    Hah! I don't keep trigger foods in the house (at least PB hasn't set me off this time - I know I can't eat the entire Costco jar in one sitting, so I take it 2 tbsp at a time). Yet, I still had a mini binge yesterday - if I hadn't had two hours of dance class last night, I am pretty sure I would have gone over! I managed to find the least healthy things in the house (one banana, one fiber one brownie and a tbsp of slice almonds makes an excellent cold weather sundae*...prepackaged lean cuisine pizza, even though my partner had made a salad for me...)

    The key is that we learn to build up strategies. Since I was aware of what I was doing, I was able to make myself wait 20-30 minutes in between snacks, then realize "no, I really still want something."

    I had a hormonal excuse, but I also know that ONE day is not going to throw me off track. Not getting back up and in the right direction tomorrow is the only thing that can derail me. And so, I got up this morning and did Zumba and played on the Wii, packed my salad and some fruit and headed off to work.

    * I also had a fiber one brownie spread with PB with a glass of milk a few days ago - yum!

    If I want cake, I have to make it, which means I have to have the ingredients on hand. I try really hard to not have the ingredients on hand.

    This is me. I am the go to baker for all my friends. And I have discovered mug cakes on Pinterest. I am NOT experimenting with them because anything chocolate that is ready in 90 seconds is a thing I do not need to discover....

    I am preparing for my own "eat all the things" day. TOM is coming....nooo....
    BUT REASONABLE CALORIES AND NO LEFT OVERS

    freaking mug cakes...they are horribly easy. pure, delicious evil in a mug.

    Yup, I have one of those days every so often. Usually most of it comes after dinner. All you can do is accept it as part of the process, fall forward, remember that it does not matter how many times you fall. Only how many times you get back up and in the arena again. Hang in there. This is do-able!

    When this happens if it is so much I cant really track, I don't. But then have to get back on the program the very next day. Tracking our food and weights is the secret to our success in the end. But one X-out day is not the end of the road at all. Just a bump to quote our President. We can do this!
