Well chickies, I have some bad news to announce...

The past month I've only been able to work out at most twice a week, already a damaging change to my body as I like to work out at least 5 days a week. But after hitting a plateau in the SB diet, be it riddled with cheats, I have decided to go off the diet for two weeks. I am sitting for two bar exams next week and find solace in the occasional hot cocoa or plate of pasta. Or for example today, the corn muffin at lunch and godiva gift from my coworkers.

However, after these weeks of torment are over I plan on starting back on the lifestyle change I want to implement. Will you all be there to help me get back on, really on?

Needing your support,
Shannon

You may find that giving yourself permission to go off may make it easier to stay with it.
I found that when I give myself permission to eat things that aren't "official, " I don't need as much to be satisfied. If I sneak and say it doesn't matter, (some how if no one sees you, it doesn't count ) I tend to continue eating and nothing satisfies me.

Good luck on the boards! We all know how important they are!

You all are so great, thank you for your support. Keep your fingers crossed and say a little prayer to the Virginia and Connecticut Bar Exam gods. I look forward to digging my feet in the sand with ya'll!
Have a wonderful day, I'm off to study.

PS- Despite the Godiva indiscretion I think I lost weight.
