Week 4 - Fatty Fats Galore

Pounds lost: JACK SQUAT!!!!
Pounds to go: 14.5

Confessions
HOLY POO!!! Trying to lose weight while living with someone who is trying to gain 20 lbs is getting harder. I was doing really good about not eating anything after dinner, but Lisa has had crazy cravings for taquitos at like 11 pm. Every night the smell of hot corn tortillas became a greater temptation, and I finally caved. The crappy part is, once I eat those, I figure I might as well keep going.

Today was the straw that broke the camel's back. I had two meetings where lunch was going to be provided, so I ate a healthy sandwich before I left so that I wouldn't eat a ton of pizza at the meetings. Well, I still ate a buttload of pizza at both meetings, and then went and got a huge thing of frozen yogurt during one of the breaks. I suck.

What worked
NOTHING!

Goals
Bet you can't guess. EXERCISE! I hope fast Sunday will help me get back on track with my eating.

don't be so hard on yourself...you've been like a rock for nearly a month, on a very strict eating plan. you were bound to cave at some point! the trick is just pick it back up in the MOMENT you fail. say, "this taquito feast will not ruin tomorrow" or even if you start off bad, decide right then to get back on track. exercise is key, also. it helps motivate you to eat better, but you already knew that.

don't worry, i'll be putting up a similar post on monday for myself, unless i can get things turned around in the next two days! love ya!

I agree with Michelle, we all have set backs. Sometimes we can resist temptations, and sometimes we give in. We're all human and one thing I've learned is to try not to let one slip up make you throw in the towel for the rest of the day or week. At WW we hear over and over, "if you mess up, just get right back on your plan and forget about the past."

It is always hard to stay on track when you aren't in control of what is being served, like your lunches last week. You did the right thing by eating before hand. Maybe next time you could take along something you could eat, so you don't feel deprived when everyone else is eating.

I'm sure you will get back on track this week. The key to to look at the big picture, you have been eating healthy for the most part! Practice makes perfect! Keep up the good work and have a good week.
