Good job. I have a hard time too. The only time anymore I ever slip off the wagon is when I go out or hang around my fiancee actually, which is thankfully just once a week now... although I'm moving in with him in a month :O. Today I have to go to a Sundae Social for work... which a year ago would have been awesome... but today it's going to be awful. I'm helping put it on so I have to go. I don't want to be that person who doesn't eat anything, but really, ice cream is a slippery slope for me. My plan will be to eat really good today, and have a SMALL bit that I sort of snack on so it looks like I have more.

i diddddd it! i went out with one of my best friends (who is very supportive of me whether i'm dieting or not--as are all of my friends, which is awesome) and had 3 glasses of wine (=6 weight watchers points... woot), a small salad with just avocado, lettuce, tomato, and some dressing on the side, which i didn't really use b/c i feel like avocado is so tasty in and of itself that it just made the salad fine, and a small piece of bread. and then i came home, and now am parked on my couch watching Juno (on Oxygen right now in case anyone's in need of some TV action). annndddd tomorrow AM = my favorite spin instructor at my gym, who teaches both the 9:30a and 10:30a class, and i usually take both (which means i should start pounding some water). today was a good day, and i hope tomorrow will be even better. yay for small goals being achieved!

cheers

yay! Congratulations! What you did is no small thing. Keep it going!
