I have gained back the 17 I lost and want to lose 30 total (40 long term, but that seems too big). Anyway, my cycle right is: gain back a few pounds, get depressed, eat more, drink more out of depression, gain more, feel more hopeless, eat more/drink more out of depression, etc. <br/><br/>Did you ever go through this? Can you post about it if so. I am having a hard time pulling myself out of this fog to get focused. I am so frustrated by having to start over. <br/><br/>Thank you,<br/><br/>Jennifer Roni — I too am really struggling right now.

Did you ever go through this? Can you post about it if so. I am having a hard time pulling myself out of this fog to get focused. I am so frustrated by having to start over.

Thank you,

I love your posts- you're a very good healthy eating role model. Tonight I went out for sushi (it's hard for me to go out to eat too and stay "on plan") and I listened to my body and didn't eat too much, ate slowly, and only ate what I liked. I put extra emphasis on enjoying my time with the people I was there with and the exotic food. Do you like sushi? I think it's pretty good for you, but I honestly have no idea about the nutrition facts. Do you know anything about that? <br/>Thanks so much again for making this blog!! You're great!<br/>-Marie<br/>P.S. I ordered VitaMuffins! I think they're going to arrive tomorrow and I'm sooo excited!! :D Hi Roni!

I do great for so long and then, like you describe, nothing satisfies me and I return to very bad habits, actually worse habits than I had at my worst -- I just eat as much and whatever I feel like, even making special trips to get "bad" stuff, going to get fast food, etc. I avoid the scale for a few days, get on, have a terrible gain, vow never to do that again, but it is a vicious cycle with me and I get really down about it too. I am certain there are others. I tell myself not to give up, it's what we do the majority of the time, yet this happens to me way too often and sets me back. Many times it starts with not having my old standbys of healthy stash in the house, I start grabbing whatever and it escalates from there. I guess I need to be more prepared but I don't know if that's enough to overcome it. <br/><br/>Deb To Justine,

It's one of my favorite places to eat. Where else can you get away from work for an hour or so and watch SportsCenter at the same time?<br/><br/>Melanie is right. Next time, try one of the salads or the naked chicken tenders. They're usually pretty good. The only bad part is that I don't think that BWW is very good about posting nutrition information. At least they don't bring you chips beforehand so you can't mindlessly eat while you're watching the big-screen TVs. I love BWWs! It’s one of my favorite places to eat.

Love the place but sometimes it is tough to make good choices there. Most of the time I get naked tenders and a salad. The tenders come with bbq on the side so you can dip as much or as little as you want. Now I have a hankering for BW's...Thanks Roni!! ;-) Ahhhhh BW’s.

I'm just wondering if you ever BINGE eat. Not eat 'mindlessly', but really binge on food where you just can't seem to get satisfied? It happened to me the past seven days, and it leaves me feeling embarassed and ashamed. I've lost 50 pounds on WW and I still can eat as much as ever when I'm down. Anyways, thought I'd put it out there and see if anyone else runs into this old habit?<br/><br/>Justine Hey Roni,
