Aww ladies - remember you haven't failed until you quit trying!!
We ALL fall off the wagon from time to time - no one is perfect - and in the journey we can't get so wrapped up in numbers and carbs and calories that we forget to live too! We ARE more than numbers on a scale, or a mesuring tape!
It's striking a balance right?
We all know that if we go off of low carb we will regain what we have lost and we'll have to start back at square one or worse.
So what's important is to find a way to balance our lives with our diet.
Sue - have the pizza!! Skip the crust! Bring something along to snack on to help fill the void b/c we all know pizza toppings only go so far lol
Sarah - enjoy your time with family and friends - and you are so right, i really believe 99% of this is all mental. That's where the battles take place for us.
I have lost 30 some pounds and still feel like a whale - and I have a feeling I'll always feel that way b/c I have lost down before and still always see myself as HUGE! Even though now I look back at pics from then and wanna kick myself for being so stupid.
But no matter how far or long our journey to our goal weight is - this journey will be with us always, it is not a destination, because even when we arrive, we know how quick we can regain - we have to find ways to stop sabattoging ourselves and enjoy the lives we live within the frame of our ---- NOT diet --- way of eating, lifestyle.
You ladies can do this!! Just take it one meal at a time. Don't worry about the previous one, or the future ones. Just the one you are having right now and make it on plan.
