Well, I am ashamed. I fell completely off the diet for a full week. Maybe you the reader will understand my problem. I can diet in very controlled situations, which is why I do very well Monday through Friday, but as soon as some schedule change comes into play, I am done. I ate out twice last weekend, not really by choice, but I still made no effort to control my eating at either meal. I ate so much that by Sunday I had said screw it and told myself “The diet starts again Monday!”….well, Monday came, and I realized I had to be at a business conference all week about 50 miles away. No meals planned, a long commute each day, and not getting home for dinner until 8 PM. Needless to say, I have not lost any weight, and though I haven’t weighed myself, I am guessing I’m right back where I started.
I promise I will post some Pics of my fat self by Monday, as I think they will help commit me, and I will start with the weigh in tomorrow! NOT MONDAY, there is no time like the present…Right?

Everybody falls of the wagon every once in a while. The important thing is to get right back on. Its what separates the weak fro the strong. Do you want to be weak? NO, you want to be strong!!!
That was my version of pep rally.

How funny that I came across this post today – check out my post “Falling off the Wagon” that I just wrote this morning (www.madmadelynne.blogspot.com) I know EXACTLY what you mean about schedule changes. For me, I can fall off the wagon simply because I’m nervous/unsure about an upcoming change. Screw waiting until I attend a conference; I stop my diet the day before because “I already know I’m going to ruin it at the conference.” Yes, very logical.
Keep at it!! Both you and SFF have inspired me to post my before pictures, although I’m dreading it. I’ll be back to read more later
