After 2 years, I've fallen off the dieting bandwagon

I’m still calorie counting, but I’m not sticking to my calorie limit. I’m overeating.

It’s been this way for a month.

Hopefully I can get back on the wagon.

I’m not sure what’s gone wrong :sob:

I found calorie counting to be tiring.

I simply didn’t have the conviction to keep doing it.

I’ve a good calorie counting app , so I quite enjoy it. It’s like a game.

But like I said, I have to get back in the wagon somehow.

When I was calorie counting I was replacing lunch with a Huel shake. Helped to stay within the right numbers.

I’ve got the opposite problem. I’m also calorie counting but I can’t make myself eat more than like 800 calories max:( Eating disorder in full effect.

I’m sorry I don’t have any suggestions that would be more helpful than hurtful.

Coincientally timed with giving up vaping.

Give yourself a break and don’t beat yourself up over it.

It is quite simple to get calorie counting again. So get to it. :smiley:

I’m overeating too. I did so good for so long. It’s so hard to stick to it for life.

I lose 5 pounds every six months at the doctor’s office…I only eat stuff like canned black eyed peas, canned peas, chicken and noodles, spaghetti, with marinara meat sauce…stuff like that…since I don’t enjoy my food I get to watch how much I eat…I have to watch out for dorito nacho cheese chips, or ice cream.

I’ve been overeating because of reading about stressful events unfolding on the world stage. I won’t say what these are (I don’t want to start any debates), but it’s hard to know how much news to shut out with all the click bait articles online. I wonder if I should shut it out, but I don’t want get blind-sided either.

Keep us posted.

I’m trying too. I was eating healthy for a year and was at a good weight and a1c level. Now I’m overweight and a1c is not good.

I started last week and have not had sugar. So far so good.

It’s not too late to get your diet back in order. I think it’s great that you found a calorie counting app that you like. I found that I get a tad obsessive over them (ie completely and totally obsessed) and found it healthier for me to avoid them. So seriously- good for you for getting to that point! I wish you the best of luck.
