A brilliant metaphor TTM. I've thought about it a lot and used it in my next post.

Spider, if I was "perfect" with regard to both eating and exercize, I'd look like the photo of me at 127 lb. (only a few years older). I'd like that.

Sir Squishy, I think you're right about regular blogging. I about boring and digusting others with the tedium of my failures. My sometimes tenous confidence that I'll eventually succeed at this very hard thing keeps me going.

Kim, guilt is a drag down. Your comment last time was an excellent nudge to me. This is a lifetime thing with a mix or success and failure. We help each other get more of the first and less of the second.

Trigger foods got me on Friday with my son's birthday, which had a knock on effect over the weekend.

I now feel extra guilty after you quoted me in your post as a positive example :(

I also binge like yourself. I still struggle with it, but I am taking steps towards learning to identify the triggers.

I've noticed that the bloggers that tend to post on a regular basis (good or bad) tend to hang in there better.

I'm guilty of defeatism sometimes and I become absent from my blog.

Your making progress....hang in there and I have no doubt that you will meet your goals.

What would life be if you were perfect?

It easy to drive a car on a clear day, but a pain to drive it on a ice cover road. Enviroment makes control easier or harder. Being aware of how you react in a given enviroment is important. It is good that you are already thinking about your trip. Your lucky that your going to see health conscious people, most Americans are barely conscious to what they eat. Depending on what type of resturant you go to, you may be able to pre-plan what to eat. Here in middle American eating out at a "nice" local place means somehting like Applebee's (which does have a great Weight Watcher's endorsed menu section). But you hit me as classier, and while you may not go out to a place with a WW selection - I bet it possible to have something nice and healthy with pre-planning.

Me, you know what I would do, I would call the meal out a cheat day and order a steak and baked potato. But you got to do what works best for you.
