Wednesday, Aug 4 2010 - Realize that change is a process.
View MIDDLEROAD's food & exercise for this day
Feel like giving up. Was good all day yesterday and then went out for dinner with my kids to an Italian place. They were all eating the bread and I tried some and it was so good I couldn't stop eating it. Normally I wouldn't take even one piece, but one piece and I was off. I had eggplant Parmesan, probably not the best choice and ate the whole thing. Then to top it off I had a glass of wine. Feeling really bad about myself and wanting to beat myself up over it, but I must resist the feeling and counteract it with positive feelings. I must realize that change is a process and takes time. I can't lose my weight overnight and it takes time to change habits. I am doing the best that I can and that is good enough. Just don't give up. Never, never, never give up.
4:36 update Been fighting the munchies all day. Mostly because I am bored, I guessed. Wanted Cheetos, but didn't buy any. Wanted cookies, but didn't buy any. Snacked on some nuts someone put out in the office. I wish they wouldn't do that! Nuts are a hard one for me. Had a lot of calories already. Can't splurge on anything else. A little dinner, a little exercise and that's it. I am in charge. I am in charge. I am in charge.

Don't give up! This is a tough road and we all have been there. It took me a year of being on CK before really diving in and going for it. I kept putting up my own road blocks, but Jan 4th I kicked them down and started fresh and so far so good. You will get there and you are doing great, you are already down 8 pounds and that's awesome!
