I'm going to try again. It's all about me and I know that. No one else can stop me from eating the chocolate cookies that I made for my kids yesterday but me. Why do I find myself rationalizing everything?!?!!?

    Welcome back!! Eat the cookie, just know your going to have to do something to work it off if you over indulge..:)

    I feel your pain. I have been on a chocolate binge the last couple of days. So far I have stayed within my guidelines but it sure does cut into the amount of food I can eat. Tomorrow is a new and better day for you.

    I feel your pain. Just not strong enough right now to make those delicious cookies. Welcome back. If it makes you feel any better, I started two years ago and although I lost some weight, my ticker hasen't had much movement. Good Luck!

    Don't worry about the past. The important thing is that you've jumped back on the wagon! Each new day is a chance to do better! good luck! :smile:

    I can completely empathise. I have been going up and down the same 3 pounds for the last year. I'm hoping that keeping track of absolutely everything will work this time...... hope you get your motivation back - maybe start on a good mood day though?

    I do the same thing. I tell myself that I can eat the cookies today and work out harder tomorrow.....seems like that tomorrow never comes. I need to realize that if I want that cookie today I need to exercise for it first. I hate to deprive myself of things because then I feel like then I want that more than ever so if I work out first then I let myself have the treats.
