Why is it that it's so hard to stay on the healthy lifestyle wagon once you've reached a certain point? Since January I've lost well over 15 lbs. and though I'm very happy with the way I look, I'm not quite as muscled as I would like. Nonetheless, since I moved back home last week I've been eating as though I have a well for a stomach. Chocolate moon pies from the vending machine, Mom's homemade almond chocolate chip cookies, Dad's Lays potato chips, banana's foster cheesecake from Copeland's, bacon cheeseburgers and fries from Goldberg's are only a few of the sweet/salty/fried things I've enjoyed recently.
You name it, I've probably eaten it within the past 10 days. It's a funny feeling to recognize that you're slowly but surely falling off the "diet" wagon. Obviously I have the word in quotes because any health expert advises against using it, as it implies that once you've reached a certain weight you'll go back to eating biscuits for breakfast and peanut butter smothered bagels for dinner. Ahem, not that I know anyone who does that, of course...
I guess admitting there's a problem is always the first step. Hm.

I do the same thing when I go home!! But it's never too late to get back on...or at least that's what I tell myself.
Peanut Butter bagels? Pass the knife, please.
I think it's ok to be a bit unrestricted for a while. You've been doing SO good, and I think you will naturally revert back to the healthier lifestyle, once your body is like "whoa, Brown, WHAT did you just eat?" What the point in enjoyment if you can't go crazy once in a while? Just for a little bit. Then, it's back on. We should hold each other accountable to that, I think. Go Team!
