Get off the yo yo

[Jenny]

If you've lost weight before, only to have it return, you're not alone! But that doesn't mean you can't do it — don't give up yet! Maybe you just need to try a different way! Here's what other Fit Forever! members have to say about getting off the weight yo-yo for good:

• This time I'm not thinking of it as a diet that will "end" once I reach my goal, but as a change I'm making for life!
• I'm not going to let slipups become an excuse to abandon my whole exercise plan. I'll just get right back on the horse and keep going!
• I'm working out every day this time, instead of just trying to starve myself.
• Don't look back. The past is not the future! This time can be different!
• I'm following the plan, but no longer making food and mealtime the focus of my life. I weigh in once a week, keep a journal, and take it one day at a time.
• Posting on the Discussion Boards really helps me stay motivated! Together, we can do it!
• I'm not going to let how far I have to go discourage me or become an excuse to quit. I'm sticking with it as long as it takes!
• I remind myself that every day I'm one day closer to becoming a better, healthier self!
