Well I have gained again. With three days way over and two days just over it isn't terribly surprising that I am up 2.8 pounds.
What is surprising is that I am allowing this to be my pattern at the moment. It has been ice cream, Thanksgiving, squares and cake. That is a pretty easy pattern to read - I am eating sugar and in large quantities. My choices are causing me to go up in weight instead of down. I do know that the time is evening when I am indulging especially the ice cream (which is now gone!). Squares and cake are indulgences when in town or at a meeting. What I need to look at is how often is an indulgence and how often tips it into a habit? I have some serious reflecting to do.
This week I registered for a zoom Buddhist class starting next week, went to a weekly yoga class, met with three different organizations that I volunteer with, met with a lady who is working on a profile of me for the Feb edtion of the ATA magazine, dealt with the insurance afermath of hitting a deer! Definitely busy! Tonight I am invited to a Ukrianian Supper and entertainment to support our local Ukrainian refugees. That will be fun! (I have planned what I will eat - 3 perogies, 1 cabbage roll and a piece of Keilbasa sausage!)

Good planning ahead. I always do better when I have a plan - that's why I make my menu plans for the whole week before it starts.

Excellent idea Debbie! I do my plan each morning but have meals made ahead and portioned to choose from.

Ukrainian supper was excellent. I stuck with the 3 perogies and had two minature cabbage rolls, no sausage but a slice of ham then very small portions of baby potatoes, yam, coleslaw however there was this amazing lemon poppyseed cake with some kind of lucsious lemon frosting. For the record I did not go back for seconds and especially did not get a second piece of cake!! This morning I am up 0.4. Back at it today!

You have a good handle on your journey. "This too shall pass". I think (I know I do) I think we all go through periods of over indulgence. It "feels" good. It's yummy. I "need" something sweet...... it's a battle every day. Never fear! You will get a handle on it. And give yourself some grace! You GOT this! And you will lose again! Stay the course!!! Love thyself!

3dkids2- you are super inspiring. Thank you for your empathy and understanding. I checked your bio and see that we have much in common. My original weight was at 321 and then I got off 150 pounds, gained 100 pounds having breast cancer (who does that??), lost 100 pounds, gained 100 pounds while my husband was dying of cancer have lost 90 pounds....! May this be the last time losing 100 pounds! I am 63, with two adult children and a Nona with two teenage grandkids who I adore and am now navigating life as a widow. After 42 years of marriage it is a new kind of existance!
