You know I think the reason I cheated was
no1 I felt good-I could fit into smaller clothes and then thought oh what the heck one cookkie won't hurt....but after nearly 28 years I should know myself a lot better---one leads to another and another and then oops the whole packet is gone!!(I didn't actually eat a whole packet!...but peeps I have done in the past!)
And no2 I was just so fed up of being in restaurants or with friends and just sitting there and drinking water cos there was nothing on the menu I could eat.And this has been for 18months.
And then no3 -the usual-I've blown it now so....
Actually I'm not sure the last one was entirely true this time. In a way I felt "invinsible" or something (well not quite! Hee) I felt like the extra stuff wouldn't really do much damage--like I'd gain 2 or 3 lbs and I'd easily lose them in a weekend!! I suppose the only good thing or let's say different thing was that this time I cheated because I felt really good, whereas before (as in before I started the low-carb) I ate when I felt crap or didn't care.

This all sounds like a woman who has come so far and learned from past mistakes. Im so very proud of you. And great job for jumping right back in the game. You had your fun (your words- for a lifetime) and now its time for us to get those extra pounds off! It wont be long before we're feeling at the top of our game again!!!

And I weighed today and haven't dropped anything-you would have thought the water-weight would be going. I'm hoping it's because TOM is here--but I usually don't gain with it so....It def has taught me that if I want to maintain later I can't cheat and I really have to exercise. That's it. And I def do believe my siggy now completely. If I want to wear small sizes and look good then this is gonna be my WOE forever...and I really do think it will be worth it.
Now my last rant for April!!!

GT! I'm a member of the 10 pound club, too. .I can put it on in a week..Errrrr.. so unfair. .

I always said. .if I could just take my stomach and move it to my chest. . I'd be a knockout!! In fact, I've tried to tuck it in my bra except I can't stand up straight. .

Most insurances require that the pannus (the flap of skin and adipose tissue that just hangs there) must be touching the thighs to approve abdominoplasty AKA (tummy tuck). A doctor may suggest removal of the pannus if you have a problem with yeast growth there and or open sores that do not respond to treatment. I'm getting approved because my pannus touches the top of my thighs just barely!! But that's to be expected when you have lost 175 pounds!
