ugh, weigh in day

Wish i had more time between vacation, but i guess this is life?  That is what it is all about making changes in life that we can continue with.  Some one else stated that it is not about going into starvation the days before weigh in, it is about making changes we can keep.  I was so reminded of this at my mother in laws.  through out the 13 yrs years i have known her her weight has fluctuated.  She has gone on the atkins diet to loose 50lbs in three months, but to then gain it back in 2 plus ten more.  My inlaws swear that atkins is the only diet to do.  I tried to tell them you can not DIET you have to make changes that last!  But they are stuck in their ways.  They asked how i have lost 20 lbs and i told them i exercise and eat less.  Hmmm i certain can not eat bacon and eggs every morning and not feel like my arteries are not clogging!  Any way perspective is what i am trying to remember.  Hope you all have a great weigh in day!
