I'm sure it's coming back :) I think I saw it! :)  

Fluctuations are normal. 

It probably ran away with mine :( lol 

Love your attitude! 

There is a great book on it called "Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength" by Baumeister & Tierney. I read it a few years back and has totally changed what I thought about 'Willpower' and has helped me recognize when mine is fleeting. I've been thinking more and more as of recent that I need to reread it; meh. 

Mine also must have run away with yours and SuzM's. Not posting my weight until I get back to where I was. I AM back, though. During my run through the fields of tasty garbage, I occasionally became aware that some of these "treats" didn't taste all that good. I actually became aware that I wasn't feeling good, was going through bouts of low mood (from the blood sugar swings) and feeling despair. Have I learned my lesson? I will believe it when I can have an out-of-bounds meal or snack and not have it turn into a free-for-all for a week or longer. Time will tell if I "got it" this round. 

I have some extra #throwssomewillpoweryourway 😷😷 

Thanks, everybody! Thanks for the recommendation, FROSTY. Ironically, it was already sitting in my audible wishlist, so it looks like I'll be listening to it soon. TRACKIN64, those sugar-induced mood swings make it so frigging easy to just keep sliding and sliding, don't they? Ultimately, I believe HCB -- "Fluctuations happen" -- but it's a struggle for me take that to heart. I'm like a light switch, either a highly disciplined monk or a raving lunatic. I will say, however, that tracking my ups and downs have given me some insight into patterns and have helped me to see things more clearly. That's why I am recording my glitch weight. It's embarrassing and frustrating, but I know that it'll come off quickly, and then in the future, when I mess up again, I'll be able to look back at this and hopefully buckle down that much more quickly and confidently. Thanks, POOHLE, for throwing me some willpower. I think it actually hit. I'm feeling much more together today, and I'm excited to get back on track.
