Hi everyone...
Well, I said I wasn't going to do it, and I tried real hard, but I cheated and ended up gaining 3 pounds.
My husband was in a wedding away from home, which meant we had to stay in a hotel for a couple days. We got to the hotel Friday afternoon & ended up going directly to the rehearsal & the following dinner. Wouldn't you know, the dinner was lasagne. It was my full intention to either not eat & pick something up at a nearby grocery store afterwards, but by the time dinner was actually ready, I was ready to eat an entire Deli counter. (Not eating at all that day really screwed me up...) So...I took a small piece of lasagne & thought I'd eat everything but the noodles. By the time I scraped everything "bad" off my plate, I had edible food about the size of a quarter & felt horrible thinking that I was going to waste all the other. So, I ate it. It wasn't even all that good.
The next morning, I decided I'm going to hop back on the proverbial wagon & start over. I was fine all day until the wedding meal itself...roast turkey with mashed potatoes & gravy & stuffing & on and on... I did fairly well, until the bride brought me over a plate of potatoes & stuffing. Then she sat there until I ate them all! I couldn't believe it!! So Saturday was messed up as well.
Then it was time for my husband & I to leave on Sunday morning. Not even thinking...I grab a doughnut from the hotel's breakfast spread. Again, huge wrong move.
I ended up gaining only 3 pounds, but I hadn't even lost 20 yet, so it really set me back. Just got off induction a week (?) prior & now I'm back on it.
It's really not too bad, and I've lost the 3+ in a week, but I could be over my 20lb. mark already, which makes me sick to my stomach!
Maybe I'm not ready for this? I've still got over 100 lbs. to meet my goal weight, and with these "mini" mind-lapses, I'm afraid I'm not going to get there. Did anyone else here take a "mini" LC vacation & end up better than ever? Was this just my little lesson learned? (And believe it, it was a hard lesson).
Thanks for letting me vent...
Sue
