Thanks Christopher! I did get back on the scales because I felt better today and was pleasantly surprised to see that the damage was less than what i had feared, i've been exercising away and so far i'm within my daily calorie range - that's a rare thing for me! thanks for your reply :)

Wow, I bet you cannot say all that on one breath! To me it sounds like you had a pretty good time breaking your diet! Do not worry about it, as long as you enjoyed yourself then so what, if you have to do a bit more excercise to get back to where you were then do it and get back on the scales now as you still might be the same weight and worrying for nothing!

Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful words, I really appreciate your care and support. Today I feel so much better, last night I worked out a bit and then ate some cheese, chicken slices and toast with butter, then went to bed, I had trouble sleeping and I woke up this mroning feeling anxious but I stretched and did a short work out and now I'm feeling positive. Thanks!

Hi misslogan. I know where you're coming from. I've been there so many times. What if? Just remember that you can't change the past. Getting down on yourself about it is only going to make it harder on you. Just keep telling yourself I cannot change what I've done but I can work hard to not let it happen again. Don't get down and don't punish yourself. You're only human.

Well, on Friday I decided to return to the fast break stage of the programme. Yes, I had made some progress, my fitness levels are improving day by day, and I have definitely cut down on snacking and bad food choices, as well as limiting my alcohol intake and stopping smoking. Today I just feel like absolute crap, I've tried to make myself feel better, I went to a funfair with my sister and one of our friends, I went cycling, I went for a walk, I gave myself a french manicure but I'm just too terrified to get on the scales, I know I've gained because my coat feels tighter and my bras don't fit. I'm basically back at my starting weight and I feel horrible. I feel depressed because i was doing so well, then I just slipped up, stopped drinking so much water, made bad food choices, ate late at night, didn't sleep enough, drank too much, missed out exercising a couple of days and just let this bad feeling totally get on top of me and crush me, I feel as though I'm back where I started but worse and my confidence is in pieces. My skin looks awful and I'm just not happy today at all. I also had a really horrible horoscope today that I would receive bad news from overseas and that a relationship I had faith in was coming to a sudden end, I don't even believe in horoscopes, but it really hurt me to read that. I'm just too scared to weigh myself so I can't start again because I'm just feeling really low and weak. I feel bad. Sorry for whining, I just need to get it off my chest. Thanks for reading.
