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...

Starting over

Hmm. Starting over is never easy. I'm on a new journey this time. I want to do this for different reasons. I want to do it for me. This week has been an okay one food wise, but I haven't been walking. I have had to suffer rain, but we needed it so it is hard to be mad about it. I know I may have lost a tiny bit of weight, but probably not much. Will weigh myself tomorrow. I had a few too many drinks still. BUT I swear I am trying! It is hard right now. I want to go to the doctor and request some weight-loss drugs. I don't think my doctor will give me them, and I know it is a weak way out, but I want the help. So don't judge me! Thanks so much for the support lately. Even the few of you who still check to see if I am around, your words mean a lot to me.

Do you want what you can't have?

On the way home from work I saw a girl with the figure I want, but will never have. She was young; I think probably around 16 or 17. She was tall with lean legs and she was wearing a pair of trendy short shorts with a t-shirt. She also had amazingly perfect large breasts. I admittedly stared for a moment at her because she didn't have one single blemish. She is so beautiful. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how I will never be that thin, I will probably never wear short shorts, and I definitely will never have those boobs. I wish I didn't look longingly at the things other people have and envy them, but I do. But I don't think I am the only one.

Tweaking

So I've done some tweaking to the code. I now think it looks better in Firefox than IE because IE is not recognising the best font. It is too late right now for me to concern myself with this. At least most of us can actually read it. Also I have to create a new weight chart that is compatible with this design. Thanks a lot for the input. Firefox users, is it better now?
