VACA. LEAD TO OUT OF CONTROL EATING!!

I am feeling disappointed and disgusted with myself.  I did not do well on vacation with my eating.  That is putting it MILDLY!  I don't know why I did what I did.  I was doing so freakin good too.   Food really is an addiction for me.  It made me think if I really am going to ever beat this demon in the long run.   I am reading everyone's posts from last week for encouragement.  Even though I am feeling down today, I started off on track and I will be taking my walk at lunch today.  I am determined to get back in there and put this behind me if it KILLS ME! There is just no way I'm giving up.   I was feeling so much better and healthier.  I AM SICK AND TIRED TO BEING OBESE!  Everyone, please continue posting I think we all really need it right now.  We have to make time to be there for one another.  Brenda

It is tough to maintain control when you are no longer in your own kitchen preparing your own food.  Start over today.  You are still ahead of where you were when you started and you will make up for your lapse quickly enough.

Remember - if you ate out alot you are probably suffering from some water retention too.  Resturants use a TON of salt and that will affect you for a few days.  Increase the water to flush the salt out.

take care and dont give up (or in!)

Hey Bren.... Big hugs to you.... First of all... it is called vacation... for a reason.....  But keep it all in pespective.. you can over come this... you can get back on track now that you are back... It is hard I know... I went on a cruise and I swear the 24 hour buffets killed me... and trust I gained about 5 pounds in five days... could at the pictures from the time we got on the boat and the time we got off and we all looked swole up.....   Let today serve as your motivation and go forward.... cannot dwell on what has been done... just focus going forward and celebrate even the little successes...   Please do not let the vacation set back up set you too much... we need ya around here!!!

Welcome back, Brenda. I missed you! You'll be okay.  If you start today, you can take that weight gain off in no time.  It might set you back about a week, but what's 2 weeks of your life?  I hope you ENJOYED your eating on your vacation, and if you did, great!  Now you're back to reality, so get movin' and losin'. Please don't be depressed or discouraged.  You CAN do it! Smile! Bren

Girl, it was a vaca! Cut yourself some slack!   I know you wanted to stay on track no matter what but sometimes you need to stray from the path to realize what that track is.  Think of this as a learning experience and let it go.  You'll do great in the upcoming weeks.  Don't even think about this anymore! 

Hey girlie..... read my post about 6 down...... you and I are BOTH feeling the SAME way today!  I got back from my vaca late Sat night- I SUCKED all week :( I feel HORRIBLE about it.... and I FEEL your pain as well. I know just how you feel after doing so well....  I gained FOUR pounds in as many days :(  Had to get on the scale this morning and nearly cried... I would have had I not had kids that might hear me :( Anyhow... Come on Brenda!!!.... Lets DO IT!!!   I KNOW WE CAN DO IT!!!!  We have both PROVEN (to ourselves as well as those around us!) that we CAN DO IT! (((((hugs)))))  

Yeah, looks like we had similar weeks.  I've been on track today, but feeling really ****ty.  Hopefully, tomorrow I will have a better attitude.  Regardless, I'm not going to stray.  I'll get my GUNG HO attitude back soon I hope.  I was afraid to even weigh.  I will though, I thought it would make my attitude worse.   YOU ARE RIGHT THOUGH, WE CAN AND WILL DO IT!!

hey, you're back, you're ready to move ahead.  It takes lots of practice to go on vaca without eating your self sick.  Dont be hard on yourself. I am only just now, after 50 friggin years able to only screw up a day or two of vacation eating rather than go to bed sick i am so full every night. It takes time to re-teach yourself.
