I can relate.
Last Monday I fell and injured my right knee on the ice. Since then, I have not been able to go to the gym while it is healing. It's getting there but could be another week. When I cannot go to the gym, I have a very hard time eating right. This past Thursday through Sunday, I went back to my unhealthy ways and gained some weight. However, yesterday I took out my food journal and went back to eating healthy. One day at a time!

I look at it this way...it took me years to gain this weight back...so as long as I'm moving in the right direction, that's the main thing.
It's challenging when I'm under work stress, am an emotional eater, and there's chips and other goodies in the house. I literally walked over to the counter, opened the box of Girl Scout cookies, looked at them, closed it, and walked away today. Instead I had a yogurt. Small victory, but still a victory.
