As you saw and commented on, thank you, above I did cheat on my birthday. It is a learning process. You are far more disciplined than I, staying home 6 1/2 weeks, so you have the willpower and discipline to go out and back to your entertainment lifestyle just (again) in a different controlled manner. I know you can do it!!

I plan on avoiding any social event as much as possible until goal...then it will be time to learn how to add it back....I just want to lose these 76 pounds quickly or as quickly as possible and I have heard that once in maintainence once a week or even twice a week...you can have cheat days but you just have to be faithful the rest of the time...I am so looking forward to that day. I struggled yesterday...I kept talking about going out and doing something fun...first real mental struggle day. I am nervous about Friday night...I will post on Saturday to let you all know how I did.

Weigh in tonight and I'm so scared I've gained everything back!
I really don't trust myself in any social situation...I can be very weak. I figure that 4-5 months of boringness is better than 76 extra pounds. But I spent alot of time yesterday bumming about all the fun I am missing, but my hubby kept saying it is temporary....you will feel so good at the end and the end will be so much faster....ah yes....back to boringness. Keep up the good workOriginally Posted by RhondaLynn
darbs7, I guess I just need to stay home like you do ~ because when I go to social things, I'm cheating. I do want the weight off but I love love love my active social life. But it's my social life that has put all of this weight on. I need to remember that!Weigh in tonight and I'm so scared I've gained everything back!
