Have been on a diet for about two months, been doing really well, went from drinking pretty much a bottle of wine every night to only drinking on a Friday and Saturday night. Have been measuring all food etc and going to the gym most nights. I've felt such a difference health wise and have already lost a stone. However I've fallen off the wagon since Thursday. We went out for a big family meal and I ate what I wanted and had a few glasses of wine, friday and Saturday we had a couple of bbqs/gatherings and did the same again.
I never normally have periods as I have pcos but I came on on Sunday and since then I've felt crap and bloated and really low. Tonight I've had about half a bottle of wine and some chocolate. I just feel like I've given up on everything I've worked on and I don't seem to just be able to stick at it 7 days a week. I really just keep thinking about throwing in the towel but then half of me really wants to keep going. For the first time in my life I've been exercising and not needing my inhalers so I know I'm seeing a benefit but I just feel like such a bloody failure that I keep giving in to temptation?

This is just a blip OP. Pick up when you feel better, just don't give up altogether. You've done so well!
I've done SW so understand how you feel. I remember Xmas time and I gritted my teeth and really stuck to it in the couple of weeks leading up the Xmas so I could 'forget it' for a couple of days. Don't beat yourself up about it. Good luck.

It's okay to have a blip. As you said you're enjoying all the benefits of the healthier you and this is where you're heading back to.
Time to reset... hormones hit everyone... and back to it op. Well done on your amazing progress so far.
