to lose long trek
Full Member
I have to date lost 48 weighty pounds since starting on 7th Jan 2008. I was unswerving in my battle until just this week. It started with a salad on the slopes at lunchtime and I have had 5 of those now; the rest of those days I stayed on the diet. I had family and friends over for a week's holiday and boy - they were eating and drinking and although I managed most of the week without going off the rails, towards the end of the week I was sampling their gin & slimlines. (As a bit of a laugh really - or so I thought). On their final night I had two gin & slimlines. They left, I was still losing weight, I shared a bottle of champagne with DH - only meant to have one glass. OOps I had two. Last night I had two g & t's and today I have had two bars, then when I was out at the shops - bought a small punnet of raspberries (one of my favourite fruits) and then bought four miniature "things" from the boulangerie. Two mini pain au chocolat and two mini pain au raisins. My plan was to have one of each and take the other two back to DH as a treat. They never arrived. I scoffed them in the car, in just the way that I used to before the diet.
I am not looking for a sympathy vote; I am jolly scared of the consequences of my actions. I came home and promptly had some g & t and then another two. I seem to have gone bonkers and after facing the difficult week with family so well. What worries me is that I need to reeducate my thinking on the subject of food and I dont have the tools in place to make the right decisions. It isnt good enough to lose the weight it has to be the thinking beyond the diet that will help me (and others) to maintain the reduction in weight.
I would be so grateful for any well meaning advice on this subject; I have a good track record until this week - so havent been playing games with the diet - UNTIL NOW. I am not proud of myself but disgusted that this is happening now. I can and will get back on track but how the blazes do I manage to stay on top of this situation.
