lol twilight....wow...."worse" is an understatement the way you put it....WOW!!!

thanks you guys, you are all super sweet for talking me off my ledge!

and yes, twilight you are right about it could have been much worse! I was thinking you were going to say something well you could have actually EATEN something at Del Taco instead of going home but yeah your worse theory takes the cake!

I just feel like the past three days has been a waste (except for chatting with you guys ) I restricted myself so much for what? nada. oh well.

sally, good point about the already low cals. hmmmn.


well now I don't know what to do.

Yes I totally agree with the breaks in between dieting. We are confusing our bodies that way and that will speed up our metabolism our bodies are in a rut of dieting and weight loss will get slower and slower. I truely believe my success with weight loss has been having breaks in between every diet I do especially because we are on low calorie quick weight loss diets.

I have completed 7 strict weeks of dieting in all in the last 20 weeks and have lost 31 lbs in all but if you average out the weeks it actually works out at roughly 1.5 lbs a week I have lost which is actually what is recommended. I also think this gives me a greater chance of actually keeping the weight off when I eventually get to target. I think what I am trying to say is be a little more patient if you are in it for the long haul!

GOSH SLAP ME I'VE WRITTEN A SENSIBLE POST LOL!

sinead and sally,

you guys both make a lot of sense. I think the non dieting emotional crap that went on yesterday just made me in an all around pissy mood. that coupled with the lack of weight loss on the 3dd had me at my wit's end. I'm starting up my yoga practice again and hopefully my ass will go back to the gym as well.  with healthy eating maybe just maybe my stupid freaking pants will fit me again?

I've backed away from the ledge. Thanks for dealing with me and my drama queen moment:blush:

Omgirlie,

Even though you've already been talked off the ledge, I just want to get my 2 cents in!

I've been dieting since the end of February, I was doing my own thing until I started csd April 30th and then did the 3dd right after.  Anyways, there have been a few times along the way when I hit a rut and either didn't lose or lost less than a pound (so basically, I didn't lose because what is a half pound anyways??)  So I would give myself a week off.  Yes a whole week and I tried to do it without guilt.  And usually I'd either stay where I was or gain a pound or two.  Then when I started back up again I would lose like five or six pounds in that week.  And that was just healthy eating, not any kind of structured plan. 

So don't worry about an off week.  I truly believe sometimes we need that both for our metabolism and for our sanity!

Don't give up!

There are a couple of you asking about the 3dd, so I bumped it up for you!   Juck look on the very first posting by Whittnie116 and there are 2 versions of it, just click on #1 or #2 and that should answer your questions.  It is also posted elsewhere, I believe if you look back on the thread titled  "MAY CSD CHALLENHGE  there are several different diets posted in the middle somewhere.  Hope this helps!  I'm sorry I am a bit of a computer novice and not too sure about pasting and stuff but this should help.
