Subject: Does anyone else have a problem with discipline after a long cheat?

Does anyone else have a problem getting re-started after a long cheat (like a week or two)? I've re-started and re-worked my plan, but I'm having a really tough time finding the discipline it takes to stick to it like I did when I was really into it.

It's not so much a matter of weight (well ok, it is), but it's also that I feel so out of control when I'm not disciplined. I've managed to cheat in some little way every single day since I've re-started. Not a lot of cheating or big-way cheating, just little cheats here and there -- oh and the mexican dinner my beau brought me also. How can I find the resolve to get back to plan?? Any suggestions??

Hi Kel, I've been through this several times over the years! It might help reviewing "Your Reasons Why you Want to lose Weight" Hold that picture in your mind and that triggers me. That swimsuit, your uniform fitting better etc.. personalize it! I hope this helps. (NT) -- Sarah, 07:24:41 05/20/02 Mon

I've been having the same problem. What finally worked for me was to remember all of the things that were hard/impossible for me to do when I was heavier. This helped me to remember why I was so committed to this WOL in the first place. Also looking at how far I've come (even with setbacks and weight gain), you've done really well and you KNOW that you can do the rest. (NT) -- Katie, 08:34:48 05/20/02 Mon
