Free Fallin'

The problem with being on a high is you're bound to fall.  Tuesday was my fall day.  After my WW meeting last Tuesday I was feeling good...remember my "new attitude?"  I ate healthy and yeah, Memorial Day weekend came but I didn't think I was THAT BAD.  The following Tuesday I weighed and gained 1 POUND!!!!  I was so mad at the scale and myself; I didn't take it out on the receptionist....lest you think I threw a hissy fit inside the meeting.  Nope I waited till I got outside and into my car and straight to the Sonic feeding trough!  My inner child, Mona (thank you for the name, Grainiaunt--  she says to pronounce it MOAN-A) came out and said "I'll show you!"  Who was I hurting?  Myself!  Did I feel better?  Yes, in a way I did.  Is there anything wrong with falling off the wagon every once in a while?  I don't think so, but you might not want to take my advice right now-- just saying!  There is, however, a WW leader on the WW online website who does say to use up ALL of your points and your points plus.  To me, that means whether you are on WW or not, a good "falling off the wagon" is okay, but not all the day and definitely not daily.  Once a strawberry starts to feel deprived, they tend to overeat.  Mona's example, on the other hand, was pure defiance...and a lot of pity eating.  Pity eating/ defiance/ boredom....heck, any type of emotional eating is not a good thing and should be avoided at all costs.  But I have to say, every once-in-a-while pity eating might cleanse the soul and your colon depending upon what types of food you eat.....or it might plug you up....so be careful with the pity eating-- you might fall harder than planned.

Have a great weekend, Grainiacs.  I'm off to work.
