just being accountable by posting my day

I made it 11 days on program without going off track. I wasn't perfect, but stayed within my calories. Weekends are the hardest because I don't have my job to redirect my thinking. But, tomorrow is Monday and I'll be back to work, thank goodness
. One of the ways I stayed on track this weekend and last week for that matter was to plan when I'm allowed to eat. If I eat at 8am I'm not allowed to eat again until 12 or 1pm and than dinner 4 or 5 pm than snack 8 or 9pm. This way I don't allow myself to eat anything outside of these times. I also make sure I stay within my calories allowed by MFP. This is what I'm considering to be my abstinence from overeating. I allow myself to drink any low calorie drink between meals. I still find myself thinking about food too much, but know not to touch anything if it isn't time. I know that if I take that first bite or nibble I can't stop. My husband tempts me sometimes because he will be eating something and ask me to take a bite and get mad when I don't. I refuse to allow him or anyone else to ruin my abstinence. I'm going to a meeting after i post this, but just wanted to be accountable to all of you with how i did this weekend. I hope all of you are doing well and staying on track. Just remember if you slip of the track a little just get right back on as quick as possible and keep moving in the right direction. Don't get the crazy thinking that if you messed up a little you may as well ruin the rest of the day. I have made this mistake too many time in my life and have moved up in the scales with crazy thinking.

Thank you for sharing that. We have similar abstinence and that way also works very well for me ...... even our meal times are the same lol.0
