Saturday Weigh in Results are Shameful

Lindsey weighs in at 182.8.  A disappointing number not only because it is a 2 week set back but because I know why it is that high.  New eating habits fell by the wayside as I tried to cope with Jack being out of town and not having motivation to COOK anything besides oatmeal in the morning and fried eggs for lunch sandwiches.   My favorite meal became a snack and late nights were the norm.  (Just be glad I didn't break open a stick of butter for toast.... we don't even have bread in the house thank goodness)
Although it was a disappointing and shameful week, I am glad that it happened and that the consequences weren't as bad as they could have been.  I could give up.  I have done it before and who hasn't.  That is why we are still fat right?  You go and go and you do so well on a new diet for a while but it fizzles out.  You go on vacation.  Holidays. It slowly fades to the back of your mind but while you are eating dark chocolate mint truffles it seeps back into your thoughts.
I am NOT going to let this bad week push my new lifestyle away.  I like being skinny (skinny is a mindset for me now) and feeling good about my collar bones. I don't want to give up.  I won't give up.  I can't give up.  I have goals that I want so badly to accomplish and I won't let something good like bluebell icecream ruin something great like weighing in and seeing 170 **.
Here is to a stronger resolve and a knowledge of what giving happens when I get a little relaxed for just 1 week and giving in to a few temptations.
**Sometimes Baby likes to play with the scale and when she does it messes it up a little and when I get on it will say 176 or so. It makes my heart skip but then I remember that she played with it and I need to zero it out and reweigh but it gets me excited to ACTUALLY see that number for realzz.

DON'T GIVE UP
