It is a constant struggle isn't it? Best intentions and what not just wind up out the window sometimes. I have lost 44 pounds now on my own and you know what? I STILL slip up...more than I like to admit. The good thing? I have been doing it for so long now that it is easier to recover, but it takes time. You have to brush off the bad and not try and beat yourself up so much and focus on the next day, next week, etc. You also will learn to catch yourself when you start going out of control and will be able to stop a total downward spiral (pizza and alfredo). It gets easier, but I think we all may always have some issue with food and how we react to it, but it is just a process of getting it under control and bringing it back in when we go a little crazy. Get on the scale tomorrow, whatever it is will be whatever it is. Just try and keep this memory with you so the next time you get to that situation, you can be prepared to deal with it and stick to all your planning. I am a constant work in progress...we all are. You CAN do this. Good luck!

I can see that it's tempting to stick with what is working for you. And if you are eating enough calories and meeting all of your nutritional needs then maybe you can stick with it until you get bored with the smoothie? Be sure to measure and track your food to make sure that you're getting everything your body needs and then you're golden!I always have the same breakfast. ALWAYS. It's not what people typically think of eating when trying to lose weight but for me, it works. Every single day, I have a toasted whole wheat English muffin with about 2 tbsp of cretons (I buy something that is similar to this http://allrecipes.com/recipe/cretons/) and 1 tsp mustard. In all, it's less than 300 calories but if i don't start my morning with this, I end up eating throughout the day. I don't know why it works. I suppose it provides protein, carbs and fat, which is what "they" (the experts du jour) say makes up a healthy breakfast. In the end, it works for me and I'm not going to change it until I get bored of it.Now if only I could find equally satisfying lunches and dinners that wouldn't break the calorie bank... I'm working on it! A smoothie for dinner might be a good idea. Thanks for the recipe.

Your post really speaks to me. I am 26 and have been dieting since I was 12-I struggle with emotional eating too and I think I have a real addiction to sugar. I've had periods of solid weight loss though and nothing keeps me more motivated than seeing those results. Fore me, the toughest part has always been getting re-motivated once I've fallen off the wagon and during those times, when I can't actually see the results on myself, blogging and online support websites like this one work miracles. Keep at it! I'm rooting for you.
