Disasterous Week!

[Guest guest]

Okay, ladies, I have to hold myself accountable to someone, so here

it goes. I blew my perfect challenge this past weekend! I've been

doing so well staying on track since the first of the year, and then

Friday was Valentine's. I took it as a free day, but I couldn't get

back on track on Saturday. I recovered on Sunday, but then on Monday

I binged again. Yesterday I was good all day, but then I went out to

dinner with friends and had greasy Chinese food followed by apple pie

for dessert. I also skipped my work out yesterday, which hasn't

happened for months.

I've been so focused and so determined lately, I don't know what

happened. There is no incident that triggered it really. I don't

feel more depressed or particularly stressed out. I am PMSing this

week, and I always have more cravings during that time, but I've

always been able to maintain a semblance of control.

I'm angry and frustrated with myself. I feel like I'll never, ever,

ever reach my goals again if every couple of weeks I go on a week-

long binge fest. I want this so bad! I've loved seeing the results

I've gotten during the past few weeks, and now I've blown it. I know

what everyone is going to say, because I've said it myself to others

who've slipped in the past. I know what to do; I just need to do

it. But the longer I stay off the track, the more difficult it

becomes. It's a scary cycle. This is exactly how I gained 45 pounds

back last year--I slipped and never recovered. I don't want to go

down that road again.
