Default help me find the reasons

PLEASE, on why I should continue LCing....

I actually know the reasons, but am having such a hard time. I blew my carb count last Sunday and haven't gone back to Induction, like I had planned. I think the reason why is that last Sunday I weighed myself and I hadn't lost a single ounce--that's 16 days with no weight loss. I did, however, lose at least 5 inches, so I don't know why I got discouraged and depressed and fell off the wagon. I'm so disappointed in myself right now. I just seemed to have lost my impetus and need help in getting it back.

I had already decided to go back to Induction to try to trigger a weight loss. Now, I guess I reasoned that if I boosted my carbs for a day (which turned into a week!) that it could get me going with weight loss, but now of course I've probably gained. I only weigh at work and will be weighing Monday night.

How can I get my determination back???? I just feel like I don't have the energy--too much work to do all the food prep, etc. I also was feeling low energy and thought it was because of low carbs so that was a reason to boost them, too. But, actually, if anything I have LESS energy!!

I've tried re-reading my DANDR to remind me of the reasons to get back at it, but it's not working. I would really, really appreciate some words of encouragement and support right now. I knew this would be the best place for that.

Thank you in advance,

Nicole
