So I went on vacation 2 weeks ago and I have been doing terrible! I went from 193 before I left to 199. Well now I'm down to 196 and I'm not moving because I'm doing terrible!!! Can someone kick my butt and get me back on track? Give it to me, say what ya gotta say to get me back on track Thanks
For starters, you've managed to keep most of the weight off, that is a SUCCESS! No sense beating yourself up about it now, especially since you've seen the light and taken a few off again. Try making promises to your kids that you'll ride your bike with them, or something. That get's me going, "Mom, you promised!"
It is tough to get back on track, after a break. And hey, you are already down three pounds, again. So, you must be doing something right!
If you want a little kick in the arse, tho...
Move it! Move it! Move it! What do you think you are doing, sitting around, whining like a little mama's girl?!?! You know what to do. You have done it before. You can do it again! I know you can! I believe in you! Now, believe in yourself!
Well, let me share my current insight with you. I have realized that true success at losing weight and maintaining that loss doesn't come from eliminating mistakes (or planned treats or vacations) but from getting back into a healthy lifestyle after those inevitable off-plan detours. A weight loss/maintenance lifestyle can include special meals and vacations *IF* you can make the transition back. This is a big deal. It's a tough skill to master.
OK -- so here's an opportunity for you to practice that transition skill! Get back into the swing of things and you can start planning your *next* vacation!
Alrighty.... I did great today, Thanks to Vacation Bible school lol It got me out of the house and I wasn't sitting around eating Thanks ladies for the kick in the pants lol

Well said. This is something I constantly work on. I fall off plan, now and then and just have to remind myself that the deviation doesn't matter. That getting back OP and keeping on keeping on is what is important. After all, I want this to be a healthy, life long change, not a temporary band-aid fix.
