So after a week of vacation I go back to work for a week of stress. I must say I handled the week really well. Lost 1.4 lbs this week! After the past few months of struggling I renewed my commitment. I got home from work last night, completed my diary under my BMR, felt like I wanted a little snack. Had a piece of New York style cheesecake, little harm, I say little harm because of the macros and trying to avoid transfats. My transfats for yesterday were 8. Little did I know that piece of cheesecake would be so much problem. It acted as a trigger for me sending me into a binge, I see it I want it. After the piece of cheesecake, I hit the potato chips. Instead of counting out I grab the bag. I'm guessing I had about 4 to 5 servings. After that I grabbed a handful of minicandybars, which was about 5, so not bad. I had taken out 15 minutes earlier in the day to do a 1?5 minute brisk walk. At 10:00 at night, what do you do. I gues at this point it's all about resistance and control. Last night it really didn't bother me after realizing what I had done. Today I have to say it does hurt a little, being able to resist and controll for over a year and now struggle to make it a week. Oh well, it was only one day out of what could have been six. IT'S NOT GOING TO DERAIL ME. I'm going out for a run today, the dogs are not going to derail me, I'm carrying my stick, it's going to be all about mental unwind and doing it for ME!

    We all have weak days sometimes. You've already proven to yourself that you can do this! You know you're strong! But you're also human, so just acknowledge that and pick yourself back up and keep going. :flowerforyou:
