I think half of America's population blew it over the weekend. I KNOW I did. Like you I consumed my entire days worth in just one meal and I ate three meals just like the first!! LOTS AND LOTS of FOOD. But I had fun and now it's a new day and a new week and we can get back on track!! Way to go on the progress you've made. Less medication is always a REALLY good thing. And don't kick yourself too hard, everyone blew it! That's what the 4th is all about hanging out with family and friends and enjoying food.

You should be quite proud of yourself....less medications???? I think that says a lot....you are doing better than you think and even if one day wasn't so great...spread that out over the week, increase your exercise for a week and you will be back on track...promise! Whenever I think I have doomed my own fate...I just look back at my starting weight and then see where I am now...and I have made great progress...I am better than I was last week even...Life is so good....start smiling...hard to eat when you have a smile on your face!! LOL Stay strong and congrats on your progress so far!! Hugs, SisterC

Thank you! I've been beating myself up because I've gone overboard lately. I said tomorrow is a new day as well, and it is. I feel better knowing I wasn't the only one. We can both start over tomorrow. :-) You can do it!!!

Now it's my turn!

OK, I've responded to a couple of people in a couple of groups . . . now it's my turn! Today is 4th of July. Day of hamburgers and hot dogs. Well, I went a little overboard. I was doing real good, until dinner. It's funny how it doesn't take make to go overboard! Anyway, I had over my whole days calories, just at dinner!!

I know, I know, just get over it, it's done, and tomorrow's another day. I know that! I just need someone other than me to tell me that!

I've been so proud of myself. My doctor put me on an additional medication to control my sugars, but at the same time, I started here, and I haven't had to take the additional medication, and my sugars are the best they've been. Not just the best they've been, THEY ARE NORMAL, GREAT!!! All these years he's tried to drum into me "portion control", watch what you eat. I thought I was, but once I started here, and I started using the food log, religiously, I see now, I wasn't really doing it.

OK, I've beat myself up, but I am over it now. If there is anyone else out there like me, tomorrow's another day!!
