My fiance and I went away for a 4 day trip to a casino...yeah you know the places. The ones with the endless buffets, endless cocktails....UGH! So after going to 2 Christmas parties in that week, we went away for 4 days. So mind you this was my bands worst nightmare.

 

So did I go to the buffets, yes. Did I probably eat more than I should, yes. Did I eat things I shouldn't have, yes. Did I drink with my meals, yes. The only rule I kept to was no bread (out of fear alone). I will give myself credit that I didn't eat A LOT! I ate a little of everything I wanted to try. I didn't over do it to the point of being sick. I did try to listen to my body. But ohhhhhh the food was soooooo good. Why is eating bad food, so good. It's like why are we attracted to the bad boys.

 

So I came home and thought let's get on the scale...to my suprise I was down 1 pound for the week. Mind you I have been losing about 2 1/2 - 3 pounds per week, but I was thrilled!!! I thought I really F*&KED up. But as i thought back over the week, I did have some restraint thanks to my band. I was a little disappointed with myself, but I hadn't broken a rule in 9 weeks...NOT ONE! I am sure if I didn't have this lovely band to remind me not to eat like a pig, I would have gained 3 pounds that week. Instead, I lost 1 pound. I am so happy I did this for myself. Now back to strict rules!!! I decided every 8 or 9 weeks, I can go a little nuts. I said a "LITTLE" nuts. I have to keep the demons at bay or this will all be for nothing.

 

I am going to New Orleans in February...OH GOD HELP ME!!!:tt2:

It's amazing isn't it?! Remember even skinny people don't eat the same every day and indulge now and then...we're just learning how to do it without OVER-indulging. :-) -BG
