of a rut, the last 3 weeks of my food diary were virtually the same so I've had a scan through the web and have printed off loads of new SW friendly recipes to try in an attempt to keep myself motivated.

*I meant I went through my food diary last NIGHT not week.
