Maybe you weren't at your best over the weekend but, that doesn't mean that you can't redeem yourself during this week. Like you said, today is Monday. You are still going through Monday, the sun is still out. There is nothing that stopping you from taking a 30 minute walk. There is nothing stopping you from making Monday your Fresh Start day. Like the singer Aaliyah would say ... "dust yourself off and try again." So all I can say is that make 2006 about doing what's best for you emotional, mental, and physical wise. You are your top priority and I'm sure you are going to do well this week. It doesn't matter what others (co -workers or your Ex) think, all that matters is how you feel about yourself. And I have complete faith that you are going to be just fine.

Starlet that is excellent advice!!! I couldn't have put it better!
Finn: I had the same weekend as you (w/ the exception of hooking up w/ an ex, although, I've been there and done that) If you read my post from yesterday you'll see that I, too, drank too much, and ate like I shouldn't. The point is, you have to regain the control. You're the only one that can do it. I know it feels as if you've messed up the entire diet, so you want to throw your hands in the air and say to h** w/ it, but don't. You've come this far and you can do it! If you need more of a push, read back to the response I received from DaniDido, she had some excellent advice that helped me "snap out of it"
This is bound to happen to all of us at some point in time, at least you took the time to come online and post your feelings!!
Good luck!
Chantal
