[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm pleased with the results that I've been getting on my weight loss plan.  I know that I'm headed in the right direction - yay me!

But today is one of those days when I feel like I could eat a fruitcake and down it with a pitcher of eggnog.  Yes, I'm exaggerating but only a little.

How do I keep myself focused when temptation is everywhere?  [/quote]

That was me yesterday.  Sometimes you have to give in.  Especially if you've been doing well for a while.  My weight loss journey is going to take months.  I cannot restrict myself from treats and other "forbidden" foods for the duration.  It just has to be in moderation.  Moderation can be a small cookie at night or a fruitcake once every 2 weeks.  Yesterday I had a glass of wine, a few cookies, a 2 slices of pizza.  Definitely blew my calorie count for the day, but today is a new day and I'm back on track.[/quote]

That's a healthy viewpoint.  I think I'm going to make it through today w/o stumbling.  I do plan on allowing myself some treats closer to Christmas.

I'm hopeful that tomorrow will be a less tempting day for me :)[/quote]
