:thumbup:ok so it happens!

How can we go for the longest time dropping weight, saying NO! to foods we know will sabatog our plan, feeling great, We DID it! And then, one day we DON'T write down the food we ate that day, or we didn't drink enough water, or we ate a SMALL peice of candy or cake or some forbidden fruit that will kill the ketosis! One day leads to the next and we fall into a sloppy habit~but we are busy and there is just no time? (Or we don't make the time~NOW do We?)

BUT we are eating the rest of the time right, and we are going to the Gym two to three times a week, and in between LIFE HAPPENS!

We don't measure portions, we guage our intake of foods, (they are usually way too much, because our brains are not banded) Can't blame this slip on the Band! Maybe we are in between fills and we are stretching that band too much by consuming too many calories, (even a trip to the Gym will only even the count; so maybe you just stay the same, not lose a lb!) I'm just sayin!

Life Happens~that is usually the case, or I know it is with me.

NO STRESS! Let's see, The Economy is in a horrible state, I am building a house, about half way to the finish line, decisions, decisions.

I am in about two lawsuits; hopefully they will result in getting my major investments back so I don't lose all my retirement! They have been ongoing for about two years now.

My youngest daughter just announced that she is getting married this year and I am very happy about that; UNTIL the first planning meeting with future in-laws last night. Looks like a VERY expensive wedding~~~hummmm lets see, now who gets to pay? My house may get put on hold (AGAIN)

Extremely HAPPY that my oldest daughter is Pregnant, after trying for 8 years and lots of surgery, etc. We are in a state of Joy over it. Then I find out my Oldest Sons wife is Pregnant too, and both babies are to come in the same WEEK! Wow! Just like Twins and in my family grandbabies come in twos! Two and a half years ago, we got a little girl and a little boy 11 days apart by my two sons! (So how to I be with both at the same time and help out a little? S-T-R-E-T-C-H~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Car is messing up, and it won't be cheap to fix it, AND I am NOT going to trade, cause I don't want the monthly payment! Haven't had it paid off that long~ISN'T THAT THE WAY IT ALWAYS IS?

Today is my youngest Grandsons first Birthday and the party is tonight! (Of Course there will be lots of Food!)

I ate three or four large bites of ITALIAN CREME CAKE last night! Now I am ridden with GUILT:eek: I did what I taught myself NOT TO DO! I said "Oh Well, I am celebrating my Daughters Wedding!" (And I am worried about money) So have the darn CAKE, it will make you feel better, COMFORT!) It was~FOR A MINUTE! NOW I feel miserable and I can not UNDO it~:thumbup: Oh if they only had the UNDO button on food like they do in PHOTO SHOP! LOL

So today is Friday and TGIF, If it was MONDAY I could start over, RIGHT?:thumbup:

WRONG! I am starting over today, I AM GOING to WRITE DOWN all my food today, I AM GOING To only eat Protein for three days, and control the portions!

Monday I will check my Ketosis, hopefully I will be there~Then I am going to stay on Mushies for 7 Days, lots of protein, not over 50 grams of carbs or LESS:scared2:

I should drop a few lbs with the Start OVER!

In spite of it all I am on a good track to healthy~So I am each day on a roller coaster of Happy~Upset, Happy~Upset, Good News, Bad News, Good News, Bad News. Dealing with Husbands trials, childrens trials, Financial trials, Up~Down, Worried about everything from day to day. Spending a lot of time in Prayer, asking God to take this from me.

:thumbup:I thank God that I have had the Lap Band Surgery, and I am going in the right direction, even tho I lose my way and get off the track, I can only look forward now, I WILL NOT GO BACK!:thumbup:

If this happens to you, and I may be the only one, but I am just sayin!

Get your mind screwed back on, start thinking positively and looking forward and get back with the plan, and you will prevail.

1. Keep the food log.

2. Drink the water.(to flush the fat and keep hydrated)

3. Exercise three times per week.

4. Get that much needed protein.

I hope you have a great weekend and a positive week ahead.

"Life Happens" We just have to resign to live the LapBand Life~For Life~"

I love being thinner and the LapBand Life is the life for me and YOU!:thumbup:

It is great you think this way... everyone had a bad day/week. YOu have a lot going on and we are all human.
