Bad day....
 

I'm sorry to complain. I don't know what's wrong with me today. It's just a bad day and I feel so down. I NEVER feel like this.

I acted out to and had a double cheeseburger from McDonalds and a grilled snack wrap. I'm still within calories and already have a nice healthy meal planned for supper, but I just feel so down.

:?::(

It's just one of those days! I feel you, even though I haven't cheated today has just been...for lack of a better word-blah. It's one of those things where tomorrow is a new and better day, right? And if you're within your calories and do well for the rest of the night, it's ok. We all take a fall every now and again, but we have to get up and dust ourselves off.

Sorry to hear you're having a bad day..and don't worry about complaining, that's what we're here for-to offer support when you need it! Never apologize for saying how you're feeling.

Days like this happen. :hug: It's okay.

It's a great thing you already have a wonderful supper planned.

It'll only ruin your day if you let it! You are still under calories, so it'll be alright. I hope you enjoyed your burger at least a bit :)

I feel ya, I've been down myself and binged.. lets see today I had two cups of Dinty Moore italian meatballs and veggie soup.. then later on I had 2 of those Ronzoni spaghetti 90sec packet things you just heat and serve.. plus since yesterday night had a whole container of Kozy Shack Rice Pudding with added Cinnamon.. talk about binging.. I prob gained another 5lbs on all that.

Tomorrow will be better. I also ate bad stuff today - small macaroni and cheese AND a huge rice krispy treat (!!!) from Noodles & Co. I've got 500 calories left for dinner, though, and that should be enough.

:hug:

Thank you so much everybody! I really felt like just giving up and not b/c of anything imparticular but just b/c I feel overwhelmed with a lot of things in my life right now. I'm so used to being "together" for so many people that sometimes it's hard for me to reach out and say "I'm not doing good". Thanks for being there girls!

I'm doing so much better. i went home did my jillian michaels. I fixed a really good soup tonight and I am within my calories.

Yay! Today must be one of those days. Its not a full mooon or anything right?? Must just be in the air. I still have no idea what i want for dinner....well its almost 7 here...darn

I used to be an "all or nothing" girl. If I messed up just once, I got so down on myself I would just quit. Kudos to you for getting back on track at dinner!

Don't worry about it. Tomorrow is another day!

Dont feel down! I just dropped my biscuit in my brew (anyone seen Peter Kay? :D) and i stuck my fingers in to grab it! I can barely type! You gotta be better off than that :D :hug: what kind of soup did you make?

It is wonderfull that you got right back on track after the slip up and still managed to be within your calories for the day. And you said your having a bad day? Well, I am sorry to hear that, and I hope tomorrow is better for you. I understand the double cheeseburger. McD's Double quarter pounder with cheese is mine. Keep up the good work.

Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato Soup
 

I just made it up. I got organic roasted red pepper and tomato soup added water, green onions, cilantro, corn, mushrooms, little grilled chicken, garlic powder, lil salt, cayenne pepper.

It was so amazing and filling too. It's 199 calories per cup so I have a cup and 1/2.

wow the red peppers would add so much flavour, i love them. Whats cilantro?

Cilantro's this very bitter herb often found in Mexican cooking. It's one of those things, you either really like it or absolutely loathe it. I'm in the latter category. Anyway, it's gotten quite popular in the mainstream of late, so you could probably find it in the fresh herbs at your grocery story.

kinda like capers in that respect? :P i mean in terms of hating it or loving it

Aw I hope you're feeling better today. You're usually so upbeat and I'm certain today is better already! :hug: I feel inspired to cook now... hmmm.

Wow, I think it´s so great that you got right back on track.. I´m the all or nothing girl so that´s one thing I really have to work!!!

It's also called the chinese parsley. It looks more like parsley.

Spoz- Thanks I so appreciate that. I've done so soul searching it's been good but bringing up the true reasons why I want to lose weight.

Chil- I've always been the all or nothing girl too. But I'm learning that life is not all or nothing b/c if it was I'd never be happy. I have to give and take and allow myself to have bad days. I love that saying "even when you fall face first, you're still moving forward." That's like the story of my life!

I never found cilantro to be bitter at all, just bright and green. It's very common in salsa, and in Chinese chicken salads, if that brings the taste to mind. Maybe that's why some people hate it - they taste bitterness that others don't taste.
