    Aww! Hang in there!

    It can take up to a month for this to become a real routine! And you might mess up here and there. But, it wasn't one meal that made you gain weight right??

    Just get back on track. This is a learning process for everyone and it can take some time to get on a roll....

    I read that one of the traits of naturally thin people is that they do have treats and eat junk...they just don't let one meal or one fun night out become the norm. They get right back on track of their healthier lifestyle. You don't have to deprive yourself of everything. I enjoy myself. I have birthday dinner and Super Bowl Sunday junk...I just get back on track the next day! :)

    You can do this and you WILL get your old body back!!

    One day is not going to ruin everything. It takes time to lose the weight. Just start again tomorrow. :smile:

    Don't worry about it!
    I fall off the wagon fairly regularly (...yeah, bad i know) but I've lost and I'm still losing. The more you do it, the easier it becomes. Its OKAY to screw it up...as long as its not often.

    You did well for 3 days! That's great!

    Don't be hard on yourself. One mess up isn't going to ruin everything. Just get back on track and start again. Remember, if at first you don't succeed, try , try again. You'll get there, you just have to keep going and not let yourself get discouraged. Good luck to you. Don't give up. It'll all be worth it when you finally make your goal. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Only one day of no no's?? Big deal. You will be fine. I too had regular bread, cheesy poofs a small corn dog and two reeses. And I am on Atkins. So ya know what, I know I didn't gain any weight from it, so I'm right back on track this evening. I had a big romane salad with grilled chicken.

    You only have to worry about going from day to day binging.

    It only becomes failure if you let it get you so down you give up! EVERYONE slips up. Success here comes in the long run. Keep after it and you are a SUCCESS!

    First off...You owned it. So that isn't failure.

    Failure is walking of the plan all together...Or no, not walking...sitting...

    So what, you went a few over, you are here, and now ready to make good tomorrow! I eat all sorts of this and that to stay on and off track. I just log it, account for the calories by working out or eating differently the following day. Drink some water, jog in place in front of the TV, and call it done for the day!

    Good luck with tomorrow! You can do it!:flowerforyou:

    Don't get angry and don't get disappointed. The single most important factor in taking on a healthy lifestyle change is your attitude. If you have a defeated attitude, you will fail. Stay positive and accept the fact that you're on a journey and you'll have days when you detour.

    You're ok, we've all been there and will, no doubt be there again at some point.

    Oh, I also recommend that you eliminate the "diet" idea. Just refer to this as your "healthy eating plan" or something like that. The word "diet" has a poor mental effect on a lot of people. (It certainly does on me :tongue: )

    Good luck to you.

    I've been here for 6 months... do you have any idea how many times I've cheated with pizza?? lol more than I can count. 1 bad decision wont ruin everything. Besides you couldn't be over by more than a few hundres calories, I bet you still have a deficit (ie- you'll STILL lose weight) go for a walk around the neighborhood to burn off those extra calories and get back on the horse! :flowerforyou:

    Does a person HAVE to go get "a #" at the gym? Wouldn't it be healthier for her talk things out with her hubby and and take her kid for a walk? :laugh:

    Everything said here is right on. Go for an extra long walk or run or bike ride tomorrow. Don't beat yourself up that is so destructive to your emotional well being!
