A fall made good. (R1 Journal)

forthewin · 07-23-2011, 04:44 PM

After having a really bad fall from grace last night, I've decided to post here.

Yesterday was day 4 of R1P2 and DD & I were out shopping. I knew I should have done it alone during the day when she was at daycare. Running late for dinner, I grabbed her the happy meal she so desperately wanted. Turns out all that desperation was for a very pretty yellow strawberry shortcake toy. Needless to say, the cheeseburger fell to an untimely demise, and it didn't end up in her cute belly. I felt terrible it ended up in my not so cute belly, that I proceeded to eat a few more things out of sure anger at myself. Funny how that works.. hmmm.

So...

I woke up this morning, owning up to what I did and that I can't change it. I was more motivated than ever to get back on my VLCD. I didn't lose, but I also didn't gain from yesterdays 171.8.

- Had tons of tea, with all my fancy dancy stevia flavors. Love them.
- Currently enjoying the hCG spinach smoothie I saw posted.
- Spent the last 3 hours making and now baking 3 chicken/veggie meals from an HCG cookbook I found online. The house smells awesome and they look fantastic. Every serving from my calculations is under 200, and about 2.5 cups a serving.

I think falling on my tush last night really made me see the big picture. The food didn't make me happy. Seeing the negative on the scale each morning did. So, this wins.

Sorry to ramble, but putting this out there as boring to some it may be ended up being really therapeutic in some odd way. Maybe just saying hey I screwed up but fixing it, I don't know. Hope it can at least help someone else drop the guilt over a little slip.

This is my first time following any type of diet really, so there's bound to be mistakes. Just hopefully they were all made last night.

If anyone read this, thank you for taking the time.

me.

Of course we read it.

You're good to own the mistake. The important thing is to learn from it. You'll be fine, I think you're new enough into the hcg that it should not affect you too badly.

I hope so. Planning everything out today really helped, taking the guess work out of meal planning.

TY for replying : )

Good post -- it's good to be accountable, especially since you're going For the WIN, right? It happens, you sorted yourself out quickly and got back on track, so you DO win. Stay strong!
