lost control today :(

Someone's words on this forum: It's the overall trend that matters, a few cheats won't hurt!

The first part of the sentence was exact the second one isn't..and I can't give the credit to anyone since I can't remember who said it LOL.. but it's GREAT advice and if I was TTC on the diet, I would heed those words! I am glad you indulged today. Don't be so hard on yourself Navy!

I indulged at every special event while in the LE diet. You have to continue to live your life and kids'' birthdays only come once a year. Really, a cupcake or two isn't that bad a cheat. If you managed to stay within your daily totals then I wouldn't even consider it a cheat at all. I regularly ate cookies, ice cream and cake while on the diet. Besides - you said your attempt isn't until the end of Sept? That's AGES away - many people would just be starting the diet now anyway!

Thank you Mocha that made me feel better! I know september seems ages away but I wanted to go into this knowing I did 100% just in case I don't get my girl!

Today is my oldest's Birthday and we made cupcakes. I just lost it with them I ate the batter, a cupcake, and I don't even know how much for the whipped cream cheese frosting. I don't know what got into me.. I am so upset with myself. I feel like I am starting to cheat a little more here and there and It's going to ruin everything I have been doing the pas couple of months. I keep telling myself I will get back on track. I need some motivation!

This was a sugar binge Typical girl mum behavior lol, I conceived 3 girls in a row doing things like that daily. We used to pick up the cakes from our local bakey on a saturday which hadnt sold and my weekends were spent bingeing on THIS!!! Not a nutrient in site A little empty sugar binge won't to do you no harm xx

this picture is killing me! Can't wait till I indulge again in those lovely doughnuts

Your cheat was empty calories and low in protein. I wouldn't worry about it. My two sister in laws eat a ton of sweets and sugar and they have all girls. I ate some sweets while swaying and am having a girl.

[Navywife620]

I guess I was being a little too hard on myself and the cupcakes were sugar free, so maybe that helped a bit too! I obviously can't do this all the time but I feel much better now. I was actually thinking about maybe pushing my sway back one more month because of it!

[Navywife620]

Well I just stepped on the scale scared to see what it read and I am actually down 2 pounds... Crazy!

I know I'm a little late to the party (no pun intended), but one cheat day isn't going to completely derail your sway. There is a lot of rhyming going on in that sentence. Anyway, famous last words of dieters everywhere are true: Tomorrow is a new day. Enjoy the 2 lb weight loss and get back on track.

Yay!!! Great navywife, you still lost 2 pounds even with the cupcakes!!
