Well this week is a complete right off, I messed up so bad that it's not funny. I craved sweet
things and sugar all week. And no matter I did I couldn't get away without eating them.

No thats not true. You sound to have had a bad time over the last few days. The week is not over you
can get back OP now. Don't wait for the week to finish - start again now.

Quoted message said:

I have gained back the weight I lost. I'm a little disapointed in myself for what I have done, and
almost thought about giving up. But I am not.

Good for you.

Quoted message said:

I was doing good with not having any pop either and I messed that up. Why is it that we put
stuff into our body's that we know will make us not feel good?

Whats wrong with diet coke. I drink it all the time. Don't get hung up over coke. It's the least of
your worries. Now if you aren't drinking the diet version then you have a reason to worry🙂

Quoted message said:

Tomorrow is another day and I will get back on track. Or at least I am going to try my hardest .

No today is another day. Start today.

Quoted message said:

Because of all the sugar that I ate this week I have felt terrible. I am startingover at square
one. I guess that is what we have to do untill we get it right. But when do we get it right
??????? Is there a time that we know that what we are doing is best for us??????? Is there a
moment in our lives when we say okay this is my time and I am going to make myself healthy so
that I can live a long and happy healthy life?????

Losing weight isn't something you achieve, it's a journey. It's taken me 18 months to get back to
somewhere near normal, and I've still got a long way to go to reach target. When I get to target
I've got to maintain around there for the rest of my life - You too.

Angie,

Losing inches IS progress.

You didn't think of a donut once while at TH, that's huge!

The scale is only one of many ways to measure your journey. I know that part is hard to deal with. I
like seeing results on the scale right the following morning.

Alright sorry I have gone on so long. But I needed to vent. If you can call what I just said
that. Oh I almost forgot, I measured myself this morning and I am down 1 more inch for a total
of 8 inches so far. I guess thats just as good as the scale going down ??????

thanks for listening to my ramblings angie

At times like this, when you feel most discouraged, remembering the small changes you've made and
your overall progress is critical to regaining your focus. Since no person is perfect, and life
happens to all of us, not one of us will EVER get it perfectly right and stay that way forever. Most
of the thin people I know go through periods when they watch more carefully what they eat following
a period of indulging. That's normal. The problem for many of us who have been overweight for so
long is that we don't know what normal is.

Remember: no guilt, and move on.

do it and or at least I do anyway, also we keep telling ourselfs that we will stick to this
healthy way of eating and that it is better for us then the old way, but yet time and time again
we go back to the old way. Is this some kind of punishment or something? Have we done something so
terrible that this is what we get for it??? I tell you some days I wonder why I even bother trying
to lose weight, then I look down at my stomach and the rest of my not so perfect body and I
realize why I am putting myself threw the ups and downs of all of this ??? And then I think about
how much better I feel when i eat healthier and exercise. Thats why we do it and I know that I
can't give up no matter how frustrating it gets or how discouraging it gets. And I also know that
you guys will tell me not to give up. So I am not. Tomorrow is another day and I will get back on
track. Or at least I am going to try my hardest . I am going to do this because I want to do it
for me. I need to do this for me. Because of all the sugar that I ate this week I have felt

I gained 3 lbs and lost an inch one week, so some you win, some you lose! Just hang on in there and
get back on track. You have acknowledged the error of this week, but don't dwell on it: that's when
depression and giving up set in!
