A good friend of mine came to visit me at college this weekend... and I ended up going a bit off plan. My meals were fine, the only problem was I live in Pittsburgh, and I'm sure you all know that with the Steelers being in the Superbowl, this weekend was a little out of control here. Friday night I had a bit to drink, which I know I shouldn't, but it's college, so it's really hard. Sat night I had a bit too much to drink to be honest, and ended up getting some fries with my friend, the alcohol just got my gaurd down a bit. Sunday of course was out of control and again I had a bit too much to drink and munched on a few cookies. Now I feel like I dug myself into a bit of a hole and I am not happy with myself. I did have a great time this weekend, and showed my friend a really good time. I'm just a little disappointed in myself for my moments, or should I say weekend, of weakness. I started up again today and am back on plan. It's also TOM so I'm sure my weightloss this week isn't going to be thrilling, I'm just trying not to get too discouraged. Just needed to let all that out.

Bad weekends happen. The important thing is that you have picked yourself up and restarted. Don't beat yourself up too much. Life is about choices, so you chose to have a few drinks this weekend and then you chose to recommit to LC today.

I grew up in Pittsburgh and also graduated from Pitt, so I know what you are talking about with the SB win.

Jane-It may help for you to reframe your situation mentally. You refer to this as a "weekend of weakness" when, in my opinion, it's not about strength or weakness at all. It's about choices. You are not a better person or worse person based on your choices. It's true that some choices support your goal of losing weight, and some don't, but I don't consider it a moral issue at all.

You have mentioned several times that you drink regularly. This is a choice you're making, not behavior that you have no control over. My observation is people who are the most successful are those who think of their behaviors in terms of choices that are firmly within their control.

Food for thought. Best of luck to you in your future chocies.
