Set-back

Let myself down last night, succumbing to temptation I ate a whole pint of
Ben and jerry's ice cream by myself. Feeling depressed and losing
self-control is no excuse. I gave in and failed myself. The only good that
came from it was that I felt so sick afterward. Today I will try even harder
and resolve to be stronger. What gets me angry was the whole time I was
eating it I knew I was letting myself down and I did it anyway.

A step forward is recognizing the behavior and not letting it get in the
way of your many successes.

Next time, leave the B&J at the grocery store. Try the individually
wrapped treats instead.

Thanks. Good idea. In the past I would have just given in at this point.
But I keep telling myself that it's over, I took ownership of it and it
won't make me gain back 40 lbs. So let's just carry on strong from here.

whew a close call.

Well, in my opinion, the best thing to do is just pick yourself up and get
back on the wagon, so to speak. This will not be the last time you succumb,
I guarantee it. What will make the biggest difference is the recovery
time - will you wallow in self-pity, or will you rid your cupboards of
further pitfalls, add a bit of extra exercise in this week, and put it
behind you?

What was that stuff doing in the house anyways? Best to get rid of all
those "trigger" foods. For me, it's not ice cream, but homemade baked
goods. SO, I have to limit how often I bake, and how much I bake.

Joe, I've fallen a thousand times since I've started. The only thing
that means is that I know a thousand ways to get back on track. And
one swallow, even of Ben and Jerry's, will not a fat summer make.

Do or do not. There is no try.

You need to just forget about it and move on. Slip-ups happen -- and
you'll probably have another now and again; the key is to put it aside
and not beat yourself up, but just get right back to your new
lifestyle.

It is far behind me now. I am back on track.

I saw it in the store on sale and I passed it by only to turn around and
grab it anyway. My house been pretty sanitized though so I am ok their.

full steam ahead again!
