Hey guys,

I've been slacking since 7/25... I'm suppose to get my period sometime this week and usually the week before I look like a crazy woman eating everything in sight. It's awful. I haven't been logging either, it's quite depressing.

Honestly, I'm just seeking some encouraging words :ohwell:

    You can do it! Stay focused! Also, if your like me I totally crave chocolate at the TOM, Fiber One 80 calorie Brownies are delish!

    You are the only one who can make the decision jump off the wagon, and all the same, you're the only one who can make the decision to climb back on.

    so what are you waiting for? get your butt back on there! TOM is no excuse to wait either. workout so if you go a little choco-crazo, it will balance out. DO IT YOUNG LADY! :tongue:

    Maybe take a week or so just to get into the habit of logging, and then focus on what changes you want to make to what you're eating. Good luck.

    You can do it! Start by at least logging in to mfp daily. Start by trying to honestly log what you are eating. Yes you can cheat the computer, but that little voice in your head will help to get you back on track.:smile:

    Get back on that wagon! lol. But I wouldn't beat myself up over falling off for a couple of weeks. It happens to all of us because it's so easy to do. Old habits die hard. I consider the weight loss thing a lifestyle change so if I have a few bad days here and there, I don't mind because it's best to look at the long term goal.

    And I log everything regardless of what it is. I might not do it right away, but when I add entries the day after, I kind of want to kick my *kitten* and I'll make a point of trying to be better over the next few days. It kind of keeps me in line. And is handy for when I'm trying to figure out why it is taking longer to drop the pounds.

    You can do it!!

    Choose today to get back on. :)

    Google some low-calorie high volume foods to eat before/during your period. If all you want to do is eat, eat, eat, then allow yourself but be mindful of what you eat.

    I like low-cal rice crackers with light laughing cow cheese, some wine, as well as fruit, and I'll make up a stir fry with chicken, a whole bag of frozen vegetables, and some low-calorie asian noodles (and I recently read a post about bean sprouts and tofu noodles- they're good and high volume). You can make this with a bit of low sodium soy sauce (there are lots of receipes on the WWW).
