I'm in the same boat as you... but I don't think it is lack of motivation. It is more along the line that we still desire food and find it to be pleasurable. I mean each day you can't do what you want to do, each day you look at your little one and want to be the best you can... don't you think you are motivated???

I was at 417 and now I'm down to 373.4.. however it has taken me 10 months... why is that b/c of this same thing, follow for a week, few days, then cheat for a week or few days then try again.

I feel happy eating this WOE but at the same time I still want everything else to eat and I don't have enough money or time to find an alternative all the time. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

The only thing I can advise is what I tell myself... I'm worth the change, I'm capable of changing, and I will change today, tomorrow, or when the time is right, mean while just keep trying.

Feel free to pm me anytime.
