This week was a difficult week for me eating wise.  I went over my points allowance at least 2 days and on Thanksgiving I allowed myself to indulge a bit.  I weigh myself tomorrow morning and I may see my first weekly gain.

I think this is a common problem for many people around the holidays.  There are so many tempting foods that are readily available, and you often may not eat at home where you can control what is served.  This makes it more difficult to estimate points values.  You may even allow yourself a few indulgences.  For me today it was cheese and crackers, dinner rolls, and pie.

I will know tomorrow how much damage was done (occassionally I am surprised that even when I expect a gain, there is a loss – we will see).

The key to this is not to give up.  Tomorrow I will go right back to strict tracking and staying within my points allowance.  One bad week does not need to undermine the program, and in my case it will not! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!
