Obsessive and not Motivated

[blondie1974]

I feel like I keep trying Atkins over and over and over again. I lost 35 lbs last summer and now have gain 25 of it back. I can't seem to get emtionally to the point of "I deseve this" I am not motivated and do want to be thin but can't get motivated or to the point of "I deserve this" "Why?" I keep asking "Why do I want this?".
Last summer the wedding gave me motivation and now I have nothing to push me. Please help me! I want it but need to feel good enough to say "I want this for ME"

Oh and I get so obsessive thinking of this that I actually wake up wanting to try again......HELP!

It is a good idea to read/re-read Chapter 21 in DANDR. It deals with emotional eating and it gives some useful tips on how to avoid it.

How did yesterday go? Did you manage to stay on plan?

no, I didn't stay on plan but I didn't eat anything that was aweful. I had 100% whole wheat bread for a sandwich yesterday. Today is a good day. Thank you for responding. Have a blessed day!
