Jumped Off the Wagon!

This weeks weigh in was not the delayed success of the previous weeks good behaviour that I had hoped for. I was feeling deflated and tired and I couldn't be bothered to count every last little thing that I put in my mouth especially as I wanted to eat everything in sight! I knew I had three food obstacles to overcome before the next weigh in and that it was unlikely that I would lose even if I could muster a modicum of self control at those social events. So I just jumped right off the wagon and stuffed my face. It is astonishing how quickly that weight comes back on, it really is. I put on 2.5lbs ... I'm back up to 10st 10.5lbs ... I don't like it.

Anyway, weigh in was on Monday. It wasn't pretty but I dealt with it and then on Tuesday we had the annual Girls Xmas Meal Out. It was a fantastic night with delicious food and fabulous company which I thoroughly enjoyed. We ate, drank and were merry and I told my leader that I wouldn't be counting my points that day. She said "That's fine ... you go out and enjoy it!" then she gave me a look and said, "Just get back on track on Wednesday morning." So far I have done as I was told. I feel it is unlikely that I will manage to claw back the points that I consumed on Tuesday night but if I can at least stay within my allowance for the rest of the week it should be fine. I am putting everything in the tracker and weighing things and planning out my days. It's all good. I have no major obstacles happening this weekend so hopefully I'll be able to lose some of what I gained and get down a bit closer to goal before Xmas comes around to tempt me into naughtiness. I am expecting to gain over Christmas ... I'm prepared for that to happen, I just want to make sure that i don't find myself back over 11st in January. That would upset me deeply!!!

So best behaviour where possible right up until Christmas ... a few days of merriment shall be had and then it'll be right back on the wagon for me ready for the first weigh in of 2010 on the 4th Jan.
