Second day spent off plan since this journey. Not horrible, I just had some of my 'no no' foods. Burger + fries + several sips of a milkshake. The up side is, that's ALL I've eaten today besides a smoothie. And I'm going to the gym tonight. So I'm still in a good calorie range just not from the right foods.
I have spent the past two days in all day meetings. These are usually a disaster for me. But I planned ahead of time and stayed completely on track. I'm so proud of me! LOL
I'm claiming my happy face for today and going to bed early.
For those of you who have slipped, my nutrionist's favorite phrase is "it's about consistency, not perfection" Take a deep breath, forgive yourself and move on. Life's too short to beat yourself up.
creech- childhood education, how cool! I am studying library science right now, hence the screenname
pink - be sure to eat three meals a day. Breakfast is seriously the most important meal of the day. People who don't eat breakfast have a stronger chance of becoming obese. So make sure you eat everyday! Be careful with your body, friend
onherweighdown- Stay awway from the marriage-ah-wana. It will make you eat everything in sight. (see the skeleton is nodding yes)
k-boogie- congrats on 5 lb loss! About my husband, yeah it is a lifestyle change, and he will change with it too over time

librarygirl111: My sister got her Bachelor's in English and got her Master's in Library Science as well! Where do you go to school?
pinkie: I totally agree with the above statement..when I eat breakfast I feel less hungry throughout the day! Especially Kashi or oatmeal..yum!
onherweighdown: I don't have any experience of that sort, but from observing it tends to make you verrry hungry. Losing your inhibitions causes you to binge on foods that aren't on plan, be careful!
Vivian: Congrats on the loss!!
K-Boogie: Thank you for the advice I'm definitely going to listen to my body.. I'm happily "plodding" away around the 1400s so I think I'm going to stay here or maybe do calorie cycling (not extreme though) I also hear you about the water weight thing.. it does get discouraging when you see big WOOSH-es of water weight coming off and then the numbers play with your head thereafter.. stick with it chick!!
Eliana: I totally feel you with the chocolate thing. I was buying dark chocolate (72-86% cacao) and having 2 squares a day for the antioxidant benefit.. I've been trying to stay away from it so the sweetness doesn't make me crave more carb-rich/sugary foods.. so hard!
Although there have been some slip-ups, get right back on track everyone! When I used to go off plan in the past I would totally scr*w myself over, eating bad foods for months after that because something went off in my brain. I don't even know how to explain it! It was always so hard for me to get back on the horse again, so to speak.. but after my birthday last week it only took me 1-2 days to get completely back on track! Months compared to days.. love it
I'll update my smiley soon, I just got home from class so I haven't put my dinner into TDP yet
I should kick myself out of the challenge...seriously. Had another frozen yogurt today, and a whole thing of Oreos. Urgh. Okay. I am back on tomorrow. I am not going to mess up again!!!!!!
No kicking yourself out! If you're struggling we can help you through it girlie Maybe we can chat via AIM/MSN since we have such a similar situation.. diet/accountability buddies?

I agree, don't dwell, it's just make you feel worst and you'd likely to start binging out of disappointment (emotional eating). Just move on, tomorrow is a brand new day, you can do it! Start planning what you want done tomorrow and for the rest of the week. We're here with you, you can also contact me via AIM/MSN also.

Still going strong with day 4, I'll probably have a cup of decaf coffee before bed =X
Thanks girlies!!! I am so glad I posted on here. There was a part of me that just wanted to either disappear or just lie and say I was fine. I am glad that I came and posted.
Creech - I would love to chat with ya's, I never really get on messenger anymore, but we could just PM on here if you want!
I am reporting to tell you all that I am eating celery sticks instead of donuts. LOL! Isn't work fun? Seriously though, the donuts don't really tempt me, but I'm not a big fan of celery sticks. I just figured it was something to keep my mouth busy.
I'm stress eating. I think some of you know my husband suffers from depression? He's suicidal again at the moment. I don't really stress eat, and yet I do. I don't know. I have high hopes for today.
Good Morning
So good to see everyone still here and I'm even happier to see those who are struggling a bit post about it. That's what a support group is all about. I use to be ashamed to post about my "off days" but if you don't then how can others help? Today is a new day which mean new beginnings, we have all day to get it together and make better choices.
I am up 1/2 lb I don't know if that is from too much salt last night (smoked sausage) or from strength training. Normally I would spaze out but it's a
1/2 lb and I am proud of myself for not going to the extreme out of frustration of a slower loss. My eating was on point as well as my exercising.
Anyway, congratulations to everyone... those who have been on track and even those who are having a tough time because you are not giving up and for that I commend you...... hang in there.

Okay it's not a celery stick but close enough, good for you for passing up the donuts! Sorry to hear about your hubby I'm sure it's not easy for you to see him go through this. Is he on medication/in therapy? I'm praying he comes around and things get better. Keep your head up girl!
10/11- But I don't care. It's my birthday!!
10/12- Need a veggie plan for ravenous afternoons
10/13-
10/14- Best of the days though...just caved with two cookies in the evening but spot on the rest of the day.

Yep, meds don't work. It sucks. I float between being desperate to talk about it and not wanting to talk about it at all. It feels pretty hopeless, and if *I* feel hopeless, just imagine how he feels, or at least that's what I tell myself.
