For almost a week now I have been having major problems on CAD. I went off plan Tuesday night (majorly), then was good for a few days, then screwed up again over the weekend, was good for a day, and then screwed up again tonight. If you want more details you can check my journal, most recently this post ( http://forum.lowcarber.org/showpost...7&postcount=552 ) but be warned, it's rather long.

I don't know what to do. I mean, I know what to do, I just have to get through those three days until CAD becomes brainless again. I guess I should say I don't know how to deal with the terror that it's all downhill from here, that I'm going to keep backsliding and gaining and undo everything I've worked so hard for recently. I'm afraid I'll never be in control again. I'm afraid I'll look back on this for the rest of my life as the lowest I ever got, and it still wasn't low enough, I never made it to goal. I'm at a weird in-between, where I'm thinner than I've probably ever been (it's hard to tell) but still overweight -- I fit into size 6 jeans but depending on the cut some are too tight for comfort. I still need to lose more around the waist especially.

Anyway, I just need someone to say, "you're going to get through this, you *can* get back into the swing of things, it's not hopeless." Very few other people understand what this is like, that's why I'm posting here. I need to know I can start losing again. I want to stop beating myself up. I want to stop eating those foods outside of RM. I want to feel good and in control and "in the zone" again, where you *know* you're losing weight even without the scale, because you feel good, your clothes feel good, and exercising and eating on plan are effortless. It's just a happy feeling.
