Several months for me. Years ago I was on Nutri System and did not eat one bite of anything off plan for a loooong time. I also exercised every day. That's the last time I was thin. The plan was too expensive to cheat.


Now, I can go a long time until something gets in the way..like a weak moment in a restaurant or when dining at someone's house who doesn't have anything healthy to offer. If I never left my house for a few months, except for grocery shopping,

I can calendar the end to my streak.


It is purely hormonal.
I know what / why I'm not doing what I need to,
But I lack the umpf to do it!


No so bad with eating, maybe an extra serving of something
or one day of real hunger.


But I usually go 5-6 days where I can NOT drag myself out the door to exercise.

Taking control is what it's about Aileen,
We sure don't want to deprive ourselves of tasty goodies
Small amounts, moderation & being sensible will/does work :)

Too bad about your workout buddy Kuan,
I agree it is so nice to have one though.
You did great then & now are back on track.
You should be pleased with how well you do.
You have lots on your plate yet know the importance of taking care of you.
Hope you know you really are an inspriation to many of us here :)

Kuan...do not know if you noticed it, but when you fell down and you did hurt yourself of course. The thing I am wondering is if you noticed that when you fell that you did not fall clumsily to really hurt yourself. When I fell, of course I got the bruises and scrapes, but I felt ok. The soreness I slowly worked and stretched and it feels better.


Just wondered if it is only in my head.


Hugs??? what do you think??

It does help to have a place like *here* to go Kuan,
Not just for that pick me up, swift kick
But to just know we're never alone.
I think most of us fall off once in awhile (called life)
But to know there is always someone to help dust ourselves off helps a lot :)

I agree Aileen,
I think when something like that happens ..
It is not as bad as it could have been if we weren't in the shape we are in :)

Well that makes good sense though Donna,
Something expensive like that we want our monies worth!
Wow you did very well going that long!
Hats off to you for that for sure!
Thos weak moments are far & few in between for you though.
At someone's house that is a tough one.
Too bad we can't take our own food/ treats
Now that would be no fun if you never left your house ..
I also believe a lot has to do with our age ::blush::
Least for me I think I am entitled to eat what I want when I want ..
Just not too much you know :)

Knowing the why's is half of it I think LIz,
You said you can go 5-6 days with no exercise ?
Or did you mean with exercising ?
Knowing, doing & making ourselves ..
All things we know better :)
