Nothing witty, no self pity, no more tears. I am just taking today as one day and tomorrow will be one more and so on and so on. Yesterday I did really well with my eating. Today I am doing extremely well. Funny how when dh is working I can do really well. Shows ya how our worlds and 'fun' revolve around food. I have lost a couple of pounds that I had gained over the past week or 2. I am injured (neck & shoulder) and the past week I have have eaten out of self pity I guess. Made me feel good, I won't lie about it. Now I am still injured & weigh more. Jesus, does it ever end? I mean really? SO...what I am going to do is the one day at a time thing. I have to do it that way. For today I am going to make good choices. For today I will move around and get more exercise than normal. For today I will not beat myself up for gaining weight over the past ...year. (almost) :tounge_smile:. It is what it is. Today I can do my part to repair me. Today I applied the bandaid to stop the bleeding I have caused. Tomorrow I will wake up and apply a new bandaid. I can heal myself, one day at a time. That's that.

I liked your post and it hit home, you are not alone...

Tracy..you and I both know you can do this. You just have to find the right groove. I know well about the skips and bumps. I finally feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to with the band, but I know I can ruin it in a heartbeat. So stick with it. It doesn't matter how many times you start, the important part is to finish. And YES, WE CAN!!!!!!!
