This isn't really a biggy, but I surprised myself today. I made a comment about how I don't bother tracking the soy milk in my coffee. People commented and said they might nibble on chocolate and don't count it and some said they track everything. Then I thought, wait a second, I said I was committed to tracking everythig and here I go cheating? Isn't that what got us into trouble in the first place? From now on,0

Yep. I didn't like tracking coffee creamer for some crazy reason. So I switched to buying flavored iced coffee. 100 cal per cup. Now I don't have to worry about it.0 -
My confession is that I have spent the past week eating all of the cr*p that I stayed away from for the past 5 months. I feel sick, literally from all of the grease and sugar. I hope that I will remember this next time I want to go crazy for a week. I don't know what the damage is as far as the scales go, I will weigh in the morning and find out.0

I have been good for about two months but two weeks ago felt really demotivated and couldn't be bothered? I have been eating for the sake of it and just rubbish really and feel so flat that I realised I needed to stick to the healthier eating plan. I did get a box of chocolates for Mothering Sunday yesterday so I may be naughty a little until that are gone.0

I had takeout over the weekend. Multiple times! Pizza on Friday, leftover pizza on Saturday and then ate out on Sunday! This seems to be a regular thing on weekends, a habit I'm finding hard to break!0

It happens to all of us, just have to move on and let it go. I keep a secret stash of Hershey kisses in my freezer and I will usually have 1 or 2 every day just for the perk. We will get to the eating healthy and exercising habit....then when a slip happens it will be no big deal because we will go back to our good habits. I hope???!!!0

Cheesecake on Saturday. Not a small piece either. I paid for it though... it didn't agree with me at all. My excuse was that I needed to eat some form of pie in honor of Pi day. LOL0

I track everything, the good and the bad. My diary is definitely the worst almost every day of all my pals. I definitely have a hard time going a day without chocolate; wine and ice cream are other indulgences. My husband is my saboteur - we talked about it yesterday . . . again. Hopefully he'll learn to be a little more helpful. It's tough because he and our son are fit and thin and can eat 4000+ calories a day with no weight gain. And he offers junk to me almost every evening. I manage to stay away from chips most of the time, but chocolate and ice cream are a struggle. I'm managing portion sizes at least, but it would be better if I could learn to say no.0

HopeToRun - don't get discouraged. It's easier for my honey, because he has a very active job and has lost weight since he started working there. I have a desk job, and have had one since 2003.

They don't understand sometimes :-)0 -
My kids are selling world's finest chocolate covered almonds so I bought a box and ate them...then went to log and it was twice what my entire lunch was! I'm still well within my calorie goals...but I'm not happy about the fact that a third of my calories went to what was essentially a box of chocolates.0

Aw, I remember those fundraisers. Donuts were the worst because we'd end up with a few boxes leftover. Had to give them away in the end or I would have eaten them all, and I don't even like them that much.0 -
Feeling better knowing I'm not alone... I've gone over my calorie intake the last two days, by a lot and today for breakfast gobbled a piece of carrot cake... I keep saying I'm going to do good, but fail. Haven't even made it through week one.0

I can't drink my calories I love to eat too much, good for you though0 -

take it one meal at a time... if you screw up in the morning oh well! continue making healthy choices throughout the day, eventually you'll be right where you need to be and the weight will fall off0 -

Thanks! That's what I've been doing. I generally screw up during one meal, not all day. I guess I should be happy I didn't gain.0 -
I don't have a confession for this week because I gave it up when I decided to join this group, however I wouldn't log my splenda because I figured it had no calories so no big deal... I don't use it anymore though, Thanks to the accountability that I get from leecha2014 thank you mam0

Ah! Our loving husbands... My husband is very active and does the same. Last night was cake... But Can't blame him completely- it's not like his shoving it down my throat, nor was he here this morning when the remaining piece ended up in my mouth. lol0
