It has been tough for me lately...

Sassy is right, Marissa. When you're shopping, remind yourself that you have to answer for everything you put in that basket. Same is true for restaurant eating. You have decide what is truly motivating you and keep reminding yourself over and over.

Last night I had like 6.5 pts left and was totally miserable about it. I had a 4 pt Smart Ones and two slices of wheat toast. I was pi$$ed off and angry b/c I was hungry (but did it to myself by drinking a bunch of coffee with half and half and sugar earlier in that day- rack those pts right up) but the fact that I weighed in today kept me from eating anything else. And the payoff on the scale this morning was totally worth it!

Sept- we're all here to help one another! You can do it too- it's hard- trust me!!! Make a goal and just make a decision to stick to it! 1 week from today- weigh in and see the results start to happen

Don't be discouraged! Every once in a while everyone is entitled to slip a little. As long as you don't throw in the towel, you are better off than you were before you began.

Hmm....this post may be my way of making myself feel better for eating McDonald's for dinner last night

I have the same problem, but on the weekends. I am great during the week, and work schedule allows me to be disiplined w. food and snacks- I just leave them in the refigerator and eat at the designated times. On the weekend...gluttony I am unable to keep to a schedule b.c I am running around doing wedding stuff, and forget to snack. Plus, we eat out a LOT on the weekends, and I do not have the self control that I do at work when sitting at a table w. FH and friends that scarf down whatever they want. Every Monday I am in a vicious guilt cycle. I am lucky that my weigh in is on Thursday, so I make up for it during the week. Have not really managed to bank points yet, I am still hungry on the max of 25 so the weekends are killing me!
