Hi everyone:

I feel so defeated and upset with myself !!! A few days ago, I went off MF and I can not get started again. At one time, I thought "Good Grief" your almost 60 and this is ridiculous...just eat!!!! I am so tired of feeling guilty, but I am having a horrible time trying to get back on it. I don't have a good selection of MF food, and at this point, I'm not in the frame of mind to order any. I won't run out if I order soon, but I just can't get into it again. What am I going to do? I'm so frustrated. This Sunday, I'm giving a baby shower for my great niece and I'm thinking well maybe, I'll start Monday but in the past, I had the right frame of mind and wouldn't have caved with the thought of "a gathering of people and food." Now, I'm using it for an excuse for another weekend of eating.

I feel out of control and I don't know how to get back in the right frame of mind. Thanks for listening.

Sorry, I wasn't logged in for the previous message...

Hey there Evie - I'm so sorry to hear your struggling, I know how you feel. I would just encourage you to remember why you started MF in the first place, look at the weight loss you've had so far and know that you can do it. I am struggling today with wanting to "fall off the wagon" - I'm telling myself it would only be one day and tomorrow would be different but I also know in my mind tomorrow wouldn't be different. Place that order, start immediately, no need to wait till a Monday rolls around. I'll be praying for you - "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me..."

hi evie
i know dieting can be difficult. you've gotten off to a great start. you vered off the path and now it's time to regroup. i've felt like this before and the longer i put it off, the more weight i regained and it started to depress me. think about how bad you would feel if you got on the scale and relized all the weigh was back. then realize how good you'd feel when you got on the scale and were getting closer to your goal weight loss. food is just a temporary solution. we usually eat based upon our feelings. i hope you can get back to that feeling you had when you were encouraged to diet. we'll be here to keep encouraging you also.

p.s. i hope i'm not sounding like a shrink

Hi everyone:

Thank you Dee, Sheila, Martha for your support. I really do appreciate it. I will place a MF order today and I do have enough food to last til the order gets here. It's not my fave MF food, but it will do til the yummy food arrives.

I was really really leary to get on that ole' scale this morning, but I stayed the same weight. So....Thank God for helping me make the right decesion and I'm staying on this. I've come to far to go back now.

Thanks again for being there when I needed guidance. This is the best site. You are all wonderful and Martha, I am so happy you and Doug are safe and your back on the forum. I really missed you.

Dear Want to Be Healthy ~

It does seem like there are times in our lives that we experience emotional hurricanes – they blow through our lives with minimal warnings and if we are not prepared for them, they can toss us about and leave us feeling like we are wrecked but! We are not totaled!

Determine your meal plan the night before, put all the packets for the day in a zip lock baggy. Set a timer for your meals and eat them all, on time. It will keep your blood sugar level even and will help to eliminate cravings. Drink your water.

If it does not come in a packet, inside your Daily Zippy Bag, DO NOT EAT IT!

Check in with your Health Advisor daily for a few days/weeks until you are under control.

One non-program meal can add up to three days of hunger, cravings and get you behind in reaching your goal.

You can do anything for three hours - then do it again for three hours and then again - before you know it, the day will be done, the scales will be down, your jean size will be smaller and your sense of accomplishment and pride will be HUMONGOUS!
