I had to quote this because I am going through the exact same thing this week! I just reached my 5% last week too, and this week, I've been eating a lot more points in general, eating out a lot more, and indulging way more than I usually do! I haven't gone completely crazy or binged hard or anything, but I haven't been following the plan tightly like I know I should. Why is that??? Why are we self-sabotaging right after a great week??? I think it must be the fear of success or something! I'm up over 2lbs since last week, I'm sure part of it is water weight, but I just had a really un-healthy lunch, so I have three points left for the rest of the day! How do we flip our minds around to be excited and keep going after a victory vs. the negative talk!?

I wish i knew!! I have followed plan very well this week with weeklies left over but just not feeling it this week. It's like i can tell if i'm going to lose or not. Maybe it's because i've been down and out and like you said, the negative talk is creeping in this week. Hoping even for a 1/2 lb loss at this rate but am too scared to weigh myself, plus i get pissed off if i don't see what i want on the scale so i might as well wait and be frustrated once on Saturday lol!!! Maybe i'll be surprised! That would be nice!!
