May/June weight loss challenge

[limewave]

I will be so lucky if I break-even again this week. We just had DS 1st birthday party and I made a chocolate fudge cake with peanut butter frosting covered in peanut butter cups! It was amazing. And I had too much. Plus, we ordered a BLT Pizza which I ate too much of as well. I enjoyed every morsel.

But, it's time to get back to reality and eating healthy again.

Lime - you're doing fantastic. You've dropped so much in the past year - it must feel so good!

I'm glad you enjoyed every morsel. Seriously. I think an indulgence now and again is really important. If we never allow ourselves any treat, we not only get resentful of the whole process, but we also don't learn how to survive "in the real world" of eating day to day once we accomplish our goals.

Afterall, there isn't just "gain weight" or "lose weight" mode. There's also "maintain weight" mode. So, if you have a treat and maintain for a week, that's tells you something about what kind of eating habits you'll need to maintain later to sustain your new healthy weight.
