Sunday slum....

So I suppose there is no time like the present to be honest. The weekends are the hardest time for me. The hardest time to stay on program, to stay within my points, to stay focused. Why....To much free time! Plain and simple, its easy to become bored and let food fill the void. I typically weigh in on Saturday's and to be completely honest the last few weeks have been terrible. I have been gaining for several weeks now. Until yesterday that is, I lost 3.8 pounds. Whew!!! It was like a weight off my shoulders. (my shoulders lost weight?? lol) As much as everyone thinks at this point I should be a complete and total pro...know all the in's and out's of the weight loss world. But here is the god honest truth. I struggle, I get frustrated, I hit wall's and I was starting to wonder if I was ever going to break through it. I started to doubt myself and my ability to take control of my life. The problem is that as much as I wish this weight loss thing was simply about burning more calories that you eat its truly not. Its more about your brain than anything else. I think that figuring out what the disconnect in your mind is and determining what you need to do to fix that problem is soooooooo rough. So I guess that I sorta let myself umm...not really fall off the wagon so to speak...but I guess I kinda jumped. I didn't work out this weekend, I didn't eat right, and I didn't stay on program. Now, what have I learned. I am human, I make mistakes, sometimes I make the wrong choices. What else did I learn? Tomorrow is a new day, I am going to have to work hard this week to keep from gaining, I have a lot more to learn. Sigh.
