I have been AWESOME at staying on plan, seriously, big pat on my own back because I never thought I'd make it this far. For some reason, everything just clicked. I've faithfully lost at least a pound, usually 1.5-2lbs every week even over the holidays.

But last night was just awful. I weighed in yesterday morning, and I was down 1.5lbs. It started out as "eh, I'll give myself a bit of wiggle room today." I had a few bites of popcorn when we went to Avatar (amazing movie, btw). A few bites turned into a few handfulls. After that, I just thought "well screw it, I'll just have a bad night this once." I ended up drinking several drinks after the movie, AND my friends convinced me to make chocolate cookies, so I had a few of those too. I didn't binge like I would have a few months ago, but I definitely had more than I needed to.

So now I just feel guilty. I am glad that I didn't get the same satisfaction of eating out of control that I used to. Eating cookies and drinking alcohol is SO not worth it. And I have a tummyache which is a good slap on the wrist, haha.

Back to plan for sure today. I'm trying not to be too hard on myself, but...I just feel like I let myself down.

It happens to everyone I think. Just hang in there !

It happens- but now you know how easy it is to get out of control

Like me- went on my business trip then got back and since then wasn't 100% on track with south beach phase 1- today I re-started over cuz the past 3 days I've had more carbs than normal (bad me).

As long as you get back on track you'll do fine.

Aw, well, even though you had a rough night, at least it wasn't as bad as it could have been! Sometimes I think we all need a few losses to stay on track - it's like a great sports team that gets beat by some unexpected team. It reminds them how they have to work hard, even if they're at the top. Way to get back on track the next day! =)
