The Trap

So at Thursday's weigh-in I was down 1.4 pounds and officially down 20 pounds total.  I "should" become Lifetime this Thursday.  It's been a rough road and despite numerous set backs and the slow progress I was pleased with myself.  So, why did I go all rebellious this past week-end.  I attended a party on Saturday and of course today was dinner out for Mother's Day...No snack was off limits.  I didn't even try to count points, I just said "screw it" and put a big X through my tracker pages.  I was ready to scrap the whole week when my darling hubby (watching me cram yet another cream puff into my mouth) said I think you need to get back to counting points tomorrow (Monday).  Why is it so easy to slide into old habits?   I think what concerns me most is how I was so willing to just toss away the whole week.  Now I am thinking I will just skip Thursday's meeting/weigh-in because I don't want to answer for my slip-up.  I know I will the scale will be up. Oy.  Weekends like this make me feel like a fraud.  Anyway, I promise you all, my husband and myslef that I'll get back on track tomorrow.  Good night.

You are welcome to eat my little puppy.  I think he would just about fit into a crock pot.  (can you tell I'm at my wits end--he won't SLEEEP).

Today I ate an entire box of these new things from Pringles, called Stix or something like that.  They are nothing like Pringles.  They are little Honey Butter Sticks and were clearly invented by the devil.  And to think my WW leader turned me on to them.  

Ack.  I'll be in the gym all night now.
