    So, I went for one week on holiday and put back on all the weight I had lost in the preceding month or so. This despite it being a "mountain biking and yoga retreat". There was disappointingly little mountain biking though, and I ended up with every afternoon free and basically sat around eating. And then I tried all the sweet pastries available in Portugal... :s:'(

    First day back yesterday was then also utterly disastrous, so I am hoping you guys can help me get back on track. At least just for today. I need some encouragement - please help! :(

    JFT 20.9.16
    - only 1 bread roll and piece of fruit for breakfast
    - no snacking between breakfast & lunch
    - take a sensible lunch packet
    - no snack except fruit and/or yogurt in the afternoon
    - sensible, healthy dinner, no dessert
    - track all food here

    You can do this! Just think about putting happy emoji faces at the end of today. Just for today....

    Ugh, today was a mix: did several jobs I'd been nervous of, which went well, but in the evening I had to travel and stay over away from home which really preyed on my mind all day: cue nervous eating. So.

    Just for Wednesday

    It's a stressful upsetting day (ordering a tombstone) so, give myself a break
    Bank breakfast calories for a sociable lunch
    When I finally get back home, do a little stationary bike
    Just one dessert in a dayful of restaurant stops
    Get through it

    Yesterday's commitments -

    - log everything I eat :)

    - no unhealthy snacks :)

    - Choose a healthy option for dinner - ideally in advance :| Had an extra starter which I shared with my friend, but it was a light one (I think!)

    - no alcohol :)

    - take a 30+ min lunch break, ideally outside :| Only managed 20 mins, inside - but away from desk at least

    - listen to music to help me relax :)

    - watch out for signs of getting angry and stop myself from reacting (time out/ relax / challenge thoughts) :| Did this a little but hard to get into habit

    - plan what to say in tomorrow's meeting (about work frustrations) :/ Doing this in the morning!

    @joan6630 You can do it! It is fine to keep starting over - I think the key thing is to keep trying hard, and after a while you'll slip less often and to a lesser extent when you do! I'm already finding that making healthy choices is getting more automatic - though I have a long way to go...

    You have a great motivation in your 40th anniversary - how is your husband in all this? Are there things you could ask him to do that could support you? This could be getting him to agree not to have certain foods in the house, doing different types of activities together.... all sorts! My boyfriend is very good in many ways, but I'm having to really train him to think about portion sizes and weighing things when he's cooking - I think he's getting there though!

    1. It is OK to keep starting over! Success comes in small baby steps. Sometimes we go backwards, but the main thing is to keep trying. :)
    2. Look at the goals I HAVE accomplished, not the ones I have not. :)
    3. drink water. I think water makes such a big difference, not only in how we feel, but in helping loss weight. So 8 glasses of water today :/
    4. exercise. Going to power wash the siding, but this does not count. Get to the gym, or a long walk tonite - no matter how tired I feel! :/ Did not feel good in the evening, and missed the morning workout. :/
    5. NEVER GIVE UP! :)

    weds, 9/21
    1.drink water
    2. drink water
    3. drink water


    LOL --- can you tell that this is a goal I am determined to get in place!
