PLEASE help me get back into the right frame of mind

[Peanuts33]

I've lost five stone since January. The motivation I had was that I was going on a beach holiday and didn't want to feel miserable and not enjoy the holiday.

I've been back about six weeks and since then I've put nearly a stone back on.

I'm so annoyed with myself cos it feels like I'm just wasting everything I've done since January and I can just feel it creeping back up again but I can't get my mind into that determined place again. I haven't got anything to aim for apart from another holiday and a couple of weddings next August but at the moment I'm telling myself that I've got plenty of time but by then I don't want to have put on three or four stone again.

Hi Peanuts, you've done brilliantly, I lost 22lb from January to July (slowly but surely), but since the school holidays I've gained the best part of a stone, trying to get back into it.

Have you gone back to snacking/large portions - that was my downfall.

You are welcome to join us on the 2010 Weight Loss Club thread. We talk about losing the weight in small steps, and help each other keep motivated!

Maybe you need to see it not in terms of aiming to lose weight for special events but for your own everyday satisfaction.
I have lost a bit of weight lately and have been and bought sme new clothes. I won't be able to get into them if I put it all back on and that is quite motivating!

Yes I have gone back to snacking. Feels like I am on one big binge at the moment.

Yes you are right Katisha. I do need to think more long term and do it for health reasons. Oh, it's so blinking hard.
