Frustration

So I've been on the Nutrisystem diet more than a month, and I've cheated more times than I think I ever did when I was on e-diets. I'm becoming discouraged at my lack of willpower, as well as the fact that I can barely stand the food anymore.

To be fair, I may have griped a lot about e-diets, but at least a lot of the food tasted okay. Many of the Nutrisystem dishes are heavily sauced, have funny flavors, and make me wish I'd eaten something blander. Fortunately, when I make selections for my next shipment, I'll know what to steer clear of and which dishes I should order in bulk.

I've started a new semester at school, which presents plenty of challenges, particularly that I have to come back to the apartment to eat and I frequently feel hungry during the day.

Most of all, I did break 180, but barely. My weight vacillates now between 179-181 no matter what I do. I need to regroup, get motivated, and do something (like exercise) to get this project moving again.

Frankly I've been on a diet most of this year and I'm getting tired of it, so I want to make some progress soon!

welcome back!! we missed you.
It's so hard when you plateau. Are you drinking all of your water?? That sometimes helps!!

V-
So glad you are back and don't lose hope. The main thing that will really help you is exercise. It is so hard to start, but then it honestly becomes a really relaxing part of your day- and amazingly gives you more energy. Exercise is what really did it for me- and I know it will help you a lot too.

Best of luck and keep us all posted!
