Most of the food consumed on Sunday and then the stop Tuesday night was all out of the house (take-out, dining).<br /><br />@Sunnydaze - It helps having the support team and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your comments. Thank you.<br /><br />@Roz - I'm trying :)<br /><br />@Cammy - It is definitely not fun to keep having to re-lose weight after a gain. I want to make forward progress.Losing The Rollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16964981216899599058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503444832032559761.post-13426030581540591592013-06-19T16:13:10.709-07:002013-06-19T16:13:10.709-07:00Oh, I recognize that post-weigh-in "treat&quo...Oh, I recognize that post-weigh-in "treat" trap well! It can be a tough cycle to break out of. For me, separating weigh-ins from any splurges worked nicely. I had already committed to having a once-a-month splurge meal, so whatever I chose for a meal after weigh-in was still on plan. I was surprised how quickly I made that transition, to be honest, but I think I was helped by the fact that I weighed in right before a significant workout, and I was still carrying that endorphin high after. I didn't want to "waste" all that hard work!

Instead of beating yourself up over what you ate be glad that you now realize that you shouldn't be eating this way and that was want to change. Baby steps. I've had to look at myself many, many times to find out why I self-sabotage. You are making progress, whether it seems like it to you or not. Keep pushing forward! :)Sunnydazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853228718149483837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503444832032559761.post-67461366869716736282013-06-19T04:57:56.585-07:002013-06-19T04:57:56.585-07:00Everyone above is so right and with the correct an...Everyone above is so right and with the correct answers. Just remember you are the one in control. Just one step at a time. Right now just try for one day for success. The next day take a moment to reflect on the previous day. Maybe just journaling for a few days will help you stay on track. Also these junk food you ate, are they in the house? Get rid of them, it will help tremendously with temptation.

This doesn't own you. You are stronger than this. It's a war we have to fight every single day, probably for years and years to come. But you WILL win.

You do know what you have to do, but I understand addiction very well - changing it doesn't happen overnight.

Blogging is so important,...I KNOW you can do this. Blogging is so important, and I thank you for your honesty.<br /><br />Sometimes one has to hit rock bottom. What will be your rock bottom, I don't know. It's possible to do it otherwise, but you really have to decide why you keep disappointing YOURSELF. Don't worry about us. It's about YOU. Why are you sabotaging yourself? Is it safer to stay where you are comfortable, instead of stepping outside your comfort zone? What will happen if you get hungry or say no to yourself? You have to care about yourself enough to say no to yourself. It really is just that simple. We have to learn to stop knee-jerk reacting to the little stresses OR temptations of life. Because they will never ever go away. <br /><br />Here are two of my most favorite quotes, relating to dieting and good health (well, to me they relate):<br /><br />"Self-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself." ~ Abraham Heschel<br /><br />"Discipline is remembering what you want." ~ David CampbellGwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386517479350871434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503444832032559761.post-43688340434959108052013-06-18T18:18:42.752-07:002013-06-18T18:18:42.752-07:00Hey, I've had a rough few days myself. But you...Hey, I've had a rough few days myself. But you know, you didn't get to the weight you are in a few days, you won't get to the weight you fear even more in a few days, and you won't lose everything in a few days. This is moment by moment. Learn from the ones where you went off your path, why you went there, what could you do differently, then "bless & release" (I'm not religious, but I like the sentiment. The whole "OK, this happened. This is all I can do with what happened. It's time to set it free and move forward.")<br /><br />Sometimes, when I'm running it's really hard. I'm not a natural runner, I have to fight for every step. But when it gets bad like that I say to myself "I don't have to think about the whole run, just the minute I'm in. Run the minute I'm in." You don't have to think about all the days ahead of you that you need to get right. You only have to get RIGHT NOW right. That's it. What came before was before. If you rocked it, you need to say "I was a success! That was a success!" but then you need to look right where you are now.<br /><br />Live the day, the hour, the MEAL you are in right now. It's not everything you have to get right all at once, just live the minute you are in and make the choice in the moment before you. You'll get to later, right when you are supposed to. <br /><br />You got this. :) And putting those right choices together, in a big stack, that's the only thing that yields results. Collect the right choices, one at a time.Kyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496930376646300796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503444832032559761.post-40025100981898756322013-06-18T18:11:28.558-07:002013-06-18T18:11:28.558-07:00It's hard to break those bad habits. Don't...It's hard to break those bad habits. Don't beat yourself up about it. It seems that you're cognizant of the fact that you need to change...so maybe you can do one change a week and try to make it permanent?<br /><br />I tried to make sure there was a fruit or veggie in every meal I had. I found that if I did this, I was less likely to pair that with pizza, for example. <br /><br />I love your blog. You can do it!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10068869283244806782noreply@blogger.com
