Hi busy momma, I am pleased to have received your buddy request! Do not beat yourself up over half a can of soda, I know it can be difficult to stick to our weightloss goals. Like you, my heaviest weight was 180 and last year I got it down to 154. Somehow, it "creeped" back up to 170 after 4th July and I was just disgusted at myself. But guess what, I have no one to blame as I was the one who was shoving the pizza, cakes, chocolate bars etc down my throat, no one else. I am now committed to this plan (Atkins) and I am hoping that I get it right this time. I have been turning down social events so that I am not tempted to tray, lol. Yesterday I attended a birthday party and the cake was cut right in front of my face; I did good though, I did not touch it at all, YEAH!. Anyways, I need support too so I am glad we are buddies. Stay in touch and keep strong. We did the damage separately but now we are in the same boat together. Talk soon.
