Time to get back on the program!!!
It's hard to start a healthy lifestyle from scratch, Robin! Don't give up now! Just because you've had a rough few days doesn't mean that you're not going to be able to do it. We all have days that we more hungry than others. We all have days that we feel like crap and want to eat things that are bad for us. That's just life. The main thing is that you KNOW what is good for you and you stick with it . . . you know what is causing your set backs and you can avoid them as best you can . . . just another hurdle to cross. You're doing great hon!!! I mean, come on! 9 pounds!!! That is fantastic!

And trust me, you can't put on 9 pounds in 1 day!!! It's probably not as bad as you think. Your weight will flucuate, that's normal. I might even suggest that you NOT weigh yourself every day.

When I was loosing weight, I would weigh myself every Sunday morning - so I would get an accurate weight (same time of the day, same day of the week) . . . and if you weigh yourself every day, you'll drive yourself crazy - because it'll just go up and down and up and down.

The best way to tell that you're loosing weight - your clothes! They'll start getting looser!!! That's the best feeling in the world!!!

Hang in there, Robin!
