Ok, here goes. I lost 13 lbs. in 37 days and was getting impatient thinking things weren't moving fast enough, because I had read so many stories about people losing that amount in a mere week! Feeling frustrated, I thought, ok, so what, I've been working so hard and been faithful with the exercise (1 to 1 1/2 hours 3-4 days a week of advanced TaeBo and The Firm), so a little SF candy reward won't hurt.(Never "reward" yourself when you're frustrated) I thought, one day can't erase over a month of hard work. Well, that "little" reward turned out to be a binge. I ate 4 Russell Stover PB cups earlier today along with 4 SF turtles. Then later in the day I ate the rest of the PB cups(8).
More importantly, I also neglected to mention that last night I really
did cheat with a small size DQ cookie dough blizzard, definitely NOT legal (neither is loading up on SF treats). Now I'm so mad at myself I could scream!!!
Was my weight loss slow, average, or just normal? And would it hurt me to jump start things by going on the fat fast for a few days, then modified fat fast, then back to induction? Will I get sick going on a fast after this big blowout? I was planning on staying on induction until reaching goal, and was really enjoying doing it. I didn't have the carb craving until after that blizzard last night. And I don't even know what caused me to eat
that. Now I feel like I've undone all my good work. The scale showed a 5 lb. increase today.
It took nearly two weeks to take off those 5 lbs. Now what do I do?
Somebody please encourage me!
What should I do? Somebody PLEEEEEEEASE tell me the best way to handle this. I am so depressed that I blew it in such a big way.
