This has been my most challenging week since I've been on FS. Not happy with the week at all and I even let the food diary go by the way side this week which is SUPER BAD. It's funny how I can say I'm in such a great place on Sunday and then be in such a bad place Monday through Thursday. How does that work? <sigh> Oh well. I haven't given up and I'm not giving up...I figure that as long as I don't give up, I'm winning. Some weeks will be better than others. I'm really in need of turning this week around though. I was out of food so going to the grocery store tonight will make a big difference in the rest of the week.
I can do this. I will do this. I must do this.
I need to get back to my on-top-of-the-world feeling I was getting used to. :)

A few days off is just going to happen. As long as you get back to it, you'll do fine. And if you don't get back on the calorie counting wagon, you'll probably see some consequences- I know every time I fell off the calorie tracking wagon, I stopped losing weight. It happened several times over the first year of my weight loss. The pattern was very clear. Stop counting calories, stop losing weight. Count calories, lose weight! But even if you're not tracking, you should try not to feel like you have free reign to eat anything and everything :) As long as you keep eating pretty well, it may not make much of a difference over only a few days.

Don't give up! You can do it! Just shake it off and start a new day with a smile knowing that you're worth it =)

Every day is a new chance to make a difference! You are committed to the process and you will have days like this. Look at me - I did! But today, I'm back to taking care of myself. You have the tools and the motivation, all you need is to get back on your path and you will be fine. :)

Thanks buddies. I told myself that I absolutely was NOT going to wait until Monday to get back on track. That was always my old mentality. I refuse to get back into that pattern so today I am back on board. Sunday's weigh-in will definitely reflect my difficult week but it doesn't matter--I know this is just part of the process. K8yk--One day I even checked out some of your OLD journal entries just to assure myself that you weren't always like you are now. ;) You're so on top of your lifestyle now...I intend to be there some day, too...it made/makes me feel better to know that it took you time to get where you are. And Jenju is always just a little ahead of me...so I feel like I know what's around the corner...I can get there...I'm close. :)

I'm in my first week and it sucks terribly. I turned down a whole chocolate chip cheesecake for a bag of steamed veggies and just a tiny glob of cheesecake. Actually I cut the cheesecake up and gave the whole damn thing away and all I ate was what stuck to the knife when I was done cutting it into pieces haha.

Bad days are going to happen. It's hard to change a lifestyle, especially a bad one. I congratulate you on not waiting until monday to start again. I had the same problem this week and each day I started aknew, and not just saying it's a bad week I'll start again on monday. No everyday is a chance to get it right and I don't plan on wasting a moment, and neither are you. Great discison.
