I have to be honest with myself and my lapband family. I have been cheating for the last 2 weeks and it shows, I started working out and I found my appetite increased from where it was which would not be a problem if i ate the correct foods but my sweet tooth got the best of me and the double chocolate chip cookies from wholefoods became by vice. I have now put back on 7lbs eating junk oh and i justified by saying well I'm working out and it muscle weight (just lying to myself I know) so I decided to come clean and make a new start today so I can move on. So now that I told on myself I feel better. Thanks for listening.

Hi Photoman,

Kudos to you!!! Being honest with yourself is the first step to overcoming obstacles!! I admire you for coming on here and admitting that you have made some mistakes, even though it is tempting to blame it on muscle gain..Grin! I have been there too hehehe :cursing:

It is okay that you have gotten off track, everyone does. If you have to look on the bright side of all of this, imagine how many pounds would been added if you hadn't been working out!! :thumbup:

Now that you have acknowledged that you have made these errors, go forward and start again. :smile2: Today is a new day!

Good luck! :smile:

Today is a new day! YOu can always fix what you have done wrong. You should go back t doing a protien diet for a week (shakes and broths) and lose the 7 pounds and start not allowing yourself carbs. Go back to the basics. It is great you admitted to cheating and you are half way there to feel better. Now focus and don't let yourself give excuses about work. Keep your chin up and move on!!:cursing:
