Still working on my issues

Rate this Entry
OMG, last week was such a disaster. My birthday always depresses me, and it fell on Friday. That, and a HUGE basket of Halloween "poison" at the office--not a good combination. I gained back almost all the weight I lost last month.

Oh, well--live and learn. Perhaps next year I'll take off Halloween week so I won't be surrounded by temptation when I'm feeling low. I do that for Christmas week every year too. Thankfully, my company has a generous vacation policy.

I've attended a couple of OA meetings, which was helpful. It's nice to talk with others in the same boat, and inspiring to see people who've worked the program successfully. I will go again tonight.

    No worries Kittymommy! I had the EXACT senario happen to me last week too! It was my B-day Thurs - but the "celebrating" started Tues - Sun & I gained back 9 out of the 12# I lost during that week. I went back to raw Mon. & lost 3.5# so far! I'm sure it was all the water weight from the salt.....hang in there, back on track - one meal at a time

    I'm glad you're here. That says something. I've been here for a few months, and you see people come in like a lion...and then poof...gone without a trace. So you're ahead of the game. ( :
    ps. glad the meetings are helping.
