Ok so I went to Disney world a few weeks ago, I didnt eat good.. I didnt eat bad either just not the norm, but there was tremendous walking. When I got home I had lost a pound.. YAY me! However my sons birthday rolled around, no I didnt eat cake.. that day. We went to the school carnival and my lovely sons decided to do a cake walk.... they each won a cake. Here I am with three cakes, one black forest with whipped icing, one confetti with chocolate icing, and one strawberry cake with vanilla icing. I broke! I ate cake EVERY day for the last 4 days
Last night I even ate dorritos AND cake... (no not together one after the other) I told my husband to take it to work I want to see them no more. I feel really bad, I havent worked out since I have been back. Just feel like I'm slipping into old habits. I thought that by public confession I might be swayed in the opposite direction. I feel like I have gained 10 pounds over the last few days. I know I havent but its a set back.
worse yet (I was watching the BL last night when my Husbang grabbed the dorritos and suggested the cake)

My husband got the flu & my son got Croup about a month ago. The weather got cold and my babysitter won't watch my kid long enough for me to do a 1/2 hour on the tredmil. I think I've gained everything I lost. My eating habbits when down the tube trying to train a terrible new employee (she sucks). I don't think I'll make my goal, which is to run a 5K on May 6. So, pitty party over, new goal, run as much as I can of the 5K on May 6 and try to find another 5K close to run before winter!

My husband got the flu, my son had croup, and I fell off the wagon and gained it all back. My babysitter won't take my son long enough for me to walk on the tredmil after work. My trainee stresses me to where I make poor food choices another gives me anxiety. I'v come to realize I'm not going to make my goal of running a 5K on May 6. Poor me. New day, new plan. Run as much of that 5K as I can. Find another 5K somewhere close before winter comes. What's your new day, new plan?

Wow! Sounds like an instant replay from Biggest Loser last night!! LOL Did you get really sick from all the sugar?
We all slip up like that from time to time! I just had a nice binge last week and have been paying for it for about a week now, tummy problems. The TUMS corporation is glad I am around to pay their paychecks.

Sounds like you did the right thing to send the cakes to work with hubby. Now that you have confessed you will feel better and get back on track. Good luck with your weight loss journey!!!

Cristal- Now that it's out there, you can turn things around. Remember during the winter challenge? How we would feel weird missing exericise, and the need to get back out there? You can do it!

Cristal, we have had opposite experiences. We also went to Disneyworld (Mar 14-21), but I gained 5.5 pounds that week. I ate so much, including dessert, at every meal. We also walked a million miles (who doesn't at Disney), but I completely lost control of my eating. I didn't regret it too much though. I told myself before the trip that we had saved money for 2 years for the trip and I was really going to enjoy myself, BUT I would re-commit to the healthy lifestyle journey when we got back. I did it too and I've lost 13.5 pounds since I got back....crazy numbers, but I've been working my tail off. I hope you can find the strength within yourself, the support you need from your family and the nice people here on the BLL, and get back on track. You did a great thing by getting rid of the cake--there are some things I simply cannot allow in my house because I know that no matter what I'm feeling or how well I'm doing, I can't resist them. (Fresh baked Chocolate Chip cookies come to mind..lol). Have a great day today and know we're all pulling for you. Brian

I am right there with Brian. When i bake or a holiday comes around. I send all the bad food away!! Out of sight out of mind i like to think.
But you do have to give yourself some room to mess up, or you are going to fail even more. I know you can do it though!! Plus it's Disney World! At least you got to go, and you had a great time!!
