So you 'cheated' or ate off plan? Think of it like this: You accidently took an off ramp on the highway. Then you hit a red light or stop sign. There might even be some road construction. Either way your journey just got slowed. Now you have to travel beside the highway looking for the on ramp. You will see all the other cars speeding by merrily. You will wish that you were on that highway. But you have to keep driving. When you find the on-ramp it might be a little congested and you have to patiently wait your turn. Then when you see the opening you need to pull ahead with speed and determination and DON'T LOOK BACK at that on-ramp. AND before you know it you are traveling at full speed toward your goal. Try to get in the middle lane and not to close to that outside lane, lest you accidently take the off-ramp again! Get it?
I love it! Great imagery. Right now, I am looking for the on-ramp. You know what, I am really appreciating where people have journalled their cheats, their detours, so honestly. Because it's helping me accept that I am not the only person who takes the exit ramp miles and miles before she planned to. And these ladies went on to lose more and more pounds!!!
