Ok, so it seems I have been REALLY lax about EVERYTHING I said I was going to do. It's totally my fault. My old self wanted to be in charge....the girl with the excuses. "I'm too tired. I'm too busy." And I let her rule. I ate what was quick and convenient. I'm sure there are people out in the world who have no idea what its like to have a power struggle going on inside your own head. I KNOW what is right but its SO much easier to give in.

I am having a week. According to my calendar my Aunt Flo will be here next week and all I seem to think about is food!!! OK, so I haven't been SO weak that I am skipping tracking my calories. I just feel that the calories have been out of control. 2 out of 4 days out of control. 4 servings of Cheetos in one afternoon out of control. The only thing keeping me from eating anything else right now is this blog. 
I think it's really the stress of having such a great week last week. I lost 3.5 lbs. It's that fear that if I don't do as well every week I'll give up. A constant need for affirmation that I'm going in the right direction. I love SP!!! Everyone needs somewhere safe they can come to to let their feelings out.

How are you doing today? Yup, Cheetos will be eaten and there will be days where you want to stick your head in a hole and you might even question your own sanity on this journey. It's all about learning, doing and being on this journey to wellness. Report Inappropriate Comment |

Hang in there! We will all have weeks like this. Push yourself onward. Everyone has ups and downs, ins and outs. One week may be great, the next not so much. Just keep Sparkin my friend. If you eat a bit too much at one meal, make the next one better.

Love that quote! hang on there girl! Every week will not be a 3-4lb loss, don't set yourself up like that. Any loss, even a sideways shuffle means you're still on the right track! If you gain a little, you just gotta tweak it to get it back off. Try not to be so hard on your self, you're doing great! *hugs*

I Know EXACTLY what you are talking about, cos I find myself doing the same thing..a kind of self sabotage! Consciously tell yourself that what happens on the scale next week doesn't matter....it's what happens over the course of the month. I try to deliver myself from ANY expectations, and then if I see a loss, I am pleasantly surprised. Easier said than done, I know, but this is one of the strategies (I try) to use. Hang in there, and keep reaching out when you find yourself weakening ..come blog, or send an email, or read success stories, or anything to get your mind off the food.

I am slightly apprehensive. I've picked where we are going to eat but have been struggling with their menu. It's not that they don't have good food. I wouldn't eat there if they didn't. I just keep looking at the nutritional information. One of my favorite dishes has 2899 mg of sodium! Yeah, that's NOT a typo. 
That's JUST the entrée....that doesn't include any sides. 
The scary thing I have found is that is not the highest sodium dish on their menu. 
I looked up the calories and almost started heaving. 700 plus calories for something that wasn't the least bit yummy. I will now have to drink a couple of gallons of water in order to counteract the salt in it (1950 mg). 
I have learned a valuable lesson. NO LUNCH ON THE RUN!
