I agree with Melva, don't beat yourself up over the one cookie.   It was a disappointment, OH WELL and move on.     Give yourself credit for stopping at one.  

I have picked back up on the book. I am on Day 26.    I noticed that as much as 25 and 26 scared, they are probably helping me the most.    Today has been a big help.    Tomorrow I will be on day 27.  Since I usually weigh on Thursdays, I am going to do day 28 (get ready for weigh-in) tomorrow as well.  Do you think this is ok?

I haven't really traveled yet, so I don't have anything to add to what Beverly said.    However, I do have an all day meeting with the army on Saturday.   Last time, they had food I could eat, roasted chicken.  It was so dry that it made me sick.   I think this time, I am going to take my own lunch.   Then I will be going out of town the next week-end, so I have a game-plan for it now too.   Thanks ladies.

Hi, my name is Pat and I am 5.5 years out.  I came within 20 pounds of reaching my goal.  Put back 15 pounds.  I bought the book about 1 year age and haven't "found" time to read it.  So glad I found this group.  Now I have to read the book! LOL

That's ok we all get off sometimes but stop right no and look at your advantages. Remember 1 cookie maybe 220 calories if you keep eating it will be 2200calories and 2600 gms of carbs. NOw think isn't it better to stop at 200 than be pissed at yourself for adding 2000.

You can Do it the cookies are the enemy. This is an all out war, and I know you can win if you want to.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT 1 COOKIE KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE TARGET= YOUR GOALS..

CALL ME IF YOU NEED ME I AM HERE...go to my personal mail I will give you my number

I would make sure I  took lots of protein powder or even the pre mixed ones are more convenient.
Are you staying at a hotel? If you are , and there is a fridge bring lots high protein food items.
 
Sliced meat, cooked chicken, hard boiled eggs,nuts, cottage cheese, yogurt  maybe tuna salad. Take some fruit and raw vegs. Maybe buy some bottled water.  Freeze the water and place with your food items to keep them cold.

You could always go to the grocery store once you get there and get some of these items. Don't forget to take some cutlery.

I think the key is to really spend some time planning your meals for those days and stick to it. Stay far away from the fast foods and carbs like muffins, donuts burgers and fries.

Throw a few Low carb, high protein bars in your purse. Take some gum, its boring if you are traveling and eating is a great pass time but it is hard to eat if you are chewing gum.

It’s a trap, it’s a trick.

I spent 1 hour at the gym first thing this morning, then I needed to go to the Auto Shop to get something for my vehicle. Service fellow say it will be about I/2 hour. so I say, I will go upstairs to the caf and have a coffee.... he gives me a complementary ticket for the coffee.

I go upstairs ask for the coffee and there sits about 2 dozen M&M cookies, large ones, fresh baked. Here’s how it goes

I say" oh, those look good“!     

She says “ have one“!

I say “Oh no, that’s okay"! and I’m thinking I am trying to lose weight and cookies are not on the plan for today      

She says “go ahead there complimentary", awe free food. 

I say “well maybe I will then, thank you “, thinking I just spent 1 hr at the gym

Shaking her head It’s a trick, it's a trap. LOL

So there I go, so much for ..I don’t have any people in my life that push food on me right now. I just read this chapter yesterday. That cookie cost me 220 cals and 26 carbs grrrr LOL

Stay in Control when Eating Out

Wow only 12 more days and I will have completed the whole program

I don’t cook on the weekends so its leftovers or eating out…we usually do at least one Breakfast and one Dinner..

If we go to my favourite breakfast place I have, a 4 oz steak, 2 eggs and a fruit cup.

Most times I will check online for the menu and make 2 choices before we go and I stick to one or the other. I recently have been asking for a take-out contained when the waiter comes back to check the first time and then remove ½ right away.
