R2P4D47-2.0 loss

Current Weight 146.3 Daily Loss 2lbs (steak day)   Friday weight: 146.5 (still working to get down from sisters visit) Saturday weight: 147.4 (Friday night neighbor great together-lots of cc cookies) Sunday weight: 148.3 (Hersheypark junk food fest)   The summer takes the posting enthusiasm right out of me...that in combination with my sisters visit, tons of work, and getting ready for next weeks vacation makes it hard to find the motivation or the time to post.  And I think this being above my LIW for more than a week makes me really uncomfortable too...especially since I dont feel good even 3 lbs about LIW.  My clothes fit differently, my waist expands.   And I know that unless I have tremendous willpower next week, I will definitely be up above LIW so I want to get down way below this week before we leave.  With only 5 days, though and another book club tomorrow night, and being 3 lbs above it right now, Im not thinking its going to happen.    So am I ok with that?  I have it in my mind that with all the exercise Im going to be doing for the rest of my life, with the fall and winter coming and many fewer get togethers, and of course, with my committment to this new body, I should not be concerned.  But weren't excuses what got me here in the first place?    How do you balance the scales to allow fun and pleasure in without breaking your spirit or the scale?
