Sandy,
         Some times it fills easy to quit. Its not! 11 pounds in 7 weeks is more than a pound a week. If you went a whole year that would be 78 pounds! When you have better weeks that's a lot more!
            I used to go 7 weeks and gain weight! That's hard and it made me fill like crap. You are doing fine don't stop. Just consider it a slip get back up and lets go you can do it! Think about your health and your goals and you can do it! Heck, just don't give up!

Sandy....I want you to get up in the morning and make yourself a big protein breakfast....steak and eggs or sausage and a cheese omelet...big protein whatever you have, get good and full.. Then I want you to remove EVERY thing from your house that you know is not allowed. Throw it away, give it away, take it back...I  don't care..just get rid of it. This is no different than an alcoholic dumping the booze down the sink and starting again. The truth is the only one who can help you get up is yourself....don't let us down  >:(

Thank you!
I walked away from the kitchen tonight after having a salad and
I took a long hot bubble bath to "regroup" and think about all of this...
I feel so emotional about it.
I was so proud and didnt even have cravings for the past 7 weeks, now my daily stomach aches are back and I feel lethargic-just in a few days! We had company this weekend and with them came, wine, breads, cheeses...

OK, I am going to go to bed now and read your book ...again!
I will wake up to a new day.  I KNOW this is up to ME!
Thanks for your support!
Sandy  :-[

Sandy please dont give up...You can do this...Any amount of weight lost is better then a gain...I have lost and gained 100's of lbs in so many years but with this Change of Lifestyle..(no longer dieting) all that madness has come to an end...Stay true to you!..Just knowing how your body reacted to this slip and how it made you feel will give you more willpower to get back on your feet and march ahead...I just know it!!...Like Doug suggested get rid of the bad and or diet food and rejoice to being back on track to a wonderful, healthy way of eating...
We're with ya Gurl!

Sandy, Hang in there!  Every time you want to put something in your mouth -- pray to JESUS (the most powerful name in the world!!!) to deliver you from it!  Food is fuel for our body.  Don't abuse your body with the food because food can be our enemy!!!  The FTS Family is here to support you and encourage you to be true to yourself and love yourself!  Each pound lost is a major victory!  We want you to enjoy life and be full of love, joy, peace, fun and laughter!  Take one day at a time!  I'm praying for you!  Have a great day on the FTS program!

THANKS TO BEEBS FOR THE TURKEY LINES!  I'm still giggling !!!   :D

I am having a GREAT FTS day!
I took Doug's advice and got up a little earlier than I normally do...
I got a fresh green pepper from my garden, an onion and I browned them in Pam and a little butter.
Added 2 whipped eggs and grated fresh cheese over the top.  It was Divine!!

I was full until about 2pm when I had an all beef dog (no bun) while shopping at Sams Club and
a few almonds for a snack. I am now planning my dinner.

Thanks to ALL of you for the nice comments!  One of the things I quit doing too was to log on everyday and read the Forum...I am back at it today!
I really appreciate the support!
Thank you!
Sandy

Sandy, I am only new to this, but if all this love and encouragement found in the forum doesn't give you the strength to get back up on that horse again, I'm not sure what will! 
I am amazed on a daily basis how wonderful the people in the forum are, and that's because they KNOW exactly how we feel.  Its just so great to have that on-to-one that you do not have with any other "program" I have ever encountered.
I am just starting out, and yep, there are times where I'm struggling to work out what's what, but I'm sticking at it.

You can do it Sandy, we are here to encourage you all the way and God knows we all need encouragement.

Thank you!

I feel like Im going through withdrawals...my tummy hurts  :-[

I just have to be prepared with snacks etc!  I know what to do...
I do not know what triggered me to go off program...

Well Im back on and will stick with it!  I DO appreciate all the kind words and support!
I think I will go to the grocery store and look for an 11 lb turkey and carry in all around the
store, my 5 girls will LOVE it  :D

Ok, I know I'm a little slow at times, but NOW I get the idea of carrying the turkey around the grocery store.  Duh.

Bags of oranges works too!

Hey, Sandy, Linda, Beebs and the whole FTS Family! 

Sandy, I am soooooooo happy for you that you are back on the program.  Planning and being prepared when temptations come along will get you through "the moment". 

I will neveer look at a turkey the same way - thanks again Beebs for the "giggles".  Everyone have a great day!

We actually cooked a turkey breast in the crockpot this past weekend and it was delicioius -- on low for about 8 hours -- very moist and great -- even the leftovers were moist -- only sprinkled some seasoning on it similar to Mrs. Dash.
