Well, I got off the train and onto the wagon. Yes, again. I honestly don't know what it's going to take for me to get it together and do this, everyday. Maybe I need to stop thinking about the whole picture and start thinking about each meal, each goal and each step to get to the small goal. Maybe I need to set the small goals in order to reach the whole picture. Tired of hearing my mom "You need to take care better care of yourself." speech. The sad part is, she's right and I hate the fact that she's right. Well, now (again) is as good of time as any to "take better care of myself." I will set goals tonight when I get home. The promising thing I have is I signed up Allrecipes.com membership so when I make a home cooked meal, I have all the nutritional values figured out for me, so I don't have to calculate them! It even has a meal planner too along with a shopping list. So this weekend, I plan on setting up the whole week's worth of meals head of time so I know what's going in before I even eat it. Planning helps progress right?
The last month (since 06/10/14) I've just been plain lazy, unmotivated and eating whatever I wanted to without counting or paying attention. Clothes are tight again, which is why I'm back here. Keeping myself accountable to myself.

A couple thoughts on your day: (1) Are you being too aggressive in your initial goals--going from 3,000-4,000 to 1,600 calories in one day can be a shock. And it's disheartening to see the big red bar when you did make progress today. (2) Your snacks did you in. Was there too big a gap between meals, or was your lunch (182 calories) too small? Personally, I need at least 300+ calories in a meal to feel satisfied.

Welcome! I too, have started over repeatedly. The only alternative--and I've seen it even here--is giving up. I think all four of us should take and are worth taking better care of ourselves! Best of luck.

Don't give up! I did CK 10 years ago with great success and now I'm back at it again! I too plan my meals, I find it removes the anxiety and definitely helps. Most of the time it helps me stay focused; today I'm food cranky but it happens, tomorrow I'll have adjusted my attitude and will probably be ok again.
=D

Just plan ahead with meals but don't put to much pressure on yourself, take it day by day...each day I set a goal and it helps me stay on track. Plus the CK family really helps to encourage each other to keep on, pick ourselves up, dust off and face tomorrow
Good luck and keep blogging

Thank you! I appreciate your encouragement. Can I add you as a friend? I don't have any and would like CK friends to help keep me encouraged.

I've started over more times than I can count. Literally. But the only alternative is to keep getting fatter and fatter - so I keep starting over. Best of luck to you!
