I know how you feel Shawna. I've been off plan for about 2-3 weeks now (YIKES)! I just started back today. I was also indulging in lots and lots of soda, ugh. It was like I was addicted LOL. Anyway, just wanted to remind you that this is only a temorary setback and you'll be back on track in no time and hopefully I will too!

I think what you said is right, it is like we are addicted! I'm sure I've mentioned that I work with drug and alcohol addicted women and I see SO many similarities between how they feel about drugs and how I feel about food. Anyway, another parallel is that we always talk about the difference between a lapse and a relapse. You had a lapse. Whether it becomes a relapse is a totally different question. And we all lapse sometimes.

Lord knows, I'm just starting to really be OP, my whole life has been a big ol' lapse. :)

Hi Shawna, I'm glad you posted about your difficulties before during and after vacation. You've been soooo successful that I'm sure you'll be able to draw on those successes to help you get thru this tough time.

These past few weeks I've been having problems too. When that happens I revert to what's comfortable. I tend to isolate, not share or look for support. It's hard to change even seeing everybody doing what I know I need to do. But I guess some of it IS rubbing off -I'm here now!! Your post helped me to understand we just have to pick ourselves up again and start again-the alternative is NOT what we want!!!

Oh, Honey !!! As I was reading your post I reminisced (sp?)about my stupid cake attack, and how all the sugar bloated me up almost two pounds...

Eight pounds may seem like alot, but if you start pounding the water and get right back on track, I bet it will be off in 7-10 days. Sh*t food IS an addiction, and it starts in the head (and travels directly to the ass), which is why I stood over the cake and frantically shoved it in my face, like it was gonna get up and run away. Good thing it didn't, or I would have chased the little f*%#@!$s down.

Vacation is hard, excuses are too easy, new foods are too tempting. I have faith that you will slap yourself back into gear and have fun with the new excercise tape.

Good thing you didn't eat Dexter ! LOL

I'm sorry for your gain, but your doing 100% better than I am. I think I would die without coffee in the morning and Mountain Dew all day long. I use food as a treat for myself. I don't have a weight problem now, but I can see my body taking revenge on me after I hit my 30th birthday (1yr and 1 month to the day). It happened to my father, so it makes sense to me that it will happen with me. Im terrified that I may have to start watching what I eat. I've been smoking for years and fail each time I try to quit. Im trying to point out how much more will power you show than I. I hope my intentions in this post are clear even though it was clumsily written. You should be congratulated for making it as far as you have. Keep up the good work and don't stress too much over a minor setback. It was a vacation after all. You are supposed to enjoy yourself to the fullest. no pun intended ;)

Shawna...

It's all good, as I always say. You had a great time, enjoyed yourself and didn't have a care for a week. Don't let a tiny step back rob you of the fun you had for a week. It's come off probably quicker than you think.

Think about the victory you will have a again!!
