Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Hello everyone. I am in WK 2 and I cheated last night! I didnt want to but some friends took me to a Mexican Restaurant for a late birthday dinner. Ii had a medium Margarite (bad, bad) chips and salsa, and a bowl of tortilla soup. Normally I would have eaten much more. I feel so guilty! I know some of you take free meals instead of free days. I guess I'll do that this week. My free day was supposed to be Sunday. It's my father in laws 60th birthday and we are having a big party and I know I am going to eat! I guess I can try to just have a free meal there. What do you ladies think??

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I say, what's in the past is done. Treasure the memories you made with your friends that evening, and know that your one free meal was perfectly " authorized. " Now, about the upcoming event, use that as an opportunity to have control of your body's nutrition. Like Stasia says, you always have a choice. Eat before you go, drink lots of water while you are there, concentrate on the relationships and connection you are making with the people instead of what everyone is eating. If the gig is longer than a few hours, take a protein bar or shake with you to keep yourself satiated. In the long run, BFL is for life. Obstacles are inevitable. It's what you do with them that matters. That's just my two cents, anyway. :-) DeDe > > Hello everyone.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 In the EFL book Bill talks about a trip he is on..........he was on a trip, missed some meals and found himself in the hotel room raiding the mini-bar. It is kind of funny. Anyways he did not call this a " free meal " he called it an " unplanned " free day. So I would say you had your free day for the week! >From: tammy benton <tbenton24@...> >Reply- > >Subject: Re: I cheated! >Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2005 05:53:15 -0700 (PDT) > > >Hello everyone.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Body for LIFE...Keep that in mind girl. DO NOT feel guilty this will only hurt you in the long run. You took a free meal and enjoyed it...Good for you. You deserve it with all the hard work you have done. DO NOT punish yourself for it. Have fun at your dad's party as well. Just take it easy, and know that your gonna work hard the rest of the week, and do not weight yourself after your cheat days. If you do that you should be fine, and it will not make a difference in the long run....think for life, and enjoy!!!! ~ tammy benton <tbenton24@...> wrote: Hello everyone.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 3 weeks into this diet and I have been a bit less strict with my diet the past few days. Today I even had a piece of dark chocolate! does anyone have any tips on how I can get back on track? and what I can do to avoid temptation? i think my biggest problem is that I'm not planning meals or keeping safe snacks/meals in the fridge and ready to go. i am on a no dairy and no gulten candida diet... i'm not a big fan of meat so i'm finding it a bit difficult. thanks in advance, christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
