I did not good today at all!

Boy! :embarassed: - It is hard to keep track of what you eat when people invite you for luch or supper.
I was invited for lunch to a very Lancaster County meal. Heavy cream potato dish, etc etc etc! - the dessert was to kill - even my diet! :explode:
:grumble: I tried to walk, but even two miles are not enough...
I felt descourage because I did not want to offend my host, but yet how should I tell her that I just want a spoon of that heave potato dish! :noway: - Tomorrow, lots of walk and back to track again...
It feels good writing my frustration.
Keep walking the good walk:flowerforyou:

I completely understand what you mean about not wanting to offend. And how are you supposed to guess how many calories these dishes have in them if you've never researched it? Vent your frustrations girl! And then get back on track tomorrow. Sounds like you have the right attitude. You can do it!

Don't beat yourself up (Remember one day at a time.)

Allright, you get it Felixa!! You dont beat yourself up, you start over tomorrow.

I had to avoid restaurants altogether in the beginning as I did not know what they are cooking with.

There are ways around it. Ask for grilled fish or chicken, steamed veggies, no rolls.

Your doing great!:flowerforyou:

I had a really crappy day at work. I'm a teacher and have been dealing with the most unreasonable parent ever. She is certifiable. But I feel your pain. Some days just don't work. I tried to run, but only did a half hour when usually I get in a full hour. It's freezing here near Chicago and all I want to do is endulge in comfort food. I have 40 cals left for today and that damn turkey in the fridge is calling my name even though I'm not even hungry. I want to bake although I know this will be the end of what could turn out to be a good day that counts towards my goal. This was easier in the beginning, a few months in and it gets really tough. I should have lost more weight than I have being on this since June, I don't want to sabotage myself for the progress I've made. I've only lost 21 lbs in 6 months. I feel pathetic. Again, this is a tough journey.

Yeah, me neither. Oh well! Tomorrow is a new day, and one day of overeating won't derail you if you're determined

I hear you...
One day at the time. If you don't want to see that awful turkey calling you, freeze every leftofver. Keep just the healthy snack abailable. I am with you, I love to bake too... Some body told me if I do bake I should chew gum. I have not try yet, but I can tell it might work.
Keep the good run my friend,:flowerforyou:
Thanks everybody for the wonderful support
