This is a blog from the website for the book “The Beck Diet Solution” by Dr. Judith Beck. It talks about “off plan” mode, how we get stuck in being off plan and start to feel helpless in getting back on plan and hopeless that we can do it. The solution in the blog is to remember past successes to encourage you to get back on plan now.
What struck me was the use of the terms: helpless and hopeless. In the nine years between two successful weight losses that is how I felt. What solved it for me was changing my psych meds for my depression. But I do remember the feeling of not being able to figure out how to do something about my weight. It is not a nice feeling.
As I started this third weight loss journey, I also realized that previously I had quit WW meetings once I started to gain, which is the time I needed the meetings the most. This time I promised myself I would maintain the meetings and because of the old WW message boards I discovered the joys of online support groups. This is one reason I do my two Facebook groups: to provide ongoing support to people losing weight and maintaining weight loss so they have encouragement during the rough times.
