Do you ever just want to say 'forget it' ? - Weight Loss Message Board

Hello all.

Odd question....do you ever just want to stop ? I am so tired of writing down everything I put into my mouth and feeling guilty about eating stuff. The (evil) scale was at 120.5 today. The lowest I've seen it was 116.5 which was great, but . . . I'm just tired of watching everything I eat and stuff. Went to McDonald's last week with every intention of having a Big Mac, really wanted to taste that special sauce!! I guilted myself out of it though. Read the nutrional info on the placemat, and opted for the cesear salad with grilled chicken (not the crispy--that was higher in calories) I'm so sick of tracking everything down to beverages and condiments! Do you guys get sick of it too? I'm so afraid if I don't, before I know it I'll be back up to 130 or higher again.

Have I just fell off the wagon and need to get back on? Have any of you ever fallen off for a week or so? A couple of days? Last week was a week from hell between work, and school stuff. I had my hubby get me some Ben & Jerry's and ate it in two days. It was the first time I've had it in almost a year. Boy, did it taste GREAT!!! Maybe the lousy week made me have no ambition for excercise too. But I did get walks in with the dogs almost every day. I try to go further and faster each time, but one of our dogs is old and can't do too much, but hates to be left home if I take the other dog out.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sorry, just having a moment I guess. Any incouragement would be great. Hope all is well with everyone!

Same here. ALL.THE.TIME.

i've been yo-yo dieting now for almost 9 years, and i'm seriously at the point where i am just SO ****** SICK of constantly "dieting" and being a slave to the scale, that i just wanna say "**** IT!!!" and just eat whatever i want and not give a rat's *** anymore.

yeah, i'm not happy being overweight. and even though i've continously lost weight (and regained some, and then lost some, and then RE-regained some again, and so on), this never-ending "diet" of mine has either never actually gotten me down to the EXACT weight i want to be at, OR once it has, i've never been able to maintain it. so i just think to myself "what's the point in continuing to deprive myself of all the delicious foods i LOVE to eat, and crave ALL the time, if depriving myself isn't even giving me the results i want ANYWAY???".

i feel your pain, believe me. i'm just about at my wit's end with this thing. and moreso, i'm just really starting to not care anymore, either.

I've said "forget it" several times in the past and locked up the calorie notebook and just "watched" what I ate.
And then I gained 30 pounds again!

After about 4 go-rounds with this nonsense I realized if weight control is going to work FOREVER, I can NEVER AGAIN say the evil words "forget it."

My last words will be written: "Don't turn off the ventilator til I can record the day's calories from that IV drip."

Thanks all, for your input. At least I know I'm not the only one. I have been slacking REALLY bad at writing down all my foods. The scale hasn't really moved either way yet (just between 1/2 lb and 1.5 lbs, but that could be water or time of day or whatever). Maybe it's just a bad week. I've been eating right, just not writing it down. hopefully I'll get back on track. Thanks again for your responses! Have a great day.

P.S.--I loved that note about not unplugging the respirator/IV drip yet...lol
