don't give up 

Chin up, just look forward. Rome wasn't built in a day  

Don't give up. Weight loss takes time and dedication. You need to bother for your own health. Keep going because there will be good days and bad days, but never give up. 

I have realized that I was losing slowly but surely when I ate salads for lunch every day (regardless of what I ate for breakfast and dinner as long as I stayed within my allowed calories). Now in the colder weather even though I keep my calorie consumption lower than I did then I just seem to be picking up. And the thing that gets me the most is that this is weight I already lost and picked back up again and because of my ulcer I can't go on the diet that helped me lose it in the first place :-( 

Everyday that you stick to it is a win. You learn more about yourself and your body becomes stronger. It’s not all for nothing. Keep going 

Don't give up. Try eat no carbs with lots of water.  

I noticed that you don't track on weekends. Your problem may lie there. And please watch your carb intake. Inbox me anytime for advice. You are winning, you just need the cheerleaders! 

@ThreeOh8 I actually start off counting over weekends then life happens, I feel ashamed(?) and delete the whole lot :-( I'm home this weekend so keeping track and not eating junk will be so much easier and I'm planning on cooking up a big pot of soup for emergency lunches so I don't end up taking a sandwich because I know I'm supposed to avoid the carbs. We try and try and try again! 

Life happens. That’s the best way to put it. Took me a long time to let Life not happen too often, insofar I am able to. Stick to it! You can do this. Good luck! 

Haha, I will try my best to not let life happen too often ;-) That is after all why I am in this mess in the first place!
