Well - a pretty large gain is to be expected. I have been off my fasting and DASH for about 3 days. I think/hope the weight will drop back to where I was pretty quickly - so much sodium in the meals I ate, plus sugar. Nonetheless, this is about a lifestyle change and in my life every once in a while I am going to have a carrot cupcake or go to family's house and eat cold cuts, or enjoy a drink with friends. While it may not be on my plan, it is part of my life and that is ok. I am not exactly thrilled with the gain but that is ok too. My journey may take longer because I allow these little off plan events, but that is ok too. It is my journey and I am learning each step of the way.
I remember when I quit smoking - the one thing I thought I learned (for me) is that I can't just have one cigarette, no, I could not do that - if I had one, then it would evolve to a whole pack and sometimes to smoking all over again. But that was all in my head. When we first started dating my now husband knew I smoked and was ok with it. But that changed and he wanted me to quit - so I hid it from him. When we decided to elope, I told him the truth and quit smoking forever in that one day. It has been over 19 years and I have not had a cigarette, I don't think about it and rarely do I ever even dream about it.
So, the lesson that I am trying to portray, is everything comes in time - when one is ready for a change, then that is the time in which they will change. I have changed my diet and I am working on getting healthy and I don't think a holiday weekend deviation from the plan is going to derail me, like smoking one cigarette used to, because I am ready for this change and I want it. But I am also realistic, and I am going to have a sweet treat every once in a while and I am ok with that and the consequences that come from that.
Here's to keeping on! Loved my time with my family! Got to visit with all 3 of my siblings and it was a true blessing!
