Dont stop if you have a bad day!!!

[TRIVENAM]

hey all,im just thinking about all the diets i have done since i was 20,lipotrim-3st,calorie counting-8lb,unislim-10lb,slimfast-?,slimming world-11lb,weight watchers-5lb,atkins-2st,high protein-2st,cambridge diet-13lb and so on!! oh my good god,im looking at this and its so freckin scary!!! how can someone put their body through so much *****! excuse the pun...
well because of all this im now trying to get my body to recover because of serious health complications! all in all i lost over 10stone and have kept nothing off! what a failure well they say that you havent failed if you keep trying so thats what i will be doing,if i have a bad day im sweeping it under the mat for once in my life and getting on with it! countless times ive joined all the diet forums on minimins and just disappeared after a week or watever cause i didnt stick it out,but lets motivate each other thru the good and bad days i hope by reading this everyone else will do the same! we are torturing our bodys going from one extreme to another,i wont be doing that again! Calorie control and some exercise will work so lets keep at it!

Can relate, im 25 and tried most of the same diets as you in that list. Ive probably lost and gained the same 6 stone for the past 5 years or so.

I've also come to the realisation that im not perfect, i just need to stick to a plan through the good and bad. Im not 100% with SF but its enough to work for me. So im also now in for the long haul.

We will get there!!

Yeah, tell me about it! I have regained about 2 stone of 3 I lost on a VLCD through careless eating and lack of exercise but I'm hoping to go via the steady & consistent route through calorie control and exercise now.
We can do it!

Trivenam,

Well done on keeping up the morale - it's so easy just to throw it all away if you've had a blow-out, but you're doing exactly the right thing. You'll definitely get there!

It's all about choices. Sometimes we make bad choices, sometimes good ones. And I guess we have to learn to make the right choice more often. But that doesn't mean we can't occasionally make (and enjoy!) the bad choices!
