Week 2 and I Cheated Already!

[tinkin3]

So, last night, I went to my monthly book club. Knowing that there would probably be things there that I shouldn't eat, I cooked myself some dinner first, and got there a little late. I was so proud of myself, turning down homemade enchiladas, creamy soup, etc. But, unfortunately, I didn't turn down a glass of red wine. In the big scheme of things, it's not that big of a deal, but I feel like I've let myself down!

That is so not bad! You can rebound. You just might crave more sugars tomorrow. I thought a burrito my second week was bad but some of these ladies will tell you stories about real breakdowns in Phase 1.

I get the self shame but just move forward. After my mess up, I quit and ate and drank and was stupid. Now I have to start all over and I am back at 5 days. Keep going! You can do it!

When I saw your title to this thread, I thought maybe you ate something really bad. Don't sweat it. I would pat yourself on the back for the things you did not eat. Great job!

I agree - not so bad! I never know what temptation will be at book club. I like to remember that feeling though - and use it motivate me NOT to feel that guilt again.

Yea...I agree, be proud of what you did not eat! When I've blown it, it's like a dumptruck unloaded in my mouth!!! I would feel great that you passed up all the other stuff and had the wine instead...it's all in your perspective. Have a good night!
