I have been slipping... I hadn't been going to Jumpstart Medicine since my last weigh in. I rationalized this for a lot of reasons, but the bottom line is that I let down my guard and allowed myself to slip into some old habits. Worse I maintained this blog as if it wasn't happening, I didn't tell me readers, and I continued the slide...
I have a ton of excuses... None of them matter... Dr. Sean Bourke at Jumpstart not only was understanding but incredibly encouraging. I highly recommend them.. In fact, I have a special offer for anyone in wanting to try Jumpstart in Redwood City or Mountain View: $25 off your first visit (just print it and bring it to your appointment).
I am back on the wagon, heading down the ladder...
So how bad did it get? I gained 17.4 pounds in the past 56 days... Considering what I had lost to that point I am still in good shape (yet another excuse), but I am personally appalled and personally disgusted with myself. I thought I was changing my habits only to have them slip back in on my first business trip while dieting.
So enough self flagellating. Reset. Here we go down the ladder. I do have a question though? How many of you have had a similar experience and how did you over come it? Mr Low Body Fat, Andrew, Anyone else?

I can’t say I’ve been there, but I wonder if the concept of a cheat week might be helpful every 5 or 6 weeks. I’m not suggesting that you go crazy on that week, but just that you allow yourself foods that you haven’t during the diet.
If your body has gotten used to the diet and your mental fortitude for staying on the diet is lacking, it might be the trick.
Looking at it another way, you are starting off 50 pounds better than before. You are that much further along.
No sense getting down on yourself. These things happen. But, time to man up, chart the error, and start up renewed.
I will say that you made a mistake in not charting more frequently. In part it helps keep you honest with yourself. And in part it helps keep your readers/supporters nearby to help you with the occasional backslide.
Remember, 7 steps forward and 2 steps back is still moving forward. So, keep up the good work!
It wasn’t that I missed the charting… I literally skipped the weigh ins so I had nothing to chart.
but the concept is the same… I need the weekly checkups. and I need the accountability…
And I very much appreciate the encouragement from my readers and support group along the way…
