Fell off the wagon in a major way this week!

After 9-10 months with no sweets, my daughter had a party last Saturday and someone brought a whipped cream and chocolate cake confection. I said: "can I have one bite?" to my daughter. Like I can ever eat one bite of a sweet anything.

I then ate a whole one myself. Not a whole cake! I must clarify that.

It was in a cupcake kind of wrapper but I wouldn't put it past me to eat a whole cake, if given half a chance.

Have obsessed about it all week and gained three pounds on top of it all.

(I followed up the cake-thing with three pieces of Sees candy as a chaser).

Back on the wagon I go.

I figure I will stop thinking about it in two weeks if my past record holds true.

I think holding ourselves accountable is much different than beating up on ourselves for a slip up. The holidays are rough enough, so be gentle with yourselves.

I am enjoying myself today, and then heading back to the gym tomorrow.

Tomorrow commences Operation LGN: Look Good Naked.

It's not a diet; it's a butt and gutt reduction plan.

Hello everyone!

how many are starting off the New Year with a plan?

i'm still working the old plan myself.

down a pound at weigh in this morning.

Total 14.5 so far.

Today's menu includes lots of carb (what i am avoiding) so wish me luck!

Happy New Year Healthies!

Happy New Year everyone.

Dee that is great progress. Congrats.

Well I still was able to maintain my weight loss for 2012 with only carbing out a little after Thanksgiving and then putting 10lbs back on, losing 5 now I am back to goal. Yikes this is hard stuff. So that goal was level one now I am on to level 2 which is to lose another 20 lbs and use my gym app to track my workout progress, VirtuaGym for anyone who is interested. This is a good app for tracking progress and following workout routines that you can do at home or at the gym. If you have some free weights there are some workout suggestions that are helpful and also many workouts that require no equipment.

Avoiding lousy carbs becomes easier once I put weight on as a result of them. Its not worth it. If I crave a low quality carb, like a bagel, my weakness, or baguette, I have it in the morning then I have all day to burn it off.

Really, I need the support of this thread. I don't make resolutions about going on a diet, setting a weight loss goal, etc. If I'm not successful it really does a number on my psyche. My focus is on eating healthy and exercising more. I haven't had anything with refined sugar in it since Sunday. This is big for me. Last month I made a conscious choice to not bring any packaged sweets into the apt. I find that if its not there .... I do without. The holidays provided many opportunities to indulge, and, I did! Now, I'm climbing back on the wagon. Thank you all for being here!
