Well, I just don't even know what to say--things have been very challenging for me this week...every day. I haven't done horribly but definitely not within my points. I had reached my point limit today at 2:30 in the afternoon. Normally I would keep writing down everything even though I went over but I don't even know what I ate at this point--I sort of gave up...for TODAY. Not tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a new day. I envision the next three days being harder than most as I'll be going on a mini vacation with friends and in our world, vacation = eating. I'm going to be aware though--I'm going to eat reasonably. I won't have my computer to log my food but I'll log it on paper somewhere and just do the best that I can. It won't be perfect but here's what I know and what I have to remind myself: no matter how "badly" I feel like I'm doing right now, I have to be eating far less calories than I was prior to joining FS and I'm eating more nutritiously, too so there are still some positives even though I might be going over my points. And what I always have to tell myself is that as long as I don't give up on this, I'm still "winning"...and I am NOT giving up.
Update: I made myself remember and go back in to the food journal and record my food. I realized that saying I couldn't remember was just a terrible excuse for not having to face the facts. There--I did it.

Keep the faith - you CAN do this. Plan ahead - take snacks that are healthy with you on your trip. Let your friends know you are taking care of yourself with a health and fitness plan - ask for their help. If they are truly your friends, they will want to help you. When eating out, look for "clean" proteins (like grilled chicken with nothing on it) and load up on veggies.
Take a deep breath, focus and remember that you are doing this for YOU.
