3 days in a row of slightly poor eating and I gain like 10 lbs. Obviously this is normal I guess.

I know the feeling.
I went through a huge weight loss myself, and for the past two years my weight has been drastically fluciating. Never to the point of where I was once at, I sure as fuck won't let that happen to myself. But still changing drastically nevertheless. I go between 170lbs-205lbs. Gaining anywhere from 10-20lbs in a single month. Once that happens, I diet, lose as much as I gained, and go back to "conventional" and habitual, fast-food eating. Gain the weight back, diet, gain it back, diet, etc - It is a continuous cycle, and it's
very disheartening to say the least.
Complete and utter discouragement, that makes you never want to eat healthy. Why? Because you eat right for five days? Ten days? Shit even, 30-days of dieting - Then cheat for two days straight, and gain everything back. Talk about a fucking downer. And does being down make you want to do? Eat some more. It seems people like Me and Brad are destined for failure, when it's not really our fault. We did not know better when we were younger - so we ate, we enjoyed, as any kid does. Then, once we hit the age of "enlightenment", as an older teen -- We realize we're overweight and it's time for a change. We make this change, succeed, and then bamm - Get hit with the utter reality, that your life/diet plan will never be the same. That you can never go back to that type of eating. Meanwhile, you've others eating like this on a full time basis - Gaining insiginificant amounts of weight.
Anyway - We've our little run ins every so often Brad, but in all seriousness, good luck with that man. I know it's hard, I'm on a diet right now, trying to play "catch up" with last months weight. My spirits are broken, and cheating is so tempting - And I'm only on day 5.
