I don't know that the cold meds threw you off. Was more likely the fact that you were sick! It is hard to feel the courage to stick to your diet when you are not feeling 100%.
I don't pay to go to meetings and I don't buy specialty brand foods much. There are so many healthy choices out there, you don't need to pay premium prices for a "diet" brand! And if you have all the books and know how to follow the diet, you don't need to keep going to meetings unless you really need the motivation to stay accountable at the weigh-ins. Do you have a friend you could use as your overseer who you could weigh-in each week with?
You are allowed extra POINTS each week (I hear it's 35 on the new plan!) so go ahead and allow yourself a reward day. Just don't go helter skelter and forget to count your POINTS. Even though 35 may seem like a lot, you could still go over if you chose a few decadent treats too many. And that way you will know it was "allowed" and not have to feel guilty about it! If your weight loss slows down signicantly you can try to cut back a little on your reward day so you know how much you can have and still lose the weight you want.
By my standards you are slim already so be proud of where you are. Losing the weight in your mind is always harder than anywhere else! You can do it!
