Oh how the best of intentions can backfire. Okay, so I took my wonderful low carb cheesecake this weekend. And then I ate EVERYTHING else that I shouldn't have!!! Seriously, I did great on Saturday until my sister and her kids wore me out and then the cable tv went out so I was forced to drink heavy amounts of alcohol in order to entertain myself and then I woke up this morning and all I could think of was buffet....buffet....buffet. So we went to the buffet at the casino and instead of spending all my money like a normal person in the casino, I got my money's worth at the buffet....I'm telling you...those people LOST money on me today. The fried shrimp is what got me. There are shrimp beds that are laying empty some place in the world because of me today.
However - there is a bright side. And it is the fact that when I got home tonight and was actually hungry again, I started making a regular low-carb dinner as usual. As I sat eating my steak salad, it occured to me what I did. And I realized - holy crap - I think I'm in this for the long term. I mean, without even making a conscious decision about this, it didn't even occur to me to quit. I just went on. How great is that???

LOL....Pagey, you crack me up! In your defense, i'm sure that another school of shrimp have filled the empty shrimp beds that you created!! you made a great point though...GOOD decisions are being made for you by your sub-conscious, (thank God! LOL) and you'll evidently experience a full recovery within a day or two! Yessssss!!!!! :) How great is that you say? It's pretty darned GREAT!

Paige, thanks for your support for the weekend. I, too over indulged in alcohol Friday & Saturday. I did pretty good on food until my friends made sausage gravy & biscuits Sunday morning. Boy did they taste good. I came home and went for my salad too. But today I took my granddaughter who is 4 to Micky D's. I did choose grilled chicken but had to have french fries too! lol. But back on track this evening. You are doing Great too!

Oh how we have all been there. Damn those delicious little shrimp, the taunting bastards!! Chinese buffet, occasionally I dream of you.
You are right back on track, which is amazing. Because I know I have had slip ups that turned into complete downward spirals. When I have to hit bottom again b4 I realize that I am out of control. The scale moves, but not in the right direction... re-losing weight you have already lost is incredibly depressing lol. Good luck to you my friend and kudos for getting back on track.
