**Sigh**

It all started Thursday. I turned 21, and I felt that I should be able to celebrate. Just because I'm not tied to these foods anymore doesn't mean they don't exist, and I shouldn't be able to enjoy them. However, the term moderation escaped me.

The day started right. I made a light but healthy and filling breakfast. But...I had to disappear from the kitchen to take care of one of the children. Out of sight, out of mind, I guess, and my husband ate both his AND my portions. There was none left, and I didn't want to think about it, so I didn't make anymore.

Then we played DDR. I didn't feel to hungry, so I decided to wait for lunch. I drank a ton of water, and was proud of myself.

We went out to shop for a bunk bed for our two oldest girls. I got hungry while we were out. We came home, and I threw myself on cookie dough (my mom made me birthday cookie bars). Then, I drank some Cherry Pepsi. Chocolate...

A nice light lunch.

Some of the completed cookie bars. Some more pepsi. I know there was more crap, but I don't remember.

Yesterday, there was more cookies, some cake, some more pop, some milk......

Today was much of the same. But I kept myself away from the pop.

Oh yeah, and there was some Steak n' Shake on one of those days. That's been haunting my stomach for days.

My punishment for all this? Halted weight loss, bloatedness, sugar headaches, intestinal distress, and near constant belching. All in all, not worth it.

Now that I have cleared my conscience and confessed my sins...

I have not failed, I have just been tripped up. Tomorrow is a new day and the start of a new week. I will start right now and make sure tomorrow is the best day it can be.

Oh sweetie, tell me who hasn't done what you went through? HUH??? I can bet dollar to dollar every single person in this weight loss site has done it and more. I know because I used to do that. Okay, you confessed, so start all over.

You should be proud of yourself for being you. You're too hard on yourself first of all....I guess we should be when we have fallen. But girl, get up off you butt and tell yourself "I CAN DO IT!!!!! Stand tall, get motivated, inspirated, do whatever it takes to win this war of fat!! I have fallen about a month ago...I have began a whole new start. I lost 6 pounds...I know I lost more since.....and I have the right attitude to continue.....a POSITIVE attitude. Gosh, wish I lived close by to get you more motivated...I do get a bit pushy.. LOL...

I am here for you as well as everyone here. Stay strong!

We are all human and make mistakes.

All month long I have been eating well and exercising everyday until last Wednesday when I was so tired from school that I slept all day missed my work out and woke up so hungry that I went out for fast food. One day wouldn't be bad but I haven't gotten back on track since. I have used these last few days to completely binge and not exercise. I have weigh in tommorrow and I am afraid that these four days will negate all the progress I have made. I guess I am beginning to feel the frustration.

It's okay!! Don't let it get you down. It happens to everybody. I just got back on track this past saturday after 4 days of binging too!! Just pick yourself up and start fresh!! Don't beat yourself up over it. You can do it too!!!
