How do you like that word?? I came up with that myself!

I've been back from WDW for a week now. I have been reading posts, but I couldn't bring myself to post until today.

3 1/2 weeks ago I asked for 3 weeks of pixie dust to get me through relatives visiting followed by WDW vacation. Week 1 I lost 3 pounds. Weeks 2 & 3, I maintained. This should make me happy, but it hasn't.

I did cheat some on vacation, but not terrible. But I've had a hard time getting back into the groove. And my maintaining started to feel like a stall. Even though I was trying to maintain.

Finally, on Wed it was my DDs 3rd birthday. We made a cake for her. And I ate at least 2 pieces!!! I couldn't believe it!! It wasn't even good cake. But I couldn't stop. I knew I had to totally recommit myself. I couldn't figure out how, but then I decided to start journalling. That really helped yesterday. My positive attitude is back!!

So I do hope to be positng again. Even though I seem to have less time during the summer on vacation than during the school year when I actually work!!

{{{{Hugs}}}} PAdisMOM. I'm glad to see you back with us!

Don't be so hard on yourself! You lost 3 pounds and then maintained that loss through relatives visiting and vacation! I think that it great!!!

So you ate 2 pieces of cake. Forget about it! All that matters is what you do from this point forward. We all fall off the old wagon every now and then--you just have to hop right back on and keep riding! And good for you for journaling! I find that helps me tremendously. If I know I'm going to have to write it down, I think twice about eating it!

I'm looking forward to seeing your posts on WISH! Let us know how things are going for you.

You did great on your vacation!!! You rewarded yourself with the cake but found it wasn't worth it. I did that the other day and journaled that so I would remember that I didn't even enjoy the cheating.

Now move on today is a new day and we're all here to help!!!
You CAN do it!
