That's so frustrating that you have gained instead of losing! I understand being sick ... I was doing well until yesterday when I felt like a cold was coming on. I wanted something to drink other than water ... ended up with an orange juice. Not so bad, especially for the cold, but it put me on a downward spiral. Three chocolate chip cookies was the worst, then pita with hummus (should have had the veggies), then hamburger with cheese and 1 piece of whole wheat bread as a bun.
This morning I woke up and out of rebellion, I think, got breakfast from McDonalds. I was so tired because my kids got me up at 6:00 for the 5th day in a row. So I decided McDonalds would take care of it. And then I had about 5 pieces of chocolate that I brought back from Europe for the people in my office. But lunch and dinner were much better--salad and felafels for lunch and a blueberry shake for dinner.
I guess it's not so bad, considering that I still ate less than I would have 2 months ago. And I'm amazed that I really don't want the sugar.
I could use an exercise boot camp--I just need to make it a priority.
Check in-even if you aren't doing well. I read other places too, just to get some inspiration. There are so many people who have done amazing things, and you can too!
