dude...dude... it's ok. so you slipped up a little. that doesn't mean it's the end. maybe you just gotta pack some lunches ... keep snacks in your purse.. but there is no need for beating yourself down. so make a menu ...have ideas for snacks.... make a grocery list. .... organize your meals and cook some in advance. get your snacks ready and get a good lunch bag that you can bring it to school.... all you need to do is plan ahead a little.... you're beautiful already! other things that might help.... get some fancy.... undergarments lol... a new shirt...dye your hair.. get a new lipstick. .. and enjoy who you are now. just cause you have some pounds to lose dosent mean you can't feel good today. ... you are awesome already!!

Ouch...na, go google and YouTube intermittent fasting... research it. Sounds like you're not getting satisfied on the your Calorie intake for the day. Just do some research and check out macros too. the stuff works. keep on keepin on Diea! you've come along way! maybe it's time to readjust your macros. My 2 cents ,I'll spend it how I please ;D

Don't be so hard on yourself, Diea. To be honest, you have achieved a great feat already by losing so much and keeping steadfast on it for all this time. A slip once in a while or two is acceptable. What matters is that you are aware of those slips and hence you will definitely take the necessary action on it once you are healthy again. So give yourself some slack :)

pack some snacks and maybe take a different route home? Sometimes the long way around is the most successful. ALSO, school is brutal on diets. They don't call it the Freshman Fifteen for nothing. Lots of brainy stuff going on which consumes a lot of energy, but not a lot of muscle use. Plus your sick!! Perfect storm it sounds like. Don't gauge your success by this one, tiny moment in life. You've lost twice as much weight as I have and I'm so impressed with your ability to stick with this for so long. You're doing great, despite the current obstacles. chin up, my friend, better days are ahead.

I feel ya on that. I have night classes too and it's 3 hours long (boredom will make you think about food), but I still manage to drink water when there are soda machines all across campus or junk food vending machines. Also, even though the gym is right across the street from my class building, I haven't set foot in it since the New Years started. Luckily I never sleep and have some dumbells and between-door frame pull-up bars I can use until then.

It's amazing/scary/horrifying how fast old habits/old ways of thinking can come back. Even after over a year of creating new habits I have to be careful. Sometimes I feel like the "old" me is lurking right next to me waiting to pounce on a weak moment. Good for you for recognizing the problem, venting about it, and looking for an answer! Feel better soon!

How can I do the LCHF Diet? Is Atkins a foot in the right direction?

dietdoctor.com has excellent info on LCHF and ketogenic diet. I am in school too. I find having snacks stashed in the car and my bag help. I typically have jerky at all times. Measured amounts of walnuts in my purse. String cheese works well. I refuse to let old habits sneak back in. I have come too far to give up now.

I second RkTkFx's advice to try a different route home if you can. Using the transition back from being sick to make a break from actions you've already identified as wanting to change can make the timing easier. Any healty options you can grab on campus before you head home? Or a Trader Joe's on the way for picking something up to save time without resorting to fast food? You've already come so far and are an inspiration. Stay strong.

Don't be so hard on yourself. The wonderful thing about life is that you get to try again, even when you feel that you've failed miserably. So tonight, make a few healthy snacks in advance, carrots or celery and hummus, or a piece of fruit. Maybe a boiled egg. Take it with you so that you have something healthy to eat during your drive. I've taken to making my lunch or snacks most days and find that it helps keep me on track. and when I fall off the wagon, and I do...I get back on it more easily because I know that I can start over as many times as I need. Forgive yourself:-)

Omg. Your comments really hit me... in a good way. Thank you. I love all of the tips, especially taking the longer ride home to avoid fast foods and putting snack in my car for when I finish a long day at school. I like the rest of them too! I'm so grateful for FS for providing this outlet. This was some serious venting I needed to do to try to get out of this cycle. It feels good to release and learn from you all. You guys are amazing for supporting and affirming and being willing to share your tricks. I'm seriously lucky for being able to share this journey here. It has been a long one, and there are so many ups and downs, and the downs can be killer like this one. Thank you, FS friends!

I really can relate. Weekends are really bad for me. I always make excuses to eat with my family. I need to stop this nonsense and eat to save my life.
