Just remember to not beat yourself up to much and to get "back in the saddle". Start where you are and do what you can right NOW...you'll get there. Sometimes we need a good swift kick in the butt to get us going in the right direction!! Hang in there and you'll get there!! <br><br>Thanks for keepin' it real!!

slip ups happen (and sometimes we don't even feel bad for them).

hopefully your feeling bad has to do with your body being use to getting good nutrients and exercise. i would hate to think that your feeling like crap is because you're beating yourself up.

since this challenge is almost over you are just a week closer to a completely fresh slate? doesn't that feel wonderful? you get to erase the mistakes of this challenge and start over with the promise of being more fateful. :)

you can do it! that's why you're (one of) our fearless leaders!

Some weight loss buddy, I am, eh? I do know how you feel though. I know I gained this weekend. I know I did. But you're right, all we can do is start again tomorrow. And we will. <br><br>I had an excellent support system before January. I give my friends credit for helping me get as far as I have, but you know something? Now? I have the BEST support system in the world. Because I have you. (and our other Sisters!) Our weight loss journeys are so close to one another that I'm quite certain that you know what I'm thinking. And that helps to keep me going. You are just fabulous and don't you ever forget it. Sometimes when life happens, we have to concentrate on life, then we start over. Don't you worry, we're going to get there. And we're going to get there together. I promise.<br><br>Love you lots! :o) Well, I can't say anything that hasn't already been said.
