I feel like I needed to share that I took the weekend off from my diet. I have had some treats all along but this is the first time I have taken entire days off and ate what I wished without counting. I have been at a plateau for a few weeks and after becoming so frustrated, I decided to try the old trick of eating large for two days then dropping my calories down. This may be a bad idea and I could regret it If I am honest with myself, this was not the only reason. I guess after six months, I was becoming increasingly frustrated with feeling deprived and lately I have felt like slipping up but I didn't give in. I keep reminding myself that I am getting close to goal and any weight loss will show much easier now. I am so afraid of throwing it all away, as I have never stuck with anything hard this long before.
This weekend was a celebration for my 9th wedding anniversary. I don't feel I did horribly, It could have been worse! Possibly around 2000 - 2300 calories yesterday and about 1800 today. I did opt for Subway last night in place of the KFC that I have been craving for months (it used to be my junk of choice). I wanted to make my "free dinner" count but I didn't want to be sick from grease either. There was one apple fritter donut involved LOL, a bit of chocolate and some cheese. Today we had a picnic with a couple treats. I promise myself that I will be back on track tomorrow. This means dropping my calories to 1300 to 1450 range (was 1400- 1550), getting back on track with my Dr. Beck six week program, and exercising more often. I needed to come here and be accountable I still have this little nagging voice that I am scared I am going to slack off or screw it up somehow. Thanks for listening
