No advice or suggestions, but I have got to say I am in the same boat with the same 5-7 lbs. Funny thing is I usually do really well through the holidays, it's just January that kills me! I get so depressed - no more holiday events or activities, no people to visit, things were so busy between Thanksgiving and Christmas, then all of a sudden nothing but depressing, cold winter days. x( Out comes the comfort food and out goes the motivation to exercise.
Tomorrow is a new month and a month closer to spring time. I, too, feel like a bloated cow! It's amazing how just a few pounds can make a huge difference! Just think what a mere week of clean eating and exercise can do for you mentally and physically to get back in the game! February is a short month, so let's plan on making it our comeback month and be ready for warmer days ahead!

sounds good but my problem is I start off good and then blow it by the end of the day. I keep telling myself okay its a new day lets try this again, its and endless cycle with me and eating. I love exercise and have no problem doing it, making it a ritual in my daily things to do but when it comes to eating I just have no power. Its really got me frustrated that something has power over me and I feel like I have no control, which I know I should and could but getting there has been a major battle for me. I dont know if its because my entire family loves to eat and we all have a problem with food. this is something that I really have a problem with. I need to try hipnosis or something. seriously I really feel defeated when it comes to eating and I dont know how to conquer it. I have tried and tried. good thing I love to exercise or I would be an even bigger cow than I am now.sorry to ramble on I just get mad at myself sometimes. anyway thanks and good luck with your eating .

I'm feeling the same way as you are Laura. Everything you said is me and more. Five years ago I lost 20 lbs. on WW and have gained back 10. It was only 5 until now. Everyday I overeat and say I'll start over tomorrow. Today I ate almost a whole pan of Reeses Cup that I made from a box mix. Boy was it good but I am miserable. I am a flight attendant and I was never tempted by the snacks on the aircraft when I first lost my weight. Now I can't stop eating them along with all the good food I bring with me on the trip. Thank goodness we don't serve meals.
We have got to get some motivation to stop the violence of our eating habits. I'm starting tomorrow with a break on Super Bowl Sunday. I can try to be good .

glad I am not alone but it does get frustrating doesnt it. I guess if one of us finds a solution that works for them , please pass it on to the rest of us. we at least got the active part down, thanks goodness. at least we can also look at it this way, we are doing our heart,lungs, and the rest of our bodies good by doing the physical part . I love exercising and it will always be a part of my life and routine. one day, I vow to conquer my eating issues as well. thanks.
