Try eating at a small deficit. It may feel like the weight isn’t coming off because it will be slow. But you might not feel tempted to go “off” plan if you’re allowing yourself more food! I also stopped eliminating foods which has been helpful. And I also take measurements every few weeks. It’s really amazing to see my body change, especially when the scale doesn’t!

The way I go when 'I fell off' is to remember that there is no start or stop. Only an ongoing plan to eat a little better than yesterday. If I don't think of starting a diet plan, I can give myself more grace when I don't as well as I should. This helps to keep up my motivation for eating and not throwing it all away. I hope that helps. But you never quit. You got this!!

I know what you mean been there many times, try taking one day at a time, or one meal at a time a after 3rd day it won't be easy to throw away the hard work you've done, today is my first day of starting my journey (again) after my mom passed away, late November. I'm taking the one meal at a time approach. if I make it after 3rd I've passed the struggle.

It is a struggle for sure. I don't know what eating plan you have in place to attain your goal but I do suggest that once you do commit to the plan that you write it in paper & display it on your bathroom mirror with positive affirmations. Meditate, pray & visualize your success. Before you put anything in your mouth just stop yourself for a second & ask yourself "Does this help to get me to my GOAL?" I had also heard this statement from a YouTube influencer (Keto Twins) & they always say "Trust the process". That stuck to me. So if you commit then you have to trust the process. I hope this inspires & helps you.

The ONLY way I can lose weight now is by reading the Bible, obeying it (not sinning) & focusing on following Christ and making sure everything I do glorifies God rather than using food as a drug. It’s not my body, it belongs to God. Binging, starving (different than fasting), eating garbage, eating a way that keeps me from eating healthy food (ie: no fruit on keto) does NOT show God my love & gratitude.
No offense intended to non Christians.

I too am a yo-yo, so I completely understand! Maybe making small changes would help, so it does not feel like you're being deprived. Then when those become the norm, you can pick a few more things you'd like to change.

My tip would be to be my free client that I need to fulfill my health coaching program certification 😀 In all seriousness might not hurt to try something new and have someone to hold you accountable 😉

I have been there too. For me if I make a daily menu, log it and prep those foods, it's easier for me to stay on track. Also eat alot of protein, it keeps you full longer.

I go through the exact same thing.

I do like Diana above...plan my food for the day, log it, and stick to it. I try to plan in a 'treat' for the day also. If I don't, I feel deprived, dwell on chocolate (for example) and then end up binging. The other day I was trying to decide whether I wanted PB mm's and decided no. I kept thinking about them and in the end I binged on snack cakes. I should have just had the mm's...

First of all it's 8#; not 10#. Getting sorted is easy once you get your mind right. You can find my detailed thoughts here - https://bit.ly/FATLOSSQUICKSTART

I had to throw away everything that was not on my diet. Cleaned out my fridge and cupboards! It’s too easy to stray off plan when those forbidden foods are in my kitchen. I also find that tracking everything I eat daily helps with accountability. And lastly, I bought a really shirt that is too small for me right now but it’s my next size and I see it everyday. It’s just waiting for me to get smaller. Good luck!

Yo-yo is my middle name so here are a couple things that I have found helpful over the years.
Calorie deficit is key 🔑 ❤️💥 Count your calories on here, and stick to your goal (ex: 1500 RDI)
*if you go over, adjust your next few days and correct it by checking your weekly average*
Intermittently fast 💪🏼💥❤️ try abstaining from all food and drink other than water (ex: 18 hour fast)
One
Meal
A
Day
“OMAD”
Make your OMAD satisfying. Eat what you’re craving. Plan for it.
I hope this helps!

Sometimes we have to up our calorie intake for a day or two to wake up our system. When we don't eat enough our body goes into a starvation mode and lowers our metabolism. I don't deprive myself of anything and eat what I like. I'm cutting down on fat, sugar and salt. I lost 110 lbs within a 3-year period this way.

Visualisation is very important, you must see how this plan is going to leave you in better shape, better health, and feeling and looking fantastic, then that sugary treat or deep fried fast food or pizza is not doing you any favours to reach your goals. Keep that in mind, and fill your fridge with fresh whole produce, cheeses, nuts and meats you can snack on which will not equate to major damage to your goals :)

high, high protein. It keeps me from getting hungry, kills the bingy feeling.
