o man :(

Its a new week - just put it behind you and start over :grumble: Nothing you can do about it now, just suck it up and move on. The long weekends are the most difficult, I didn't gain, but I didn't loose...... You can do it!

Come on! Don't be too hard on yourself. It was a long weekend and I overate too, but today is a new day. Let's get ourselves back on track and get this weight lost! Lol :bigsmile:

I think this weekend was horrible for all of us.... Lets start Fresh Today =D

sleeve of chips a hoy.
bag of chips.
pizza
grinders with may0
bud light lime
steak (twice)
ice cream....

LOL - how many days before that shows up on scale?????????

I had cake!!

But I did feel good when we went out to a burger place. I kept thinking there wouldnt be anything for me to eat, but I had a buffalo burger and it was really tasty.

And I had ice cream!!

I will weight today.......just to see! hehehehe!!

As long as you don't turn this weekend into an everyday thing, then you have nothing to worry about. Enjoy yourself once in a while. :flowerforyou:

its soo hard to keep a clean diet around guests and family. for example when we had fish night on saturday, i didnt want mine fried... i grilled it instead. i got dirty looks and comments as if i was anorexic!!!!!! i was like ... its not like im opting for a romaine lettuce head for dinner. lol im still gonna have the rice with the shrimp and the veggies but i want my tilapia grilled.

IS THAT SO BAD MOM lol she was like "ur becoming obssessive!" so of course for the rest of the weekend i had to eat what they ate so that i didnt get anymore of those lectures.

dear mother, im so sorry for trying to live a healthier life and trying to stay in shape.

I had the same things happening to me this weekend! My new nickname with my husband's family is J-Roid, and they can't seem to just be happy for my weight loss. They have to pick at me and question the choices I'm making. We ordered pizza hut for lunch yesterday, and I ate a plate of salad first, and by the time I was ready for pizza, I could only eat a slice and a half. The whole family is overweight, so I'm sure it's mostly an issue of wishing they could lose weight as well. None of them followed my lead and ate salad though. That's fine, but then they think it's hilarious to call me J-Roid as if I'm some kind of crazy roided out freak. My husband tells his whole family that I'm obsessed with my diet and workouts simply because I use MFP. He actually gets jealous when I turn on the laptop to log in, and he throws a little tantrum that I'm not paying enough attention to him.
Okay, that ends my small rant!

Weekends happen to all of us. I am putting the scale away until Friday and hoping to see it at or below where I was last Friday. I am going to focus my energies on workouts and cooking with all the wonderful vegetables that are sprouting up. I bet we are all back to feeling healthy again after today's workout!

Who wants to join me in a week of dedication and positive encouragement?

I was reading an articel or somewhere that you are not supposed to have desert after dinner bc the desert turns everything you had at dinner into just fat. I don't remember where I saw it but you can google it. They said to eat your desert earlier in the day.

I had a bad weekend, also.

It’s el-sucko when your ideals of “healthy” and your family or surrounding friends ideals of “healthy” are completely different. I had a crap weekend (all 3 days camping), but it wasn’t filled with what most would consider “bad” treats.

Anywho, since I’ve been tagged as a health nut in the family, everyone else wanted to “help out” and dump their “healthy” stuff onto my plate. English muffins, pretzels, margarine, Weight Watchers popsicles, pancakes, crackers, pasta, bread…mostly all super-carbo-load or fake foods that I avoid 90% of the time. To avoid the diet dogma arguments, I just kept my mouth shut and ate some of the food. I feel like crap today. Stomach cramps, headache, allergy flare-up. Yeah. Literal crap. I avoid wheat, fake foods, and starches for a reason – the feeling like crap part, but telling family members that I’m gluten intolerant won’t go anywhere without a formal medical diagnosis. (Then I’d be the family diet quack. Oh goodie.) Why argue? Most think the above foods are the holy grail of nutrition and honestly, I’m not stepping in and saying they’re complete crap for some.

So, I tack it up as a really horrible cheat and move on. No use starting a flame war in the family about diets. I also scheduled an appointment with my primary physician to get a referral to an allergist or specialist regarding the wheat thing. I can keep losin’ my weight and feeling good and uh, I guess everyone else can enjoy stuff that doesn’t really taste like or resemble butter. Next time I think I’ll just grow some balls and say NO…argument hopefully not ensuing.

Don't feel too bad. I did the same thing. I gianed 6 lbs. Going to just pretend like it didn't happen and move forward.

You're SO NOT ALONE! After beer, burgers, brats, cookies, and a few pina colatas (sp?), I think it's safe to say I did NOT do well this weekend!

Yeah don't stress too much about it. I went away for the weekend and ate out literally every meal....I fit in exercise whenever I could in the form of stairs and walking everywhere. I ended up losing half a pound so I was happy. :flowerforyou: This is a new week! You'll do great!

Punch the long weekend in the face and sweat it all out with a good workout!! ]
