What a crap weekend I've had! I might have to face the fact that I'm going to fail on this diet. Today I went to the cinema with Dean. We walked straight by the refreshments bit and I thought 'yes, my first film without nachos and popcord'. What happened when we got in the VIP booth? Free popcorn. I couldn't resist it, no matter what I kept telling myself. It's like my mind goes and I HAVE TO HAVE SOME. I feel rubbish.
Then I get home and make mischa some macaroni cheese. I put the leftovers (it was in a microwave dish) in a plastic bag to put in the bin. When she's eating, I go back to the bag and scoop some out with a spoon. I disgust myself, I really do.
Not a great day for me :-(

Karen stop beating your self up, an alcoholic falls off and has a drink, a drug user has one last fix and a smoker has just one more drag. We are all food addicts and we will at some time or other have just one bite. you will feel crap but believe me, get up dust off and drink the water, you WILL succeed......keep smiling chuck as Scarlett said "tomorrow is another day"
As Amenthist and Scarlett said 'tomorrow is another day' and tomorrow will be different for you. Please don't beat yourself up over it, just put it in the past and look to tomorrow and your future and you'll be fine.

This is early days on the diet, and we all find difficult things a trial.
Use todays experience to plan for the next time you go out or make a meal for another. Get the food in the bin/freezer there and then or destroy it in some way! Maybe next time at the cinema make the biscuits to munch on while watching the fils so you don't feel deprived.
Take Care, and don't be hard on your self... I am always one moment away from cheese or meat!!!
Keep going

Dear Karen
You said "I might have to face the fact that I'm going to fail on this diet". I reckon if you can do it for 24 hours, you CAN do it. I am doing it a day at a time as I am sure everyone else is too; it's the only way after a lifetime of addictive behaviour. And remember there will be slip ups - you are human - but they are a great chance to see you have another choice.
I think you have been really brave and honest by acknowledging what happened; accept it (AND yourself) and move on. I have to put washing up liquid on everything to avoid temptation so you are not alone.
As everyone says, try to find alternatives for those difficult moments. Walk away (from the temptation) if it gets too much but not the diet. Remember your easter egg basket triumph. You can do it and have you have proved you can do it.
Be good to yourself and congratulate yourself for making it well past week one.
Wishing you well and sending you a virtual hug.

Don't face failure - plan positive! Each slip is not the beginning of a big fall it's just that - a slip! Come on chuck - you're from Pontefract - you can do anything!!
Try and plan a bit better - cover all tempting food with washing up liquid, go to the loo when the free popcorn is being handed out. This diet is not about putting yourself through hell, it's about learning how to live with or avoid temptation now and in the future!
You can do it and think how much harder it will be next time if you let go now.
Also, look back on your own blog and see the ups and dowsn you've already been through - there have been good days and bad and you've made it through to day 10 so you can definitely make it through to day 100!!
Come on!!!

Hi Karen,
I've not posted on your blog before but I noticed Lesley made a comment on her blog and sensed you were having a tough time.
Don't be disheartend, you can do this, and a slight slip on the diet hill doesn't mean you can't get to the top.
Hope you decide to stick with it.
Regards,

Yeah - we sure are. i can't count the number of times I've popped in to see how you are and "Day 12" is beginning to get on my nerves!! Hope you've got over the hump and can get back on track. A slip really isn't the worst thing in the world!!
