**Once I got home is where my day fell apart completely. I'm finding myself COMPLETELY OBSESSED with junk food, primarily sweet things. I'm already thinking of NOT doing the 10/29 show as I don't know if I can do the diet again. I feel like I've been dieting for SO DAMN LONG that I just don't want to diet again. To be honest - I'm enjoying the junk food and I just don't feel like cutting it out - although the Tastykakes are gone now, which is good. My head just isn't "in it" right now. Since I haven't reserved a room for the NJ show or even mailed off my entry fee - I still have some room to think about it/decide - but I feel out of control with my food, yet don't really want to reign it in. I'm between a rock & a hard place right now. I don't feel depressed so to speak, but I'm tired of the restriction & limitations yet I'm tired of how I feel eating like crap. *sigh*

Wowzers! Just kidding mama! Be proud of what you have acomplished so far. Of course you need a break. You have been dieting for a long time. Just plan the next show out and give yourself a little time of. Just remember everything in moderation. Thats where I screw up. Back to one cheat meal a week?

Itchy from the ProTan coming off - which is a mess btw! Still a lil bloated so I'm going to take what I have left of my D-root this weekend.

I ate everything!! So all that's left is what I'm supposed to eat!! LOL

Going to plan on doing the show 10/29 - but will just play it by ear!

Even if you decide not to do the show it should help you get your eating back on track.

Well that's pretty much what I'm trying to do - sort of fool myself mentally that I don't have to have a Panic Attack that "Oh NO I'm doing another show & I have to eat XYZ now cuz I can't ever have it again!" I just need to relax & take it one day at a time.......

I can remember when you thought YOU COULDN'T DO IT! I'm so damn glad you gave it a shot You prove to yourself, no worries about those around you, but to yourself that you are indeed a fighter.

Speaking of this....have you actually taken a step back, looked at yourself in the mirror and said "Girl, you did it! You ROCK!" I mean really - you should do that if you haven't already. Seems like you're kind of in a whirlwind right now (which is TOTALLY understandable). All the build up to "the day" and then the drop off and BIG sigh after it was all over.

Take a bow - FOR YOU!
