I got on the scale last night, which I knew was a bad idea. I just got back from a week of "vacation." I worked out on saturday for the first time in a couple of weeks and felt really good, but felt my double-chin coming back so I hopped on the scale. I gained 3 pounds and am not happy.

Abby! Get Back on the Bandwagon!

I hate feeling like I'm starting over. But here I am again, starting over. Granted it isn't as bad as a couple of months ago, where I ignored my scale for almost a whole year, but non-the-less, starting over.

I'm not eating a whole lot, so my band is still at a great restriction, it is the fact that I sneak treats. I need to stop sneaking treats. I need to get back ont he food log. That keeps me accountable each day. The scale is only keeping me accountable each Friday. No more icecream, no more cookies, no more making treats for Anthony and then eating them like I can.

I know this will be an easy transition. I don't really want those treats. I just need to stop justifying it. Stress is not going to be an excuse anymore. No more fast food. Be diligent with my food choices and even though I'm doing well I could be doing better.

No more excuses:

Get my ass to the darn gym!

No more icecream, brownies, etc!

Use my food log!

Be good, I will be happier in the long run!

Use this blog to vent and be an emotional wreck! - that is an acceptable outlet

I need to be my own hero! Live for me, Be happy for me, Put as much time into me as I do into others. Going to the gym, walking the dog more, and eating better will make me feel better about me. My happiness is the best motivation!

Now this is the pot preaching to the kettle. You've been on this journey a lot longer than I have, and it sounds like you've done really well.

Always remember, you are human after all. Now that you know that you've messed up, clean up your act and get back to business! YOU CAN DO IT!
