Hiya, I am a restarter and would say it is hard second time around... BUT maybe a couple of things that might help you?
Firstly I put all my weight back on too so I wrote down exactly how I felt about being that fat again.... I was really brutally honest with myself and got very personal with myself!! :ashamed0005:
I then wrote down REAL reasons for why I ate my way back to being fat again.... for me it was because I hadn't resolved my issues with food...
I then thought, hang on.... I know this works, I know I can keep it off... I had a look at some of the maintainers here... KD, Icemoose etc who have kept it off, and I stole something from them !!!
I stole the knowledge that not only do you need to lose the weight for yourself, but you need to maintain it for yourself too and that would mean life changes!
So I have developed a life plan... it extends upto 5 yrs, but has lots and lots of baby steps along the way....
Ultimately I decided that it wasnt just food that had made me fat, but my whole lifestyle and mentality!
I never ever want to be this fat again and now am prepared to do what it takes,,,,
So Sputnik it's hard to get back on the wagon because we see already that we have failed... and failure the first time somehow makes it easier to fail again!!
You KNOW you can do it! You already did!
You Know you can keep it off, you just need to work out where you go wrong...
Hope I'm not teaching you what you already know... just somethign I know, is that you will suceed if you really want to...
Good luck, get back on SS no excuses,,, do the pain! we know how hard those first few days are.. and think that by the end of summer you will be so much slimmer again!!
