Hi Cindy, I'm almost 2 yrs out and I make wrong decisions often but that's how we learn.  You aren't a failure as long as you are losing, walking or working out, getting in your protein, and your fluids.  I'm a failure on the getting in my protein, and fluids. But I have other health problems that  right now about the only thing that doesn't hurt my pouch, is milk.  I'll keep you in my prayers that you will be able to your way back to the program. Kathy

Hey Cindy! Not to worry sweet girlie!  The fact that you realize you are making bad choices is half the battle!  You know the problem and the beautiful part is that you know how to fix it!  You have the power!!!  Grab onto some delicious protein and make it right!  Are you still exercising?  Remember that not only does it help us get some of the fluff gone but is also wonderful for stress!  I love walking around my neighborhood and saying good morning to everyone.  It is such a "feel good" thing to do!   You can do this.  You have the tool, you know the routine...just jump in with both feet and do it!  Let us know how you are progressing, ok? Supportive smile! Freddie

You can't beat yourself up on the choices you make or have made. You just have to brush yourself off and get right back up. I am sure that someone will have to tell me that after I go back to the Dr. on 01/08 to see how bad I have done. Cheryl

Cindy, As long as we live we will make bad choices unfortunately that is part of being human.  The only way we fail is if we don't learn from those bad choices.  Make an effort to wake up the next day and do the right thing and if you don't then start out again.  You will do no good beating yourself up, just acknowledge that you have made a mistake , try to do better and go on. Good luck darlene
