I've been a bad bad girl.... :( Don't be too mad at me. I didn't go on an all out three day weekend binge. I was good all the way until Monday (yesterday). Yesterday we went to eat at the mexican restaurant. I have been thinking about this for a long time so it was a planned cheat and not a spur of the moment, moment of weakness. I know I am not the kind of person to swear off certain foods FOREVER and I think it is important for me to learn how to be strong enough to have something I have been really really wanting for a long time and then be able to go back to being good again. Well I won't lie. The food was super yummy. I also had a coke and it was so good too but for the rest of the day I felt starved for water. I finished the day with a burger, fries & a chocolate shake.... That part I am angry with myself about. I was still full from my mexican dinner so why did I eat it? I ate it because I knew that it was my last few hours of getting to eat whatever I wanted. So I ate like an inmate on death row eating his last meal and I should have just had the mexican food and went back on plan immediately afterwards. I could have skipped supper because I was stil comfortably full when I started on the burger. I DO NOT regret eating the mexican food. I wanted it so badly that I was beginning to feel angry and resentful about my woe. For me, and I know we are all different, but for me anyways I feel like when I get to this point it's time for a little break. Please don't drop me off your buddy or anything, but I can't lie. The food was good, I enjoyed it, I do not feel guilty and I won't pretend that I do. I am so PROUD of myself for losing all of this weight. I know that nothing tastes as good as losing weight makes me feel and I am in no form or fashion giving up or changing my diet. Low-Carb, Atkins, whatever you want ot call it works for me and I'M BACK ON TRACK! Whoo Hoo!!! By the way.... my birthday is tomorrow and I still beat my first goal of 245 by my birthday - and then some. :D Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!!!

Ditto to Rebecca, congrats on the goal and getting back on track! I'm with you, about the food - I don't think you should feel guilty about the mexican. i personally think food is one of the greatest pleasures we've got, and no way am i going to give up some of my favorites for forever. but i think you've got it right, you do well, you stay on track and once in a while you enjoy yourself, i mean that's why we're getting healthy...so we can enjoy life! Don't beat yourself up about the burger, i mean, you're back with it today and what's important is you didn't just say "f this, i'm going to eat whatever since i blew it anyway" and that's huge. so, well done and have a absolutely fantastic birthday tomorrow!

What the heck kind of buddies would we be if we dropped you? We are here to support, motivate, and help each other and that means when we are doing well, but especially when we don't! Glad that you are back on track and hope that it doesn't cause you too many problems in the next few days. Just remember, it will probably take you about 3 days to get back into the swing of things. Good luck and glad that you had a great weekend. Happy, happy birthday, and congrats on making your goal!!

Girl don't I know it. So far so good though. I am about to go get lunch and I am going to have a smoked pork rib and some seasoned green beans. I am going to make sure to have lots of Atkins Friendly foods available and I know I won't deviate from my plan. I know this is how I want to eat for life and I will still splurge now and then but getting back on track for me is a huge accomplishment. I won't fail because this time I REFUSE to. :) Thanks for the support guys!
