Ugggh. I've fallen off the wagon this month something fierce. After I was sick for a few weeks in late Feb, I got out of the habit of checking in at 3fc. I was feeling pretty ragged, too, so I started feeding myself crap because I felt like crap.

Then I hurt my lower back two weeks ago lifting something WAY too heavy. So exercise has been out.

Then I started supplementing my packed lunch with snacks at work. (Junk food, plain and simple.)

And I've been having cocktails mixed with full-sugar sodas.

We've had lots of carry-out food all this month, and I have been eating until it's gone instead of eating until I'm full.

Basically, I've been on a two week binge. It stops now. Maybe I could have stopped it sooner if I came here to confess and put it behind me, but honestly I'm ashamed of how I've been acting. This is not how I reach my goals.

Not chastising myself, just forcing myself to be honest and "own it". And now it's time to move on.

Welcome back sweetheart!! Don't be to hard on yourself we ALL fall off the wagon and have to start at new beginning again. I am totally with you though being that this is TOM week I have so much water weight. Make sure you go back to drinking water that will help with the weight. If you need an ear please feel free to pm me.

I think it's a good idea you have on confessing things we've done so we can move on. I know I have a lot of confessions like the fatty pizza I ate.

Lynn, thank you. *hugs*

And stasiagurl, yep... sometimes we've got to just admit our failings and let them go, so they don't continue to hold us back. I know shame and guilt was continuing to hold me back, so I decided this morning I was just gonna come on here, own up, and stop letting it be a demon in the closet.

The important thing is that you are back!! That you aren't giving up.
Congrats on that!

Welcome back Tel! We all flounder a bit, the real sign of strength is that you're back and ready to move on.

Weighed yesterday... back up at 330. Hooboy...

Considering shifting my approach to something more "low carb". Not really sure. Just trying to be "not bad" this week until I go shopping on the weekend.

Thanks for the support, everyone.

Welcome back!

Telorida - sometimes we ride on the wagon... and sometimes we fall off. You have picked yourself up and got back on.. That is the most important part! Congrats!

The great thing is that you are back and are going to try again. Dont give up...you will get on track again and be very successful.

Welcome back!

TEL ~ ^I love it^ -- sooo, you had a bad month; we all have those up & down times. The important thing is to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and just keep on going. Glad you came back ...

Fall down seven times, get up eight!

I had a rough March myself, so I'm right there with you, but it's time to get back on the horse. We can do it.
