So true. My mind and my principles were put on hold so to speak. One I hope that does not happen again. As for lot of us, food and family played a big part in my life. I have to wrap my mind around the fact that how I am feeling, thinking etc is just not worth that taste. The sad part of all this is at first the stuff tasted not quite the same. The more I ate it though the better it tasted. Should a could a now is hindsight. Onward and forward.

We learn from our failures as well as our successes. I am going to Hawaii in three months. I plan to eat off plan. Vacations are for fun and relaxation. If staying on plan is to stressful, be less struct for awhile. It's OK!

Lady, it did not help while being on vacay, my sister that was with me and the rest of my family lives in Myrtle Beach, SC. Talk about stress. Being on the phone with my mother and you hear your brother say another tree is down. Or the water is up to top step of the house you grew up in and you KNOW that is a lot of water coming up. Whew. And they are still not out of it. Eating my stress is how I got to where I am and evidently have not learned how to deal with it any other way. I tell my grands " Don't be 62 and learn these things. Learn now".

I would like to get to the point of eating correctly for me is as easy or as natural as breathing. I am a work in progress. Where I am today and where I was last year this time is like night and day. There has been a lot of stress and sorrow these last 10 months. If I had kept it up I would be over 200 lbs now. Baby steps add up. 4 months ago I would have said the he** with it and come off vacation and not looked back on the good way I had been eating. I would not have had the where with all to even be thinking about the differences I feel when eating poorly. So for one step back I have taken 3 steps forward.

Its all about making the best choices possible. The more good ones you make, the less bad ones you can make. Each day has many opportunities to make several choices that can benefit your health. Step by step, choice by choice we can be better to ourselves and our weight loss journeys will Jane a better outcome.

Norma, this resonated with me "Eating my stress is how I got to where I am and evidently have not learned how to deal with it any other way. " I know how you feel b/c I do/did the same thing. But listen, think about how you can handle 90% of the daily events in your life and sometimes something comes up that just surpasses your coping skills. I had this happen to me last weekend. But it's not the end of the world. You are doing what you need to do - you are recommitting! And I did the same thing. You are not week or a bad example just b/c you had a few days of off-eating. You maybe lost a little time but you can come back and learn from your mistakes. Keep on rockin' it!

Oh, wow. How can you relax when your loves ones are in a hurricane? I feel your pain. Seems like everyone is safe, though. You are back on track, and that is awesome.

It's so significant that you observed your body was in more pain from eating poorly! That's what keeps me on track - that creeping joint pain that accompanies creeping carbs.
