I had Mexican today. WW Core style. Fat free refried beans, fat free cheddar and fat free sour cream. After almost a year of L&G's it tastes pretty good.

I usually use salsa on it too but didn't this time.

Sorry for the food hijack, T.

I came home early, do not feel well. I'll go back into town later to pick up DH.

Not exactly the way I was planning on avoiding eating pizza .....but it works.

Hello......thanks for the notes (except those food notes--not on a green stomach did I want to read about Mexican food ).

Back down to 146.5 which was the weight I saw on Thanksgiving morning but hadn't seen since. I did go to pick up DH and the table was covered with pizzas. I did not stay in that room and thankfully the aroma did not waif into the room I where I was sitting visiting with others. We were offered some cold pizza to take home but I turned it down before DH could say 'no' on his own (he doesn't care for pizza). I know what my limitations are and avoiding pizza in my own home would have been asking for trouble......heck, it would have been a disaster and I would not have stayed compliant. I'm not that strong.

I've been doing 6-0 for the past couple days, getting myself back firmly into fat burning and ketosis. I talked with Nancy and shared how I've been doing --- the off program bites, nibbles and actual big servings of off program foods I had been having since allowing myself *a Thanksgiving meal*. The eating off program did not stop with the one Thanksgiving meal, it was finishing the pie over the next few days and then it was ice cream that called my name and it was another favorite sugary item that I made as a treat for DH & my children that I did not avoid..........so I went from 146.5 on Thanksgiving all the way back up to 151 earlier this week. I began drinking my water and got myself back on program by doing the 6-0, I will re-introduce my L & G probably tonight or tomorrow. I also went back to popping a piece of sugar-free gum into my mouth while feeding the twins...that way I cannot take bites of whatever I've made for them unless I make the consciencous effort to take my gum out of my mouth and have that bite. The gum will give me a bit more 'thinking time' before making the foolish decision to have a bite or taste of off program foods.

It has been ridiculous how long it is taking me to get to goal. I played around with the same couple of pounds since mid-September.....thankfully I'm again losing and am planning on seeing goal by January 1st (fingers crossed).

I put all this into my journal for my own accountability and so that I was being completely honest with myself on why I have not already reached my goal weight.

T - Good for you for facing the facts and making the decision to get back to the plan! Thanks for sharing your progress with us. I'm sure your struggles will help others who have fallen off plan or who are considering a single off plan meal.

Best of luck getting to your goal by the new year! You can do it!!

[lifelovinaries]

T, even tho i am not happy for your struggles, i am glad that you are able to write them. I'm sure many here are currently struggling with the same issues and feel that they are alone because everyone else seems to be able to maintain compliance. We are all human, all of us can't be MF machines and the important thing is to admit to yourself and others when you backslide and do everything possible to get back on. You are doing exactly what you are supposed to do, look for support and make adjustments. Congrats on turning that weight around again!

[Out*With*The*Old]

I forgot to ask [duh!] - - Are you feeling better this morning?!?

I hope so!!!

[bikipatra]

T, thanks for your honesty. I really believe it helps. Us of course but you too and you are what this is about. I am glad you were able to make it back into ketosis. You know what to do now and I think you will. It is way past time for both of us to reach goal and maintain it. Let's do it!

'morning.

I've been feeling better but little to no energy. Today the twins are here most likely. One of them has been vomiting at least once a day since Friday night, so if it happened again last night their dad will stay home with them today instead of having me watch them. I'll know in about an hour if they aren't coming today. I just had some oatmeal so hopefully I'll feel a bit more energized soon.

I did have 5-1 Sunday so weight went back up 1# Monday morning. Yesterday no L & G (I need to go grocery shopping but didn't feel up to it), just supplements and weight stayed up that lousy pound. I know it isn't calorie gained so it is temporary, but I sure hate seeing the scale show bigger numbers when I finally had a loss.

Just grousing about nothing truly.

It was great to see Pinkbugs, Katie, KellyC and QueenieLou back on the boards.....I hope more of our missing members will check in soon, even if it is just to say 'Hi, I'm not on program until after the holidays'. I wonder, too, how Musical Momma has been feeling after her surgery. I know we had one report, but am hoping she'll pop in with another.

That is it from me.
