On Easter- because it was a holiday- I basically ate what I wanted. I had been doing so well over the past couple of months. I would have cheat "meals" but not a full day of eating crap. Well now since Sunday I am craving all bad stuff. I have been doing okay- but today I had to will power at dinner. I am aggervated at myself. Tomorrow I need to start again. I need to have that willpower to not eat that. UGH. I have a very "addictive" family. I always would say looks like I missed out on that gene- guess my addiction is fattening food.

Tomorrow is a new day.....

    I can totally relate..I had almost the same experience. I had been doing sooo good, lost 15 lb..then Easter came around, I ate whatever. I tried to bounce back and actually did for 2 days but I had been craving unhealthy things since then, cracked again last night and today. feeling terrible. But i do feel like junk food is my drug and instead of being addicted to drugs or alcohol my vice is food.:/ work in progress. we can do this

    Jen, I can really relate! I decided to take off Easter also. And then it turned into Monday too. Even though I've stayed within my calorie/fat numbers Tues - today, I've really eaten unhealthy, haven't drunk much water, haven't moved my body much, etc. When I saw my nice jiggly self this morning, I decided it was time to get going again!
