I was doing real good until...

dart368 Posts: 113 Joined: 2005/05/20	2006/11/30, 09:53 PM Lifting weights, running 3 times a week, eating 6 meals a day of healthy foods. But this month, I have really been blowing it. My weight has gone up a few pounds, Munching on the small Halloween chocolate candies, then Thanksgiving with the food and pies, then my Mother died and I have been eating like crap and hardly drinking water at all. I was so motivated and then all of this happened on top of my pulling a muscle in my upper back/chest area. That has me depressed as well. I really need some motivation to get back on track and to stop eating like it's no use, I'll never get rid of the fat anyway...

There is never a better time than now, to get back on track. If you keep saying tomorrow, it will never happen.

It seems to be very common to take a "I don't give a $hit" kind of attitude when we get depressed, I know I tend to do the same thing. You need to get your head around it and do the exact opposite. Start giving a $hit again, and appreciate the life and body you have. You know what you need to do and how to do it, so just do it. You'll feel sooo much better once you start!! -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there. -------------- The harder you fall, the higher you bounce

If (insert person here) was still alive and around would they want to see you like this? 2. Would you want to honor their memory by falling to pieces when they spent so much time building your foundation? -------------- Jason Fox 6'1" 380lbs Weight Goal 300 by april 2007

I am so sorry to hear about that and that it had to happen. Thank you for all of the condolences everyone and thanks for the suppoert. I am back on track and sticking to my goals, running sprints and lifting weights and I am going to stick with it.
