Cheating? Who me?
Thank goodness, I think I have found a home. I was so good for four months I didn't recognize myself. My husband was on Atkins with me, and the support was so helpful. I'm a diabetic, the diet and the nearly everyday on the treadmill made my numbers go down, but the fact that I had only lost 6 pounds lead me to quietly say screw it.
Feeling better and doing better should have been enough motivation for me to stay faithful, but it obviously was not. Even after being sick for 2 days after a 4 day binge, I cheated as soon as I felt better. Is that an addiction or what?
I have cheated for the past 3 weeks. Friday we head off for a 16 day vacation. I'm too fluffy (trying to be positive here) for most of my clothes and my new bathing suit is the result of advanced structural enginering. I only hope I'll be able to stuff myself into it by the time I get to the actual beach.
I did have an idea from something one of you said. I don't think you meant to say it, but hey you take inspiration where you can find it. Anyway. Since I know I am going to continue to cheat while on vacation, maybe if I give myself permission to eat what I want as long as I write it down in my travel journal, maybe, just maybe I'll acutally cheat a little less if I have to face the list each time I make an entry. What do you think?
