I can barely even see the wagon's tracks from here
Fell off that wagon, I did... about two weeks ago. No reason whatsoever. Just wanted to eat, so I did. It's terrifying how quickly I can go back to my old habits. I will never, ever judge a drug addict again.
I didn't even track. I ate Buffalo Wild Wings. I ate everything. A whole can of Pringles one night.
but..... "drumroll"
I found the wagon again today! I was tempted to give up because "I'll never be able to stick to this", but last night I decided that I'm not just a failure, I'm human, and sometimes we f' up. I'm not going to make my 250 goal by April 1, and I'm going to be behind in my year goal, but better late than never. I will cross that finish line.

YES! And think about how you would have felt in a year if you didn't get back on track? I had a week off wagon a few weeks ago. But now I'm back and stronger than ever.
A big congratulations for climbing back onto that wagon and getting back on track. That's the difficult part.
This is real life and sometimes we mess up. But cleaning up that mess and putting one foot in front of the other to get back on track is what really matters. You've nailed that!
I'm so happy you are back!!! Coming back is a huge accomplishment in this weightloss mission we are all on, I hope we can all be as strong as you when we have to be.
Good luck getting back on track, we are here for you!!
Right there with you! Fell off for a week last week, gained 10 pounds, and it's sticking like glue. I know that in a few days of dieting again things will kick back in, but I am determined not to repeat my old habits of losing about 20-30 pounds and then stopping. Congrats on accepting that we're all going to have episodes and that doesn't make us failures.
Falling off the wagon doesn't mean you can't succeed at losing weight, not coming back after you do it the problem! (AMHIK!) And you are back - so you are a success!!
Great attitude...I didn't have the best eating week ever but this is how we know we have changed...Remember when we used to throw in the towel and give up for the rest of the year???? Or the next five years in my case????? Now, we know that not every slip is a failure and not every fall is a knockout.
Jumping back on the wagon with ya'....Happy trails
