I recognize that no one is posting, but what the heck, it's the holidays.
It started with that dream of Eggs Benedict last Sunday night and just went downhill after that; ending yesterday with me finding my husband's stash of chips and nachos. Oh, and I also needed a "taste" of the rum and bourbon soaked fruit cake. I tell you all this because I AM a food addict. If it's there I will eat it. I threw away the chips as well as the $50 fruitcake. You know I am serious now.
Then, I had to have a LO-O-O-O-NG talk with myself today and reflect over the past 4 months of what I have been doing and how my routine has helped me lose 37 pounds. You know, after I weighed myself, that's when all of this nonsense happened. But, I can't "un-weigh" myself. Those numbers stay in my head. I try to tell myself, "It's NOT over, Yvonne!! You are NOT finished yet! Keep going!"
It's my old self getting the better of the "what I want to be" self. Today, I have been faithful to Cambridge, I did my exercycle and abdominals and started to think about the remainder of the day. I have been stressed (but who hasn't been lately?). All I know is that Cambridge is a modified fast with all the good nutrients in it and I need to understand that concept instead of sliding back into my old mindset.
Anyway, I just wanted to vent and I love this Board to do that.
Hang in there folks! I am not perfect but today I am going to try to be.
I'm sorry Yvonne. It's ok though. No damage was done that can't be fixed. As we've said many times on here, you don't need to be perfect to get to your goal. You just brush yourself off (and no, you can't eat the crumbs!) and keep on going. Your goal is still there, patiently waiting for you.
Noone is perfect even those who reach goal and maintain.
Good for you! You rose above it and came back to the board to tell the tale. You know by now that you are on the right path and you also know that a bag of chips and a fruit cake have no power over you! So why let those numbers mess with your head?
So keep goin' Yvonne. I look forward to seeing you on the finish line.
) and keep on going. Your goal is still there, patiently waiting for you.
