How do you keep going after a disappointing week?

I don't mean a week when you gave fallen off the bandwagon, I mean a week when you have stuck rigidly to your eating and exercise regime, and still only a tiny loss. How do you keep going, given that all your efforts seem to have come to nothing?

I think the eating plan has to be sustainable, so you should allow yourself toast every now and then, just not three times a day!! (In my case). I got down to target last year by skipping meals, effective but directly I got to target I started eating normally again and put weight back on. So I'm going to try really hard this time not to do that.

I'm going to continue, but god, it is demotivating, isn't it? Yes, all that is stopping me attacking a piece of toast is the thought of the losses I have managed going back on again, and all the effort being in vain... Grr.

Well I just wrote a similar post where I have stuck 95% to Slimming World this week and my scales show another maintain. For me the answer is to keep going, as I know if I quit in going to go back to done crappy eating habits and put the 5lb I lost back on again.

I think you have to treat it like a long and twisty road, you just got to keep ploughing on!
