[iwillbethin]

Thanks for all of your encouragement. I started back yesterday and i have only gained 5lbs as of this morning. I think it has alot with TOM which is due on Thurs. so maybe i really didnt have a gain...who cares! I'm back on full blast and I WILL try my DARNEST to make that GOAL i have for August!

Good for you! 3 weeks ago I also started a (2 week cheat) I had gotten down to 250.5 and then after the 2 weeks was at 262, then 257 and now only 8 days back on Induction I am at 250.5. Cheating sucks and makes you feel terrible. Good for you for getting back on. That's always one of the hardest parts!

Ride 'em cowgirl, we can beat those carbs!!!

you are not alone! my husband keeps telling me that i look so good. so i get it in my head, hey he loves me and thinks i am beautiful.. i can cheat a little. it's a bad habit to get into.

hang in there. you know what i am doing? i am reminding myself of why i am doing this. how i felt when i really decided to make the commitment. it wasn't easy, but after a few days of sticking to my guns, it got easier. just take it hour by hour if you have too. another thing that works, it's true, put the bad things off as long as you can. it really works! the other day, i wanted to cheat. i kept telling myself that i was going to do it.. in an hour. then when the hour approached i told myself, after i vaccum. then when i was done, i said eh, i need to clean the toilet (yes, anything). so the longer i put it off, pretty soon i noticed i didn't even crave it anymore.

stay strong. you can do this. you want to do this. your SN speaks for itself.

I know exactly what you mean. My husband keeps telling me I look good and I yell at him to wait to say that because I do not wnat my fat goggles to come off yet. I have hit a downward spiral of cheating and cheating because I had this mentality of I am doing so good I can take a break. Now I can't seem to get back on the wagon.

that's so funny you say that. i told my husband the other day, babe, i appreciate you being so supportive, but i have a long way to go. wait until i lose some more before you keep paying me all these compliments.

you will get back on it strong. i know i have been at this board quite a bit more needing the inspiration. go to the before and after threads. i love the pictures, they always encourage me to get it together. good luck!!

you are doing great, i messed up and went out friday night and drank and ate too much, but i jumped back and lost the 2 pounds i gained. i realized that it does hurts to cheat and this was a wake up call! gl ill be thinking of ypu..i know you can do it.

Just take that 8 pounds as a warning that you can put it back on and all that hard work will have been for nothing! No! Don't let it happen! Are you doing owl now or are you still on extended induction. I was thinking that if you went back on induction and did a totally clean one for two weeks, you could lose that 8 pounds, hang in there!

I've had a rough two weeks too!!! Maybe it's sort of the "summer blues", or maybe we just needed a break from the routine.

I know you don't see many posts from me on this board, but I read a lot of them, and you are my biggest inspiration! Don't give up! You can do it! You look absolutely fabulous!

Just consider the past two weeks a break, and move forward. :- )

Girl you keep going strong. You are my inspiration. When I joined this board I saw your posts with your pics......I look so much like you in the 226 pic. The shape....the size...that's me. And then to see you in your transformation.....oh if I can do half as good as you....I will be very happy.
