To answer you question Unca before this week, the logest I had gone with out a slip up was maybe 2 days. A tiny nibble here, a its-bitsy nibble there.
But after my terrible weekend, I have been so good this week, and 100% compliant and I am proud of myself for that. I posted in the weight loss forum about last night, when I was craving McDonalds fries, I instead went to the store an got salsa for my Medi Chilli. I did use two packets and I know I am not suppose to, but I think that is better than MCdonalds fries. And I only ate half of the bowl since it was a LOT, so technically that was only about 1 packet.
But I feel good about this. I am still hiding out in my apartment not really feeling like re-emerging until I have at least hit my 10 pound mark, which hopefully will happen some day soon. MTOTM is comming around, so I know I am retaining water, so I am trying not to weigh myself until that passes, because I know that will discourage me.
I guess I am one of those slow loosers, because on the 11th I will be on program for a month and have only lost 5 pounds, even thought I know I have slipped up numerous times I thought I would have lost more. But I still have a little over a week until Aug 11th and a lot can happen in a week. But regardless what happens, I am not going to quit. I am going to keep going till I reach my goal this time, I don't care if it takes me till next year this time, I have to believe that this will work for me. I can not continue to be unhappy with myself all the time. I know that is not healthy for my self-esteem or my self-image.
Slow and steady wins the race I guess.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
