Been a while and a failure
I’ve been out and about and not on this site much lately because I’m battling several injuries. They are more or less healed except I will probably scope my knee in the next month. I’ve also been depressed because I’ve been a total failure in the eating department. No matter what I do, I return to the bad habits. Now that is what I define being a failure.

Hang in there & hope you pull yourself out. We’ve all been there so please don’t consider yourself a failure, just minor set back.

Don’t give up on yourself. I’m no psychologist and I can’t say I know what you’re going through, but you’re not alone. It’s really hard to be healthy in this society sometimes.

There’s one word that’s not allowed in our house and that’s "failure." While I do not know what you are going through, I will say that sometimes it’s really really hard to get over a setback BUT we can all get out of it. Just take some time to figure things out and reward yourself with things other than food. You will be on track in no time. Be kind to yourself and stop referring to yourself as a failure. Change starts in the mind first, so be positive!

Connemara,
Thank you for the confidence your pushing in my direction as it really helps. I think I got into the rut of laziness and today I started pulling myself out of it. Hugs
Genki,
Failure is not allowed in my house either and up until your post I didn’t look at it as I was setting myself up for failure. Much thanks to you. Hugs

Sorry to hear about your injuries! I am sure not getting your regular endorphins rush from the workouts are contributing to your feelings of depression, too. Hang in there. It really does take a long time to get a grasp on the eating clean bit, especially since we are literally fighting DECADES of poor food choices, emotional eating, etc… Those habits are not reversed in days or even necessarily months…
