Hey girls!!
SOOOO. I went out of town Friday right after work and was fabulous on Saturday. Planned on having a small slice of Nick's b-day cake. Didn't really dig on it so didn't eat it all. Was feeling pretty fabulous about myself UNTIL. This may shock you both but I'm an emotional eater. And a hormonal eater. And a cranky eater. And I was all of the above this morning from the get go. So I had fingers full of gross cake frosting, purchased peanut butter/chocolate frosted cookie bars from Dan's when I stopped to get milk on the way home from Logan this afternoon and didn't track any of it. My take away is that I'm still feeling sad and frustrated about the things I was feeling upset about earlier. I would have been better off with a Xanax. :-) I'm also taking away that just because I had a crap day food wise doesn't mean I'm "off" any program. I'm trying to make changes that I'll follow for the rest of my life. One of the trainers from the Biggest Loser said something like he worries less about what his clients have just eaten than he does about what they do next about it. SO with that said, tomorrow is a clean slate and I'm moving forward.
Hope you're all well!!

Annie, you are awesome! The fact that you can be honest with yourself AND us is HUGE!! I'm a feed my feelings kind of girl too so I completely understand. The fact that you have the courage to blog makes it clear you are not giving up, just having a day. We all have those. On a personal note, I tend to buy things that I think I want and then get in the car and think, ugh. Why did I do that? If you find yourself regretting a calorie purchase, give yourself permission to take a bite and toss it. It's taken me years, and I'm still working on it but sometimes you have to let yourself acknowledge when you don't want something. I used to buy a bunch of stuff and then feel like I HAD to eat it to either hide it or justify the expense. You don't, you're your own woman and we love and support you. Just bite and toss! 6.4 Lbs is a HUGE, HUGE win. When you're tempted remember just how good it feels not to eat the junk. I always feels so sick (because I have a remarkable capacity) after eating a massive indulgence. Then I stop and think, why do I let myself feel this way. I knew how this was going to be. Give yourself permission to feel awesome, because you are awesome!
