Last couple of days have been dieting-hell. I was on a mission to self-destruct. Work stress and personal tensions made for a double whammy of utter devastation and "hate my life" syndrome.
Carbed up well and good yesterday, and included the old demons like a muffin for breakfast, breadsticks for lunch, vending machine attack on peanuts, and 2 bags of CHIPS!! Started to get pretty full and bordering on disgusted halfway into my 2nd bag of chips, so luckily could curb this tide....I could have gone and worked out, but didn't. Like I said, when self-flagellation comes calling, all sensibilities and good habits fail.
Should I feel horrible, worried, and all that stuff? Actually, no! Surprisingly, the scale was VERY forgivign this morning, and showed a small LOSS, instead of gain!! Go figure! So i'm going to use this example from the scale and do myself some forgiving and favors..As a result, I don't feel bad about yesterday. I also don't feel worried that I am back to doing some things that were my downfall so long ago--habits that I thought had been overcome forever. Nay, not so. I'll never be out of the woods. However, what's different this time around, through all the practice of the last few months, is that this time I want to curb the damage ASAP, and return to my highway to health right away. I don't want to put any more junk in my body, and I want those good feeligns that come from a good workout.
Thus,as a result, today has started off well. Atkins bar for breakfast, and a green salad for lunch (with egg, shredded cheese, and ff italian dressing @ 5g of carbs).
As Amryk said, I have two months left before my special year ends. Time for the final push! Give it all I got!!!December's a very exciting month, and I want to be READY for it!!! So, people, LOOK OUT!!!! THIS TIME I MEAN BUSINESS!!!!!

WAY TO GO! I'm proud of you for you have come a long way. Half the challenge of losing weight is changing your mindset, and learning to let it go when you get off track. There will always be times when we get off track. But it's okay as long as you keep realizing that you can get back on the wagon and you'll be okay! Good job! 08 has been great for you. Almost 30 pounds down! :)

NICE JOB on learning to FORGIVE yourself !!!! That is the key... I had a hard week too, with Halloween and remnants of Birthday Celebrations, it was HORRID ! However, I know I splurged on some malted milk balls and a Reese's or three, but I ate pretty moderately... my scale was up .2 (which was eye opening since that was the first time in my weight loss journey that I had an UP than down...) ;)
Needless to say, it's all about forgiving ourselves and not falling back... which I doubt we will at this point !
CONGRATS on the downward spiral ! KEEP IT UP GIRLFRIEND !!! YAY !

Singing: 'That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh, I li-ike it uh-huh, uh-huh!' You go, girl! You're sounding fierce! Our new, healthy selves don't let the bad stuff go on for too long. Great job stopping the splurge and re-starting the ATTITUDE!

Just goes to show that your "carbing" wasn't so bad after all. Keep up the great work though Amee... 08 might well have been great, but O9 we're going to get you crossing that line! ;o)
