Nice to meet you all and thanks to the creators of this site for making it possible.

Welcome! Aviationchick,

I'm new too. Kinda overwhelming with all the forums. Veterans, do people stick to one or two places and have their support there or is everyone just all over the place?

How do you get those cool tickers?

Thank you for asking.

I'm actually not doing all that well today. I went waaay over board last night. And the worst part when that happens is I don't even know why I do it. I know that if I stay on plan I will lose weight. I know it before I mess up. I know during that the sooner I stop the less damage it will do. And I know after that if I get right back on track I can start to make progress again. So why do I still do it, and let it continue, even though I don't even really want to?

I'm trying to pace myself today and not let the mistakes of the past few weeks impact my outlook on what I can accomplish now and in the future, but it is affecting my mood and that always makes it harder. I think I'm also very close to my TOM which can't be helping any.

I didn't do too much damage to myself but I could have easily.

It's good you got through it without too much damage! Being home alone is sometimes the hardest time to get through temptation.

Olivia,

When I said "too much damage".... well I did SOME damage yesterday. Today I woke up this morning late, dragged the Wii Fit board out and paid my dues for 37 minutes.

I don't know why we get off track-those who have been on this journey longer than me may know the answer, but I do know that today is a new day and we have the chance to make it any kind of day we want.

I have some flowers in my front yard that I'm going to bring in the house as a present to myself for not letting what I did yesterday dictate who I am. Olivia would you like some flowers? I think you have earned them for struggling but still here and fighting the good fight.
