What’s the worst that can happen? – Now there’s a question for ya!
Gain weight… well, I thought that was the answer. For the better part of 6 months I fought w/ 5 lbs. Over and over again, wishing I could just somehow get the ball rolling again, I would strive to get back down under the 140 mark.
Left for vacation at 144 lb.
While flying down on the plane w/ my husband – we talked about ‘What’s the worst that can happen?’ if I choose to eat off my ‘plan’. I remembered something I was told back in April of 2010 before my vacation on a cruise. I was anxious then about Cruise Buffets, etc… and a very experienced Atkins follower told me to MAKE A PLAN!
Everything in life is open to change – dependent on your choices. If you have a plan, you’re more likely to stick to it.
So, I told myself – and my husband – Two times a week, I will pick one thing that day ‘extra special’ that I really want to have… and just have it. I will be good, and eat the rest of my meals, snacks, water, etc… just as I normally do, but when we have plans to go someplace special or do something different – I will incorporate my desire to have a drink, or a bag of popcorn, or whatever… into my two special times a week.
I highly expect there to be some ‘damage control’ in my future
But I will weigh in – and let you all know how it went.
If the worst thing that can happen is I had a blast, totally enjoyed my vacation, and I gained a few pounds that I know I can take back off… well then… maintenance land isn’t so bad after all!!!
Much love my friends, missed you all!!!
