OK, so where do I begin...
I have learned a very valuable lesson about myself this holiday season. Although I have been successful overall with my weight loss (and I am not done yet!) There are a few things I have to still get under control. In a way I feel like I can compare my obsession with certain foods to that of an alcholic. If I stay away from it I do better than if I let myself have "just a taste"...one taste seems to lead to uncontrolled binges everytime. :(
I knew I was going to indulge of this holiday season and I was prepared for that...I gave myself a 3lb leway...well I got on the scale this morning and was a bit shocked, slightly disappointed, but not completely suprised that the scale showed I gain 7lbs!!!
I don't have any excusses to give, I made each and every choice to eat the wrong things and even when I was sick of the sweets and the eating, i seemed to do it anyways.
So, where does that leave me?...time to get back in control of my own mind, body, and choices. Back on track today, back to making the right food choices and hitting the gym "NO EXCUSSES!"
Yes I faultered, yes I have set myself back then where I want to be, but I am still better off than I was a year ago and i have learned a little something and I am ready to get back to being the real me, not the "holiday" version of me!
A set back isn't a defeat, disappointment isn't depression and indulgence isn't quitting entirely...today is a new day which leads to a new week, a new month and ultimately a whole new me!

First of all I applaud you for your accountability for your choices! And second, I suspect most of that 7 lbs is just water retention & will drop off quickly. I know that personally I had a little uptick as well so I didn't record my weight on Friday, but I also know that I've been slacking off with the water intake so I'm pushing the fluids this week! You're still doing great & you already know that a big part of this process is learning where your own weaknesses are. Learn from it & keep on truckin!

I agree with kstubble... from my friday morning weigh in to this morning it says i gained 6 lbs... so i'm pushing water and hope tomorrow i'll be down at least a good chunk of that ... didn't really track all weekend with all the craziness and had a lot of sodium than i'm used to these days. just up your water and u should see most of that weight gone within a couple days :)

Stacie, You are soooooooooooo much better then you were a year ago, Heck even 2 months ago. You understand what you did and why. Just learn from it BUT Remember it was the holidays and holidays are some splurging or different from our normal days. That is part of what makes them special. Call me on going to the gym! I would love to go - even if we just do cardio challenges. Example - 2.0 miles on treadmill, 40 flights on stairs and 3.0 miles on bike - who gets done the fastest.....
