Weigh in was late this week due to Thanksgiving. I was not looking forward to going on the scale after all the turkey and trimmings. I knew I did not eat very good this weekend but it was a holiday and I have a hard time saying no to pumpkin pie with whipped cream or eating lots of turkey with gravy. I stepped on the scale today and it still says 194. So I didn't gain any but I didn't lose any either. I think my walking every day saved my butt on the scales. I am still walking to and from the school so I get exercise with that. I also think that drinking lots of the loose tea has been good for me. I'm not drinking as much alcohol anymore. Instead of a glass of merlot before bed I am having a cup of coconut black tea. I love it and it unwinds me without the extra calories or alcohol. I did not get to my goal of 190 which I had for my birthday. My birthday is in a few days and I will not be dieting during my birthday weekend. It's too hard to diet and I am going out to eat at my favorite restaurant. I also plan to drink this weekend. I will eat clean until Saturday and then be back on Monday. I am only 4 pounds from my goal so I am going to keep on track and I know I can reach it if I don't give up.
It's been a hard journey but it's worth it and I am glad for this blog to be able to write out what's been happening. I need to post more here. I've been avoiding it lately because I knew my diet was not doing very well.
May the force be with you.

Hi Padme
Please don't be too hard on yourself! We tend to set our goals too high at times and sometimes we don't make them, but that doesn't mean you didn't try really hard. :) And Thanksgiving on a diet cannot be fun or easy. I am sure you will be back on track soon and I hope you start posting here again so we can support you:)
Big Hugs
I think that its wise to have times in your year that you let yourself have a little hedonistic pleasure. It is a nice reward for hard work well done....your instinct is right that too much of a good thing does harm, but letting yourself enjoy your life when there are special occasions isn't the least wrong padme. Be gentle with you. *smiles*
You've lost 4 pounds since you started only a month ago! That's great! I know you'll reach your next goal, even with some birthday celebrating :-)
Look at the improvements you have made already and focus on that instead of what you didn't yet accomplish. The rest of that weight will come off! You are doing just fine!
Hugs,
