mini-binge

Posted by: billie In: blogging helps

Sorry about the crazy long post yesterday. I guess i just needed to get that stuff off my chest.

I was excited to see i’d lost another 2 pounds this morning, so i can’t figure out why i would overeat today. It’s one of those self-sabotaging things i do.

After i took my daughter to her dental checkup, we decided to get some dinner together. She had no cavities so i let her pick where we would eat. She wanted pizza hut. I know pizza is one of my trigger foods so i tried to talk her into applebee’s so i could eat a lot for less calories from the weight watchers menu. She was insistant and i did tell her she could pick. I’m so proud of her, she hasn’t had a cavity for years.

I decided that i would get a small thin crust and only eat half of it. That would have been within my calorie allowance. Instead it was like i couldn’t help myself, i had to eat one more piece. Then i was like, what the hell and i ate half of a cheesy breadstick, it was so good i couldn’t resist eating the other half. Carb cravings always do me in, i just ate 3 dark chocolate truffles too. And now i am so tired, i think i must be having a carb crash. It’s only 7:30 and i’m thinking about heading on to bed.

Calorie counting:  Slimfast shake (190), 4 cups coffee (20) with splenda & cream (80), ham & harvati sandwich (50+90+70), 4 small slices of thin crust pizza with black olives, mushrooms & tomatoes (est. 540) and 1 cheesy breadstick (200), 3 dark chocolate truffles (220).   all that equals 1460 calories

Okay, so i didn’t go over my day’s budget, but i did eat 740 calories all in one sitting, followed by another 220 calories with an hour or so.

I think i am skipping my workout, putting on some laundry and going to bed.

Today’s totals: 1460 calories & NO exercise.

Aw, that’s definitely my downfall too - carbs. Don’t let it bother you. Today is a new day and you will be back on track! :D
