Before After

Not perfect, but still going strong

Lastnight I had dinner at a friend's house.  I knew it'd be challenging and perhaps a little too soon to really do well with the situation.  I ended up eating 2 bowls of chili and it was completely delicious.   We'd also gone to the local Chef's Market and picked up a HUGE bag of Kettle corn, so had that moreless as dessert.

Later when I was home, I ate a lot more from that bag.  A binge,  I fell asleep on the couch until 5AM and then went to bed.  This morning, I got up and threw the rest of the kettle corn in the trash and have been committed to being on plan since. 

Tonight -- 8:30 pm -- I've eaten everything on plan and I'm quite full.  It feels great to have not given into prolonging the binge.. taking it for what it was and just moving on.  A definitely good sign.  I've been lazy all day and I need to do some work for work.  I've been putting it off all day.  Trying to get as much of the new website populated as possible in time for our big meeting on Tues.

No one is perfect!

We all slip up, that is completely normal. I am proud of you for not blowing the whole diet because you strayed one time. That is such a wonderful thing. Give yourself a huge pat on the back!!!

Honesty

I agree with Gwynn.  The important thing is that you didn't use the slip as an excuse to stay done.  I haven't yet learned how to do that.  I hope you give youself credit too for being honest.  It's so difficult to do that, but you did.  It's frustrating when our progress seems so slow to us, but the important thing is that you are still making progress and can recognize that.  Keep it up!
