Can you say crash and burn? On Saturday, when I posted that I was struggling with too much time on my hands...it didn't go well. It had been Steve’s birthday and he had gotten a HUGE 2 lb bag of candy. Toffee, chocolate pecans. Simply sinful. At some point, I had 1, then 2, then 6. I was even sneaking them after he got home. And of course it snowballed. Crap. Then I spent the next 3 days phasing between acting like I was on plan and simply not being on plan. It took me until yesterday to get back on plan. Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday - shot! But I have managed to pull out of it, so that's the good news. Yesterdays calories were 1792, so I'd call that a win!!
It just goes to show that I am not a moderation person. I honestly believe that if I had never had that 1st piece of candy, this would not have happened.
Many weeks ago, I had some blood work done and my cholesterol came back high. But, it wasn't any higher than it had always been. But my doc wanted to put me on Zocor. I didn't want that. I was afraid that if I went on the meds, I wouldn't be motivated to get healthy. It would be another crutch. So I convinced him to let me try fixing this with diet and exercise for 3 months to see what I could do on my own. And although I am trying, I am inconsistent and I am sure I am not making a very big dent in my numbers. And at my last Gyno appt, she talked to me about why it was so important to get on the meds and fix the problem now. Made me wish I had gotten on the meds a long time ago. So I called the my doc, got a script for meds and took my first Zocor last night. Now I am on a low dose Blood Pressure med and a cholesterol med. bummer.
Today my lunch is packed and I am on plan. Tonight we are celebrating Steve's birthday with House Of Kobe, but at least there won't be anything sweet!

There will be bumps, scrapes, and sometimes, crashes in life. The important part is that you saw it for what it was and got back on track. Four days is not as bad as four months. As for the meds, think of it as helping for a while until you don't need them anymore. When you are healthy, you won't need the assistance. Good job getting "back on the stick."
Before you'd let that derail you for a lot longer than four days so I call that a success. Sandi, recently I discovered that I just cannot do sugar in moderation. When I think about not eating sugar again, it gets me a little panicky, but then I think about what happens when I do eat sugar, I know that there is this crazy person who can't stop at one piece of anything sugary. I don't like that crazy person so it's best for me not to go there at all. It's all a journey, and you learn stuff along the way.

I am exactly the same as Sheila. I know my trigger foods and know that it is better not even to have 1 of any of them. I haven't had a Fudgee-O cookie in years! I eye them practically every time I look down the cookie aisle but I know I could finish off a bag in one day. I know what you mean about the meds. In a way it feels like giving up but too I know that once the meds kick in you might feel better. The BP meds might perk you up a bit, I heard that from another woman who was also having BP probs. So look at it as a positive thing. There may be a day when you can toss them away but for now look at them as any other tool in managing your health!
