Having your cake and...

I had the best piece of cake yesterday.

I know, I know. This is a diet journal, but I couldn't resist. I usually decline cake on Birthday's at work, I even didn't have one on my own Birthday (at work that is), and the moment I saw it, I knew it was love at first sight.

It was called a called a coffee cake, but it wasn't coffee cake exactly. It was more like a normal sponge cake with coffee flavored cream.

It was heaven.

It really was.

Lets hope for my sake that I don't have too many more weak moments because if I can help it, I want to lose weight this week.

The weekend is going to be so hard with the wine and the cheese and all the eating out.

But if I gain I promise I am not going to be hard on myself, it is Easter, and my Anniversary, and I will still reach my goal by the end of April.

At the moment the scale is up again, but as I've noticed in past weeks this is nothing to get to worked up about, not yet anyway. Come Friday morning if it is up I will just record the gain and start again.

I haven't been able to stick to the 18 point plan yet, but I still have a few days in which to try to shave some points off. I could still do it. But I don't think it will be happening with coffee cakes floating around.

Thanks for all your encouragement over the last few weeks. I couldn't have made it here without you.

I have discovered something through the last year or so, about having a treat that is. When I eat something that I trully like, and I eat it with full consious of having it as a treat, and with no feelings of guilt, it usually doesnt make any real harm to my body. Like my body shares the happiness of having eaten something yummy, and it doesnt store it in its fat cells immediately. Weird, innit?

Maybe you gave your metabolism a good kick in the pants??? Sometimes a treat will get your body back in gear.

You're still in the game, always remember that!

My scale is bouncing around right now too so I know how you feel. It will start going down again soon. You're doing great! The cake sounded yummy. I'm jealous. :-)

yep - i am up there with others....eat it , enjoy it and move on. I don't know if you are like this but my problem eating is binging and when I binge I scoff and don't taste anything - you have devoured every mouthfull and stopped at one piece. Awesome work.

Don't apologise for talking about cake on a 'diet' blog - if you can't talk about it here, where CAN you talk about it! I hope you enjoyed every morsel - don't think about the points, it's only once, and it's what you do next that counts :)

I think that's one of the problems with going on "diets," per se. The word diet just automatically means denying yourself something. I prefer "food plan" meaning I plan what I eat, and sometimes that includes a piece of cake. Of course, what trips me up is falling off the plan...

Enjoy the cake and then get right back on your own plan...

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

Life happens

I wish I could tell you guys that everything is on track and that the reason I have not been writing is because life has just been too good. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Winter is generally a crap time of year for me. I thought that this one I could get a handle on it and not have it get the best of me. I was wrong. Exercise? Who me? Eat healthy? Um no. Last night I wanted chips so mr. ralph went out at midnight and got us chips and dip and we sat in our pj's watching the England and Portugal quarter final stuffing our faces. Am I painting a pretty picture? For the most part I eat well. I do. I do not stock my house with these kinds of foods. I have learned that because I am an emotional eater, it is better if I don't. But mr. ralph is too easy. Where I won't go out and buy something at midnight, if I ask him too he will go for me. Yes, I do believe we are in a co-dependent relationship, even where food is concerned. We both eat when we feel emotional....

Unbelievable results

You may have noticed that I changed the 70 to the left to 71. I don't know how it happened, but I actually gained weight this week. What is happening to me? I don't know what is going on, but the scale did say 71 two days in a row. Yes, I am at the end of my TOM and that could contribute to some of it, but a whole kilo? I looked at my calorie count from this week and I went over 1500 only 2 days, Friday and Saturday. Although I did much better this weekend than last, I still struggled with eating more on my off days than during the week. Another reason I had a horrific week was the heat. We had 4 days of over 40C in a row. Now that is just wrong. I can't handle heat very well. I did go for a walk on Saturday and when I came home thought I was going to die from heat exhaustion. Not good at all. I almost declared this week a no-weigh week due to my TOM but have decided to take it as it comes. So I weigh 71 today. Excuse my language but that number really scares the ...
