Well, I bit the bullet and weighed in tonight. I knew I was going to gain, but I was still shocked to see that I had put 2.8 lbs back on. I felt numb sitting there through my meeting. Then after the meeting, of all the things, I had to go grocery shopping for Thanksgiving. I couldn't help but think of all the obstacles that I was going to face during the rest of the week. Well, I came home and thought about it. So I sat down and figured out exactly what I was going to eat for the whole day on Thanksgiving, including breakfast and a late night turkey sandwich. I was able to plan for a little bit of everything, 2 glasses of wine, and a slice of pie. It will use up all of my points for the day and I will have also have to "bank" 4 points tomorrow in order to have wine but just having planned the day out makes it much less scary and I actually thing that I will be able to get through the day without blowing it. The day after Thanksgiving we are going to Boston to visit my sister's family for the weekend. I am already planning in my head a few things to bring with me to snack on so that I do not screw up those days either. I know that this will be a true test of my determination but if I get through this week successful then I know that I can get through anything. Although, I did gain this week, I am working on putting it into perspective. I realize that I have still maintained my 25 lb goal. And I know that by sticking with the program this week, those 2.8 lbs will drop right back off. So, what's done is done, no changing it now, I just need to put my energy into making it through the next week. Thanks for listening to me ramble.

Trixie all you gained was 2.8lbs??? That is nothing that could be a pair of heavy earrings you were wearing or rock necklace!!! You can not get down about it at all. First of all you went, alot of us, ok..me would of skipped the ol weigh in, but you faced it head on. 2nd of all you are going into a time of holiday meals and cheer and visiting, this must be a very tough time for all dieters and you sound like you are gonna do just fine and if you slip up just get back to it. Your doing terrific, just think next year when you are driving to your Thanksgiving celebration, think what you'll be wearing...what size you will be! Let us know how it went, but don't worry and do the best you can.

Trixie don't beat yourself up about the 2.8 lbs. Remember, the body has its own way of adjusting to the changes that you are "putting it through." You know us gals can have hormones from outer space at times. The important thing is that you have set-up some guidelines for yourself; and please, do not get down in the dumps if you happen to eat an extra little helping of food during this time of abundance. Enjoy the spirit of the holiday which is about giving thanks for what we have, where we are going, and the love we receive along the way. Happy Thanksgiving!

hey...you are back on track and that is what counts, right? We are human and these things happen. Thank God we can control how long we go *off*. Planning your trip and Thanksgiving day is a great idea. You will be successful!
