Last Night Was A Bad Time For The Boards To Be Down

[becka]

I was REALLY wanting to give in to my food cravings so my plan was to get on WISH as soon as possible last night to remind myself why I did not want to give into those cravings.

Well I was beyond stressed but I finally had DS down for the night, I sit down at my computer and the DIS is down!!!! This is not good...well at least is says it is only for 10 minutes...I can last that long. I kept checking and NOTHING!! I desperately head over to chat to see if there are any WISHers there but there is no one around at all. I wait and wait and wait until finally when I check about 8:30 the boards were back up. THAT WAS THE LONGEST 10 MINUTES OF MY LIFE!! (However, I think it may have really been about an hour and a half before they came back .... why did it say 10 minutes? )

Somehow I managed to survive but it was a bad night to find the boards down and I don't know how I managed to not head from the fridge right then and there. I sometimes don't always realize how important this board is for me to stay on track.

Great job on not giving in. Sorry the boards were down for longer than expected, I rarely get on at night....way too busy. My solution at night, especially if the girls are in bed is to go to bed myself before I do myself in.

Must have been something in the air last night! I was feeling the same ... at least when I'm on the boards, I am downstairs, no where near the loaf of bread I desperately wanted to eat! So picture me eating cucumbers soaked in vinegar at 10:30 last night in my bed just to keep me from the bread The good news is, it worked.

Congrats, Becka for not heading to the fridge!

Becka I'm glad you didn't give in to those cravings. You don't realize how much these boards mean to you until they are down.

Mary Liz I also eat cucumbers in vinegar when I'm craving something I shouldn't eat. I need to go out and get some more b/c I'm all out.

Becka! Look how strong you are, sweetie. This is wonderful to hear. You felt stressed and you wanted to go offplan and your emergency back up wasn' available, yet you did <i>not</i> go off plan. You stayed strong and determined and on plan all by yourself. I'm so proud of you, cutie.

Mary Liz, I'm proud of you too. You ate cucumbers in vinegar instead of that bread (do you add a little sweetener when you prepare those?). Very clever!

You should both be very proud of yourselves. This is an excellent sign of personal strength. Isn't it good to know that you have what it takes to succeed even when WISH isn't available to help you?

The withdrawal is terrible, though, isn't it? I hate it when the DIS is down. I think the message said only 10 minutes so that we wouldn't all panic

Becka, I am so proud of you for not giving into those cravings!! Way to go!! You are such a strong person and know how to stay on track!!

I was going to suggest that you come into chat instead when the boards are down, but last nights topic was dining around disney, so I am not sure that would have been much help!!

Hugs Becka!! Great job!
