in
this case I will make and exception.
I thought you might find this a good opportunity to take another poke at
everyone in this NG, but now your being absolutely silly without know the
full facts of the entire situation.

It was my daughter's birthday and my birthday - they only come once a
year.

Although you might be sitting there thinking that I stuffed myself with
cake, well let me tell you that you are totally wrong.

I allowed for a 3oz piece of my cake and my daughter's cake - do you know
what 3oz of cake looks like? I most likely won't have any cake for
another
year now.

As far as treats go, yes I had a tiny little plain vanilla cone from Dairy
Queen. Have you ever seen a junior cone (usually for a little baby) from
Dairy Queen? I could have had a large dipped cone or a peanut buster
parfait or some other over indulgent offering - but I didn't!

What you need to realize is that you cannot paint me with your brush - I
didn't go up this week because of treats! I went up this week because of
eating too much (going over my point allowance). I am an extremely
healthy
eater and I don't care much at all for junk or treats or cakes,
etc.......but I do like to eat good food.

Some people's metabolisms are just very slow which means that they need to
either increase exercise or decrease calorie intake or both. Weight loss
is
not all about staying away from "treats" as you keep hounding in every
post.

Did you ever consider that maybe the other contributing factor to my gain
this week was that maybe all I really needed was a good ****???!!!!!!
Constipation will also make you go up the scale too you know!

Splurge, birthday, excuses, excuses ... we've heard it all before.

WW encourages its members to eat cakes, junk food, etc. as "treats".
That's
how it keeps members for years, and they never achieve normal weight in
the
end.

The human body is capable of safely losing 5-10 lbs of fat a week.

Cut the junk food completely and watch the pounds come off. No need for
excuses.

Hi All,

I think I celebrated too much last week having hit my 75 lbs loss goal
!!!!

When I left my meeting on Friday night, I knew I was going to splurge a
little but still try to stay within my points.
First thing I did was go home and then wrote out my plan for the next 3
days!
Monday was my daughter's Birthday.
Wednesday was my Birthday.

Here's how my week went..........I went up 1.4lbs but no surprise, I
knew
I
would - but planning ahead helped me keep things under control - it
could
have been much, much worse......!!!!

Think about it......we ate at a buffet on Friday for lunch.
On Saturday we had prearranged to take my daughter and her friends to
huge
Chinese/Mandarin Buffet - but I ate only crab legs and stayed away form
everything else!........well, I had some fruit and sorbet for dessert
;^)
On Sunday - we had my family over for barbecue and cake for my daughter.
Then Monday - we had my wife's family over for cake for my daughter.
Wednesday was my birthday and we decided at the last minute to go out
for
surf n turf but unfortunately the bruschetta bread came out with cheese
on
it and I indulged a bit
Yesterday we went out for lunch and I ate Canadian (peamale) bacon,
eggs,
homefries and toast
and during the week we went through Dairy Queen's drive thru 4 times!!!!
but
I only had a junior plain cone, while everyone else got a medium
chocolate
dipped!!!
Oh I almost forget our usual Saturday and Sunday morning breakfast -
we've
been doing this for approx. 20 years now and we always go out and I eat
Canadian (peamale) bacon and eggs, homefries and toast.........been
doing
all along and didn't stop just because I joined WW..........I just count
the
points and plan around it.

I'd say given the amount of eating out this week and party's and stuff,
I
think got off pretty lucky this week by only going up 1.4 lbs.- wouldn't
you
agree? LOL!!!!

Believe it or not, planning ahead really helped me keep things under
control - it could have been much worse.

This week will be much better - I lost the battle this week, but I'm
still
remaining positive and upbeat.

In case anyone noticed............I'm not changing my signature this
week
because I know I will get back down this week..........hehehe
