I completely understand! For those who don't understand it is like being an alcoholic... you may be sober for 125 days but you know at any moment it could break and you could be back to square one and you are petrified that one day you will slip up and all this glorey will be taken away and you will end up back there back to that fat person that you hated... I could go on, but I do not need to... Everyday is a battle and I think both you & me and many others in this same situataion have to come to the realisation that like an alocholic, it may always be a battle, we may always have cravings, may always have to use willpower, it isn't going to be an easy ride... and that's just the way it is so we have to deal with it, deal with each day, say no to the cookie again and again because we know one will hurt........ But don't be frightened about going backwards, because as I have changed so have you... the old marc would not have admitted that he is struggling... the old marc wouldn't have even thought about saying no to the cookie, thought about the properties of it, how much fat, how much carbs, would have just eaten it and probably 5 more... this is how you ARE different now, these are the parts of your head that have changed, reward yourself for those changes.... because of these changes you will keep succeeding and keep looking great & always fighting the battle! now to take my own advice & apply it to myself :) I shouldn’t start my commet with LOL because it may seem offensive… but when you read my recent blog you will understand!

I completely understand!

When I was in highschool I weighed 170 pounds. By no means was I obese, but I was definitely overweight and felt horrible about myself. Over about 2 months my senior year, I dropped to 135 basically through excessive cardio and starvation. I've managed to keep the weight off somehow and have only gone back up to about 145 (which was this past spring). Now I'm back holding steady at 135, but my body shape has totally changed. I competed in that online body transformation contest and it did wonders for me. But after I left the gym the night my trainer took my after pictures I started crying. I was terrified. I knew I had worked so hard, but then I became terrified when I realized I was going to have to keep it up to stay like that. I cried myself to sleep that night because I was sure I was going to wake up the next morning and be 170 pounds again. I struggle like crazy to try and keep myself lean. I gain fat very easily if I don't monitor what I'm eating and how much training I'm doing very very closely. I'm dealing with the same crap of people that just don't understand it. Basically all my girlfriends are naturally lean and they don't understand that the "one cookie" will really mess me up because that stuff adds up quickly on my body. I've been beating myself up a lot lately with my "cheat meals". Once I start really looking how I want to, I go and eat a really excessive amount of food. And then of course I'm really mad at myself. But as I'm getting ready to eat all that food I just tell myself that it doesn't matter anyway because in my mind I'm still fat. And it's something that I'm trying really hard to get over, but I can't. And I know a lot of people won't understand that, but I really think that you will. Which is why I am sitting here writing like crazy about stuff I've never really talked to anyone about before. If you need a support person, someone that truly understands, please feel free to talk to me. I'd really like it if you could do the same for me.

Thats a very strong blog about your trials! I know so many people with similar issues, and it's too easy to give in. Mentally, after I sneak some cookies, I feel guilty and run a little farther, or also the aspect that we all need to reward ourselves once in awhile. I really like bodyauditors statement. Scale it way back, enjoy some leisurely jogging. I like to ride my bike indoors while watching tv dang dude, your doing so awesome. Thats a very strong blog about your trials!

Absolutely what happens to many and unfortunately, most individuals who undertake a fitness plan. At this point, you need to take a step back, evaluate your current fitness program and change some things up. "Variety" is used to describe the spice of life, well, trust me here when I say, variety is the spice of a successful and sustained fitness plan. Alter your cardio, change your weight lifting program completely, whatever. Scale back for six weeks, take a week off, re-challenge yourself, try stadiums, sprints, plyometrics...again, whatever. There's a veritable plethora of things you can do to mix a program up, and if you are seriously thinking about quitting altogether, you owe it to yourself to try some different things first....Just thoughts from the hazy side.....
