B - oatmeal S - hot chocolate w/ protein S - SB diet breakfast bar L - ??? I'm in the "I'm not hungry, and nothing sounds good stage" today S - hot chocolate w/ protein D - My daughter's birthday dinner is tonight. At first she picked spegehetti o's but then she changed it to steak and potatoes and corn. And I bought her a birthday cake as I knew I wouldn't have time to bake one for her

Just noticed this, Candy. We all have regrettable days, but you are right - just have to get up and start again. "Failure" is not falling, but rather failure is staying down after you fall. I know you will get back in the saddle, if you haven't done so already. We've all come way too far to become discouraged now. I know exactly how you feel. I've had entire binge weekends and was 8 pounds heavier, bloated beyond belief, and extremly disgusted the following Monday. This happened a few weeks ago, in fact. You're not alone. We have ALL done it at some point. I'm not saying I won't do it again. Heck, I have midterms coming up in a few weeks and who knows, I just may eat my way through them. But I know if I do, I WILL get back on track and I know you will too. Hang in there, sister! Hugs, Tracy P.S. You'd better keep showing your face around here! Don't make me have to come out there and drag you back here!

Wanted to update yesterday's food for the sake of accountability... L - same but used reduced fat dressing rather than fat-free D - same but skipped the s/f jello desert and opted for some melon instead S#2 - add a 100 calorie pack popcorn. vits - forgot the evening calcium Exercise - I did Leslie Sansone's 1/2 mile "easy walk" with my mother to encourage her to get through it. She almost made it through the walk - not quite but almost. Maybe next time.

Happy Birthday Aliya!!! Sorry I'm a little late wishing it! Hugs, Wanda
