[amberpenny]

I feeel like a total loser!!! I did so well at first......lasting 10 days of a clean induction....staying strong......feel wonderful and energetic after the first few days.......
THEN MY MOM came to visit me.......UG!!! baking and baking and more baking....from bread to cake, to sticky buns...to squares..........I caved.........Now after mom has left....and the baking has diminished....I feel terrible...mentally and physically....I feeel so bloated. I just need to get my butt into gear and start again.......I am just not looking forward to those first few days of the FLU..............WHy did i do this to myself...?????

My grandmother just died, my mom was the one who did all the baking and everything for her (pies, cakes, cookies, etc) so she tells me that I can tell she's in mourning if pie or box of goodies starts arriving on my doorstep daily. I told her that as much as I love her and know she's going through a hard time, I love her cooking and baking, but feed it to my brothers 'cause it'll go to waste if she gives it to me.

Blame your parents. They have this guilt thing, until you can master it, they keep doing it over and over and over.

Hi Shelly. I got to day 13 of induction and cheated. What is important is that you recognize that cheating is not the best thing to do and dust yourself off and start again. I have been cheat free now for 20 days. Feel free to join the cheat free challenge. It has really helped me to hold my self accountable. Just start again and take it one day at a time. You can do this. I have found that using the recipes here have made it so much easier for me. I am not bored with the food I am eating. Here is the thread to great recipes if you don't all ready have it. http://users3.ev1.net/~FONTLADY/recipes.html

failure is one who gives up. YOUR BACK! Your not a failure. Now, dust yourself off and let's get this wagon moving again.

I have found that it doesn't matter if you mess up. What matters is that you start right back. Otherwise the misery continues. Don't feel so bad. Frankly your mother made it almost imposible for you. As Bren said the faliure is not trying again. Hugs Pru
