So frustrated

I am so frustrated. I haven’t posted in a while because I feel like a huge failure. I have been gaining and losing the same two pounds for like a month. Last week I lost, this week I am not getting weighed because I just have a feelings it’s really bad since I went out of town over the weekend and have been eating a lot. For me a lot isn’t necessarily stuffing my face, if I have 1,500 instead of 1,200 calories I can gain weight. I am just getting so disheartened and upset. It makes me really mad – why is it so easy for some people to lose weight when I have pretty much been at the same plateau for almost a year at this point? I am a complete failure.

No worries

Hi-

I'm new to the site and I'm also on a quest to lose weight. I saw your post and I can relate! I think the most important thing to do when you hit a plateau is to change things up! If it isn't working, fix it... Also really really think about the outcome of a few extra calories and the fact that it isn't worth it. Push yourself a little harder and things will start to turn around (and if they don't right away, at least you will feel better knowing you're doing the best you can). Ask for advice, maybe a nutritionist or a personal trainer. Plus it is not a failure to maintain a certain weight- that's hard work and at least you're not gaining!

You are not a failure. You have kept it off! That is way better than most people can claim. A year without gaining? Most people gain back what they lost plus some within a year! You are totally above the norm. I know it is hard and I totally sympathize as I am going through the same thing. Try not to let the crappiness get in the way of your diet. Don't use this as an opportunity to binge. You will do this. We both will. It's a slow process. The slower we lose, the less likely we are to gain it back!
