Just when I think I've got it figured out, I have a weekend where I eat and drink too much. We had company and that of course meant lots of good food cooked by my personal chef (hub) and lots of wine. I really enjoyed myself, but I'm paying the price now. Size 12 uniform pants came out of the back of the closet again. Boo! Maybe I should have just worn the 10's anyway to punish myself. (But that's not a good attitude, is it?)
We're having more company starting this Thursday, and all the way through July 12. I'm taking off most of next week, for the 4th of July holiday (lots of parties around our neighborhood), and hub's b-day is on the 7th. Hmmm, wonder if I still have any size 14's anywhere???? Well, I don't honestly think it will get to that, but I do need to be careful.
Still, I'm going to try to enjoy myself, not get too crazy one way or the other. I'll try to keep the overeating to a minimum, and when I do eat too much, I'll try to not react by starving or obsessing or beating up on myself. I don't have another session scheduled with Dr D until mid July, but she said I could give her a call if I felt the need. Not sure I will but it helps to know she's there.
Okay, so maybe you are up a little bit. What is maintenance anyway? Do you expect to stay the very same weight every day? Is it okay to bump up a couple of pounds and then return to the starting weight within a week? Ten days?

I think that's the perfect attitude. And you'll return to your regularly-scheduled programming, and any extra that you picked up with drop off. I think that's how the "normies" out there live. Have a great holiday!
