Fell down & bumped my head

[loriv19]

and well, nobody twisted my arm either. I figured what is one day going to matter. I guess I'll find out today.
I have a ton of leftover and fortunatley two 15 year olds in the house currently eating a plateful for breakfast so that means I don't have to worry about eating any of that stuff. However there is a pumpkin pie out there that won't stop looking at me.

I know I shouldn't have. I know why I shouldn't have. Nobody guilted me into it, I just did it because I wanted to. I have been really lucky since starting Atkins again and with the clothes feeling a bit more comfortable and seeing a few pounds dropping off I decieded I'd give myself a "carb holiday" as my DH puts it. Now the hard part is going to be today. Staying away from the leftover pies and all the munchy snacks the DH brought home for my parents to have before the meal was ready. Oh, did I mention he thinks he's doing Atkins too.

Prior to starting again, and doing his version of Atkins is what got me where I am today or I should say to the high weight that I was a few weeks ago. I have no intention of going back there, don't want to, don't have to ain't gonna.

Today I will start fresh.
I will post this in journal chats and be more accountable than before. I will not just read the post but write and read the advice of those that have come before me and put thier knowledge to work for me.
I slugged yesterday on the 6 wk challange, I will not do that today.

Please feel free to kick me in the arss when ever you want to. My leg doesnt' bend that way, so I'll need someone to do it for me.

Lori, I have so been there and done that. This is the part where I would say, huh, I cheated yesterday, so let me go ahead and get it out of my system again today. Then, maybe again tomorrow morning. Before I know it, it has been two weeks and my clothes fit tight and I am slothy and disgusted with myself. AND I am restarting induction. Don't let that be you. Don't let it go another day. Don't beat yourself up about it either. Drink lots of water and reward yourself for catching it in time.

You'll be ok! We all bump things on occasion! I wrote a thread called something like "You'll make it" and "so you fell off the wagon"...both of these thread-techniques have been instrumental in keeping me together even when I hit my head. I hope they'll help you, too!

Re: Fell down & bumped my head

Thanks for the pats on the back and a guide in the right direction. I just reprinted the wallet size acceptable food list and I'm going to stick to it.

I'm working on my second 16 oz bottle of water and if I have to spend the day in the bathroom than so be it.
