It is sooo easy...
It is soo easy to let yourself go--it is sooo easy to go back and have more and more food when you aren't even hungry. It is sooo easy to tell yourself it's just today or I've already messed today up might as well really mess it up. I have let myself slip soo much since I was my best friend's wedding.
