Motivation...

I have had these weeks too and I always get so mad at myself! Like I'm eating just to eat! Some weeks I am ahead in my points (even with special events) and I've exercised more than ever... And then there are other weeks where I can't pinpoint why it is so hard to get/stay motivated whether it be with food or exercise! I guess the first place I should start is to try to find out why I am eating everything in sight! Maybe I'm bored? Maybe I'm hungry because I'm not eating enough or the right things at my proper meal/snack times? Lately, I feel like part of my excuse is that I am becoming more and more confident and comfortable with the way I look/feel, so I start to let things slide a bit, when I still have so far to go! Then the next thing I know, I'm watching the scale creep up! Seeing that usually helps me find motivation because I know that I NEVER want to go back...never go back to my old physical self, my old habits, or my old confidence-level. But the point I need to work on the most is finding other motivations, not just watching the scale creep up to get motivated... Some days, weeks, months are better than others, but when I need some encouragement, I remind myself of something someone said at a meeting one time: 'I didn't gain all of this weight in a bad day, bad weekend, or even a bad week!' So, tomorrow is a new day where I can get back on track!
