Well it was bound to happen... especially after my "oooooh Im not craving anything" post. I swear its my kids fault. LMAO! (jk) I have more trouble on the weekends when they are home, and here I am with kids home on spring break, and I LOST it today!!!! Did fine, till we were headed home from errands at 1 pm, drove through chick fil a to grab lunch for the kids, and MAN it smelled SO GOOD. So I started mentally having a pity party about why I couldnt have it, and how it wasnt fair, and bla bla bla.... so anyways, I got home and ate a few dill pickles to try and NOT eat anything else, but it didnt do it. I had an itch I had to scratch. :( unfortunately, the fat girl in me likes to RUN down the hill if I happen to step off course... so my one french fry I stole from Ben, turned into a few crackers, and then a handful of trader joes mini chocolate chip cookies, and then another cracker, and then a spoonful of peanut butter. I finally stopped myself there, but then wasnt hungry (and felt kind of sick) so I didnt eat my two afternoon medifast meals... ate dinner, and then decided "WELL IVE ALREADY F'D Up" cause thats how my fat girl inside thinks... so I decided to eat 2 fig newtons that Ive been lusting after for the past month when I give them to my kids for snacks, followed by a LARGE chunk of dark chocolate *sigh*
SHAME ON ME!!!!! Its alright though. Its not the end of the world. I will NOT give food any power over me. Its just food... food is food is food. The most it can do is cause you to not lose, lose a little, or gain... its just food! I am officially brushing myself off, and getting back on the horse. Tomorrow is a new day, with only medifast in it LOL!!!
The only thing wrong with it would be to beat yourself up over it. The past is the past you can't go back and change it. You just have to move on mama. Tomorrow is a new day.
ReplyDeleteThat's not that big of a deal, don't agonize over it, just start fresh tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWords are powerful. Try not to say it all came crashing down on you. You had one 'bad' day if you even want to call it that. Your attitude to get right back on track is what will get you to goal. I once had a ww leader who asked us all who would like to get to goal with no slipups or setbacks. Of course, everyone raised their hand. Her reply was that would be a shame because you'd never learn how to get through the hard times. People who have long term success with weightloss DO have setbacks and whoopses and they learn from it and this is what helps you learn how to keep the weight off for good!!! Ada
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments everyone! I'm totally back on it today. I honestly think it was something that needed to happen, so I could see how utterly not worth it it was. Adriana, I totally agree. I guess its more my perfect facade came crashing down maybe? Either way, I do know that slip ups are inevitable because yes, how else would we learn these lessons. Hugs and kisses everyone!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it Noelle, the fact you've had the will power to make it a month is amazing to me. I can't do one day! :)
