Hang in there Stacyp, everyone has slip ups-it's the recognizing it and moving on that keeps us all going. Good luck!

Stacy, I don't know that many who could honestly say they were never weak. It happens to us all from time to time. If it were easy we'd all be thin. You have already made the 1st step - you are here. Go shopping, get some good healthy foods, prepare some meals and don't let yourself slip. Getting back on is a task in and of itself, but you can get there. We are all here for you. I know I am!

Stacy, They are right at least you see it and want to get back on track. I feel for you though. Last night I didn't do so good. We went for Chinese and although I tried to stay towards the proteins and a few veggies I know those sauces were not good for me. I did avoid the egg rolls and the wontons and the crab rangoon (all of which I love) but the scale showed it today. I usually do well when we go out to eat. But that is if I have an actual meal. If I order something that comes with a potatoe or rice or in your case pasta of course I try to see if I can substitute it for something but sometimes that doesn't work. If you can't avoid it what I usually do is remove it from my site right away. For example I was in that situation twice over the weekend. I went to a banquet Saturday night that served a large grilled pork chop, green beans, baked potatoe, rolland salad. It was a great meal for me except the potato and roll. They just brought the food to our table, no ordering so I couldn't request they not bring it. The first thing I did was give my roll to my husband and asked anyone if they wanted my potatoe. Nobody wanted it so I wrapped it up and took it off my plate and placed it off to the side so it was out of my mind. Got some strange looks but I didn't care. Then Sunday night we went to mexican. I got fajitas that came with a salad, rice and beans. I took the rice, beans, and tortillas and pushed them off to the side. I ate the meat, onions, and green peppers from the fajitas and the salad and it was yummy. Both times I took what I didn't eat home for my husband. Made good sides for him since he won't do this diet with me. Just a couple of tips (even though I have my fall backs too at times). I hope they help.

Nino you are amazing! I often go places and order the fajitas and make sure I just toss the cheese and stuff onto the skillet and stay away from the rice and beans and tortillas but at a Chinese place I think I would have lost some strength... so GO YOU!!! Great job!! Thank you for the little tips they are ALWAYS appreciated. Great job!
Thank you everyone.. I love the cheerful positive responses and not being berated for slipping here and there..

You know though, I bet you're still losing inches even if you aren't losing pounds. You're doing really good, and you know what you need to do to do your best. You can totally do this girl!

Nino, I can't recall who said it, but someone was talking about what they do when the no-no foods come to the table. They instantly cover it with oodles of salt/pepper and any other thing so it would no longer be edible.
But any time you can do it - ask that they not bring it at all. I love Mexican food beyone belief and if I were enjoying some of it with the rest in front of me, I wouldn't be able to ignore it. I HAVE to request they not bring it.
