In the last two weeks I've regained TEN POUNDS.

Mary,
Have you ever journaled your food? I don't do it all the time, but every time I go back to it, it really helps me see exactly what I am eating, and how I am deceiving myself.

And on another note - and this isn't easy either, but I'm pretty sure the journey is easier if you focus on loving yourself...Let go of the yesterdays and make a list of the good things about you and move on.

((((Mary)))),
How upsetting it is to see the numbers go back up! I think once we see a lower number on the scale we feel like we own it, like we've arrived somewhere. I always forget how fleeting it can be until I squander it somehow. I hate to sound like a broken record, but I swear by FitDay.com to help me stay on track. It is so much more effective for me than standard journaling. FitDay does the calculations so it's harder to fudge. It also really helps to see how much better a good day looks nutritionally than a bad day.

Now, I need you to forget the "H" word when you refer to yourself! You've stumbled, you haven't done anything wicked or evil! I KNOW you can get back on track. You have too much life to look forward to!

Hugs,
Annie

Mary, I'll give you both!

A ((hug)) Cuz I know you've had a rough time lately and are feeling pretty down on yourself. I agree that hate is a strong word to use against yourself, but I do know how you feel!

And a ^Kick^ in the butt cuz you need it! you have big things ahead this year and you need to get cracking! ;-) A good fridge restocking is a great way to start. Sometimes when I get eating bad again I get frustrated till I look around at my choices and it hits me. I can't eat well if there are no healthy choices in my house.

Here's hoping this rut is short lived and you are back on plan with renewed spirit in no time!
