I regress

So I celebrated my birthday for two weeks with totally off the wagon eating. Cake, Olive Garden, vacation... I had no self-control. It was really hard to stop. Today I talked to Ana who brought me back to earth. I worked hard for my deadline of 2/23 and without a goal I've floundered. My "reward" eating is back. "I've earned it", "it's vacation so it's allowed". Slippery little slope and I was back in my old (size 18) mindset. Amazing how easily it was to return to my old ways. So starting tomorrow I am back. It'll be tough this week as I'm traveling for work but small victories and control will dictate my life again. I go to my physical in a few weeks. Last year I told the doctor I was "working on" getting my weight under control. I have and I don't want a couple weeks to undo some of my hard work. March 29 is the new goal, I want to remain in the low 170's so my achievement is properly reflected. It's a hard road but I just must remember how fleeting the enjoyment is. "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips!"
