compliments…then backsliding…whatsgoingon?

Okay, last Thursday I was with a large group of friends and kept getting compliments on my weight loss.  (It was unexpected, as I had been waiting weeks for someone to notice then gave up; telling myself it didn’t matter if anyone noticed.) So I was floating by the time I got home. Couldn’t wipe the stupid smile off my face. Guess how I celebrated the next day? Eating all the wrong things….and not a little of it either.  Hmmm…I thought to myself, “that’s odd - why did I do that?”  I started out the next day on track but at night gave in and ate too much.  Had the same confused thoughts. Almost like I could not stop. By the week end I was eating whatever I wanted and not logging it. By Monday I got some control of myself but am back to struggling not to eat.  Here’s the question I have: why would I sabotage my success like that? Why did it occur after getting a lot of compliments? What kind of screw is loose in my brain? :)  My only concern right now is getting back on track. The scale shows I’ve not gained, but if I keep feeling and eating like I have been,.. it won’t be long……..
