Well ladies and gentlemen, I went back to "lurking" and really not being on the computer and the board exploded! I'm trying to catch up on all the reading! Congrats on all the losses I see posted - there are so many and some with some major milestones - 70 and 120 pound boards - Whoo!
I had a few slip ups last week and today is the last day of my program! Augh! I have a scale at home and know that I am up by 2 pounds which stinks because as of last weigh in I needed to be down by 4 before they said they would stabilize me. So now its a total of 6 pounds before they said I could stablize. I have to WI today as its my last day and I will talk to the center about what I should do and what they will let me do - (I know they will push me to re-enroll since they have the $99 August special.)
But I am curious - What do all of you think I should do.
I have really been struggling these past two and a half weeks. I think my body wants to be at this weight. I am hoping it is just a plataue, but it has lasted forever! I am so frustrated.
I only have 15 pounds to go before I would be the smallest I have EVER been. Then I get this annoying voice in my head that says - "Hey you've had 2 kids! 15 pounds heavier than you were in highschool isn't bad!" Is this voice right????? I began to think so and that's what lead to my "slips" which were-
Last weekend was my daughter's piano recital - nothing major but she wanted cookie cakes made by mommy - so I made her two as requested. I didn't eat the cookie dough like I normally would - by the spoonful
- but I did lick my fingers a couple of times
. Then I made the icing, which was my downfall.
Way too much licking of the fingers there, and I made the huge mistake of not throwing out the leftover icing, so I did have a few spoons of that.
And I did allow myself a very small piece of the cookie cake on Saturday. Then on Sunday we ate at McGuires and I stayed as close to OP as possible. Hubby and I ordered a steak and the steamed veggie plate and split them both. I did have ONE bite of the rueben egg roll appitizer he ordered and with the steak, they serve a half tomato with cheese broiled on top - which I love, but only had one bite.
This week has been crazy, and I have not written down a single thing on my food sheet, plus I have not had enough water, I have not eaten at regular intervals, I have not found the time to exercise and have even skipped a couple meals.
I love this board it is so cathartic.
I am really reaching for some advice as to whether I should continue the program or stabilize (if they will even let me).
I will let you all know how my WI goes today.
It is in the recipe vault for now.)
They loved it! Just knowing it's in my future makes me very 
happy! Thanks
Its definately a place I will go back to!!
