Falling off the wagon.....dang it
So who said this diet stuff is easy...oh..me? yeah I guess I only thought that. Ok, so I got 23 lbs off myself but then the first dreaded plateau hit and so did many a family gathering because family came to town. I am so sad! It is hard!!! I just decided that even though I had tried to count my calories and make wise choices, I just couldn't do it. I didn't go stark raving mad or anything but I did eat more than I should have and I savored the moment with family and the enjoyment of homemade food and dessert. It is so good sometimes. I sort of hoped that my having a week of total diet oblivion might help me get out of this plateau and help me start losing again. I was going to start fresh on monday and then the neighbors decided to share their barbeque of grilled steak, hot dogs, rice and guac with us and it was the best food I have ever eaten it seemed like!!!! LOL How do hispanic people do that??? I just really want to know. They make the best food I have ever eaten and I count myself lucky but also cursed a bit to have such wonderful neighbors who always share their delicious food with me. I guess I should look at it this way: Dieting isn't easy nor is it something that you should kill yourself doing. I slip and fall along the way. I just really hope that my slipping will help me get back into the swing of things and that I will find my diet mojo again. I went to the gym yesterday and today and I worked out with a vengeance!! It felt great and I am not going to ever give that up so at least I can say that much :) I ate my calories like a good girl today and was quite satisfied. However, in addition to my evil yet heavenly dinner last night, I also made 4 batches of raspberry jelly with my Dad and that came with a lot of tasting...uh to make sure it was good?? Oh ok - I just flat enjoyed it and did not want to forgo. So good for me LOL - next time I will and this week I will be back on the wagon for another hopeful long haul of weight loss. Thanks for reading!! Over and out :)

I'm glad I don't have neighbors who cook like that! I think I would jump off the bandwagon... at least you went to the gym! I think that is what it is all about anyway - making this a journey gaining of healthier living habits that last a lifetime --NOT just until you reach your goal.
ReplyDeleteWhen we know we are going somewhere that is going to be yummy food, we just eat very light veggies and fruit throughout the day to "save" our calories. Then we can enjoy without the guilt. My biggest problem is portion control. My eyes and taste buds are definitely bigger than my stomach and I eat way more than I should.
Can't wait to read your next post! :-)
It was hard to say no to that delicious food so I didn't lol - You and me both on the portion control - I love food and that is why I am fat...lol I love it and I eat too much of it..haha - you are right about the healthier living habits, that is what it is all about. I am so happy for your progress!! Great job!! It is really fun to share this experience with someone. You are awesome and I appreciate your feedback! Love ya! :)
