    It wasn't because of Labor Day weekend ... it was because of your choices. Take ownership of your actions and stop blaming a date on a calendar.

    Brian- read the second sentence of my my original post you bone head.

    Lol.. Brian can you get me a baby bottle with a beer in it, and a bib for some ribs? Damn you NFL Football!!!!

    Your second sentence reads " I totally steered off course on Saturday and Sunday had a bunch of alcohol,taco bell, pizza and even ate when I was drunk, etc." So you blame a holiday ... then go to say how you did so much of it was done while drunk which is further deflection ... then resort to name calling. The third sentence mentions how you have to get over the "bump" but noting about accepting responsibility for your behaviors over the holiday weekend. You can take responsibility, admit that you (not a holiday ... phase of the moon ... alcohol ... anything or anyone else) are the one making choices, and approach this like an adult. It's possible to overcome the occasional excuse. Excuse making and deflection of responsibility are much harder to overcome.

    This is the Motivation and Support area. Some people are confusing it with the Chastise and Finger-point area. :-)
    Enabling excuse making is neither supportive nor motivational. The OP made decisions. It wasn't the holiday or alcohol putting food and drink into his mouth.

    You are entitled to perceive my post how you like, however I felt I took ownership of my situation as stated in my OP, I can't please everyone but I think most on here would agree that I am blaming myself. And trust me.. There are many words in my vocabulary other then "bonehead" I could have called you , so I am glad I didn't say any worse to make you cry like a little baby. So funny how so under your skin I got and it your frustration shines through in your words. Thanks for humoring me, Brian. :)

    You "felt" ... so emotion over logic and fact. That is telling about you. You find excuses as an acceptable substitute for truly accepting responsibility ... again, very telling.

    You wouldn't make me cry with further childish name calling. In fact, I find it quite revealing about the level of intellect you choose to put into discourse. Acting like a petulant child on a playground is not something reasonable adults strive for ... but it is the level you seem happy to operate at. Your poor decision making on the holiday weekend is mirrored by your poor choices posting, including lying to yourself and others.


    Of course, I'm not the one who chose not to control their alcohol and food intake then make excuses about it. You are. I can control my actions ... you apparently choose not to. I would pity you if I thought you were worthy of that level of emotion. I don't.

    Now think of your next excuses for your future mistakes. I'm sure you won't say you chose poorly and accept responsibility. That is an adult approach. Acting like a child is more your style. Good day.

    Quoting fail ... that made me laugh. I look forward to the excuses you offer to explain away your latest mistake.

    Brian-
    Do you have any experience with drug addicts or alcoholics? Be it yourself, family or loved ones? Do you work with drug addicts? As a corrections officer maybe?

    Hey OP, I got your drift! You're funny! We've all done it! Carry on.
  • So is there a question in there somewhere ?

    one week is irrelevant in the scheme of things. Just keep moving forward.

    Nope, no questions. All I was doing was thinking out loud as I knew there were others in the same boat during Labor Day weekend so just trying to be motivating and funny where I screwed up over the weekend with all the food and drinks, and said I was going to get back on track the coming week.

    Then Brian, Mr. Bird Brain totally through the thread off track so I can understand how this thread is confusing to the new readers. Labor day was 2 weeks ago anyway, That is all in the past, and have made progress moving forward.
