Jornal de AmberLaine, 10 out 15

Today was my first weigh in and cheat day! I am pleased that I have lost almost 7 pounds in five days. I feel that my cheat day went rather well. I began with a plan breakfast of black beans and eggs with peppers and onions. For lunch I shared part of a super thin crispy crust pizza with my husband. I also had a few calamari rings and two slices of Italian sausage and green pepper. I also got my chocolate fix with a couple bites of chocolate cake. Five of us went to lunch and shared the dessert. I passed on the cheesecake. I ate the last bit of my pizza for dinner. I really feel like the delay don't deny worked for me. I found myself totally satisfied with what I ate and I don't feel like I over ate in the slightest. I looking forward to returning to the plan tomorrow morning.

I know that yesterday many people disagreed with the fact that I was doing a cheat day. I admit that I took some of these comments very personally and was hurt by some. I even considered stopping FS (though only for a moment). The fact of the matter is, I am on a specific plan - Slow Carb Diet. I am adhering to that plan to the very best of my ability. Though people disagreed with my desicion to "cheat," it is part of the plan and I did it. I appreciate everyone's tips, but I am not going to change my plan after the first week on a whim, or on the advice of a random person, however well intentioned.

As to comments about my personal experiences, and the fact that I have been on here for a couple of years and have gained weight, it should be taken into account that I had a baby this year and gained significantly. It's part of the reason I am here. I do not respond well to harsh criticism, especially from a stranger that I have had no interactions with before. I primarily use FS as a way to monitor my intake. I comment, support, and request buddies that inspire me or I feel are kindred. I write about my feelings and thoughts on this site because I am uncomfortable doing so on other forms of social media. What better place than FS?

Again I am very appreciative of everyone's concern and advice. I really do welcome all comments. I apologize for getting defensive. I know part of support is letting a person know when they are going the wrong way, I just haven't experienced that on this site before.
I want to offer special thanks to everyone who truly cares about me and my progress. I hope to be a support for you as well!

(The first time I posted this it all got erased somehow. I fear this rewrite from memory lacks the eloquence and flow of my original entry. Apologies.)
