Today is not a weigh in day, but there are some things I need to talk about.
First of all, it's not going to work out having a free day. While I didn't gain any weight after that free day (Saturday), I didn't feel good Sunday. I felt like I wasted a whole day eating and not losing. If I had followed my WW plan on Saturday, I could have dropped a pound or two instead of staying the same.
NO MORE FREE DAYS!
Secondly, I think having that free day and not gaining anything, put the idea in my head that any other day I didn't feel like following plan, I could eat whatever I wanted and not gain anything.
BIG MISTAKE!
Yesterday I was really stressed out. I forgot to eat most of the day, so when dinnertime rolled around, I was starving. I decided that pizza was the only thing that would make me happy and since I ate whatever I wanted on Saturday and didn't gain anything, I could have pizza tonight and start again tomorrow. So I ordered two large pizza's (buy one get one free) and proceeded to eat half a pizza.
This morning, the scale didn't like me. It didn't bother reminding me that I had lost 2 lbs over Sunday and Monday. It only showed me that I failed. I weighed 230 lbs this morning. So, not only did I gain back the 2 lbs I had just lost, but I weighed more than I did at my meeting on Saturday. Now I'm going to have to be extra careful about what goes in my mouth today, tomorrow and Friday, so that I can show a loss on Saturday.
My husband Jeff came home from work last night pretty late, after the pizza eating was over. He was sitting on the couch holding Baby Bo, looked down at him and said, "I guess Mommy doesn't want to keep that trophy for another week". That hit hard. He was right. Here I was sabotaging my whole week because I wanted pizza. Lesson learned! I may not bring that trophy home again this Saturday, but it will be here again.

I totally agree with you on the free day thing. Good for you! It's so hard to stay OP all the time, but we CAN do this as a lifestyle.
Yes we CAN. But it's oh so hard :(
