:biggrin:Ok I had been such a good girl all week! Didn't I deserve that fresh baked brownie? I walked in to a friends house to visit, and she offered the brownie! No, I said! I'll just take water~I am thirsty. Thinking that if I sipped on the water I would get full and not desire that delicious smelling brownie coming from her kitchen. Then she tells me that she put fresh walnuts in them, OMG my mouth is watering!

But all week I had gone on High protein and I was to kill my desire for Sweets by doing that!!!!

Darn Friends that don't want you to succeed. They want us to be FAT! They are jealous, but they don't control us ~or do they?

Ok the night moves on, and here it come, "Why don't you take a couple of these Brownies home to your husband? I am sure he would love some sweets, you probably don't bake much anymore!" The nerve of some people, truth is, I took the brownies and ate one on the way home!!!!! It was Sooooo good, and later, I was soooooo mad with myself, but now I know what to do, say NO NO NO Thanks! This is a real day to day learning process and a curve ball is coming you way and from almost every angle, so get ready and fight back! That is what I am going to do if ever in that situation again, but I got up the next day, A new Day, shook myself off and ate small portions of everything, hope that by tomorrow I will still have maintained my 4 lb loss this week, only 22 to go to 100 lbs, by July 29th, 2010 My Bandiversary!:confused:

You are honest! Now let it go! The Brownie itself is not bad your friend was so was sweet to offer up her home made Goodness she could have kept them for herself. But it is what happens to us after the fact. You will feel better being honest with her that you had one and let her now how good it was. You do not have to share how it made you feel after. Sugar sets me off as well, well more like chocolate is my passion. I try and fit something like chocolate or a good ol brownie into my plan. Makes me feel normal. Look how well you have done on this journey of ours. Keep it up and glad you could enjoy one brownie and did not eat them all like I may have done. Have a great day and Best wishes imaluckydog

I read this and felt like crying, because I undertand...you make great desicions all week and then something like this happens. It's happened to me before and sometimes it becomes a slippery slope because you've already messed up so what's the big deal with a little something esle. I'll start over again tomorrow, I say to myself. It's a daily struggle to do the right thing everyday. You've done an awesome job...don't worry about that day...but don't forget how you felt afterwards. Stay focused you're so close. Thanks for letting us know that we don't have to beat ourselves up for little mistakes...just move on...
