Back on it after a weekend off

[JanBow]

My daughter turned 18 this weekend and when I started S&S two weeks ago I knew that I'd be taking the weekend off the diet and that's exactly what happened. It was a lovely weekend of celebrating with lots of eating out and so I wasn't at all surprised that my weight was up by 4 lbs (in fact I was slightly relieved LOL), straight back on it today though and not feeling too bad considering.

Just need to get those pesky carbs back out of my system and then it's down all the way to Christmas (I hope)

Well done ofn getting back to it - that's the part where some people have problems! Good luck on the rest of your journey.

Thanks Weasy, I think because I knew all along I was likely to come off, I was prepared and knew I had to get straight back on it Monday or that would probably be the end of it! x

I know what you mean. I think that if you deliberately take some time off it pays huge dividends to have a plan in place for getting back to the diet afterwards - even to the point of planning what packs you'll have on the first day back and imagining having them. Otherwise it's very easy to give yourself persmission to have 'one more day'.
