So I started being healthy again on Monday, and I was doing really well until today. Breakfast was fine, I just had a waffle, but for lunch I had a grilled sandwhich. Again, not too bad. But for the football games some people came over so of course my mom makes a mexican pizza and a whole bunch of delicious dip (oh yeah and CHEESECAKE)!! I had so much of it, I don't even think I had any fruits or vegetables today. Not only do I feel like crap physically, I feel so guilty.

I always do really well and then I "lose it" by saying "I'll start being good again tomorrow" but tomorrow never comes!!!! So I am posting here to say that I only had a momentary lapse in judgement, and that my hard work of eating right and exercising the other days of the week hasn't all gone away just because I ate bad one day. Tomorrow I will eat well again and exercise.

(sorry if this post is random, but I figure if I tell someone else about it I will actually do it, I DO NOT want this to be like the other times!!! this time has to be different)

Don't let it throw you off honey.
Everyone has bad days. Be extra good tomorrow, and there's no guilt factor involved!!!

Today is done. There is nothing you can do to change what you did. It's ok - everyone has days like that, **** even weeks like that. You just gotta pick yourself up by your boot straps & start over tomorrow. I literally sometimes have to take it one meal at a time or even one hour at a time just to get me through the day OP. Weight loss sucks, but don't let one bad day trip you up. We're all here to support you!

i had burger king and rotel cheese dip today. thats all i've eaten.. bad food. I feel bad about it but at the same time there's nothing I can do except for back away from the cheese filled crock pot. tomorrow I'm going to take my dog and run a couple miles, we both need it.

don't beat yourself up about it, you know you shouldn't eat those things and you've identified that and thats good, now you can move forward and when you go to eat something like that again you'll remember this feeling and hopefuly make a good choice!

I like how you say "tomorrow never comes!" That was my slogan for years. I fell victim to that thinking... that is the root of my yo-yo dieting. It is so frustrating to fall off the wagon.. but the worst part of it is trying to get back on. It is so easy to just eat crappy again the next day. But you can do it! We need to change the way we think about weight loss! One bad day is just that.. one bad day! Everything in life has ups and downs, and so does dieting and weight loss. If you have a bad day, you dont give up the next day and say, I am not getting out of bed today. We are here for you and are rooting for you!

Oh girl we've all been there. I was bad last night AND tonight..but tonight by default. Last night was 2 slices of onion and peppers pizza with a can of cream soda (which I totally regret...not only did I feel blah, but eating that junk as late as I did gave me some CRAAAAZY nightmares!)...and tonight...man, I was invited for dinner at my boyfriend's parents, and they had a fish fry! So I had a bit of fried fish, deviled eggs, mac n cheese...I couldn't be rude and NOT eat it!

But be strong...tomorrow DOES come, and it starts with today!! Most of us are in the same boat...just keep listening to the little nagging voice that tells you not to eat it! Even though it's fun to ignore every once in a while...hehe

So a new day has come, hopefully this one will be better....Wishing you all the best!!

Thanks for your support ladies!! You guys really made me feel happier last night, and motivated me to go jogging this morning! I weighed myself today and I weighed 129.5!! Woo hoo back in the 120's. I know if I keep coming here I will continue to be successful because you guys are so supportive and smart!! Yesterday is behind me, and today is going to be better!

Yea, I keep saying at around midnight that I'll start exercising real good tomorrow... Then I don't.

Oh, and don't take into temptation. I got offered (in the last 2 days) a box of pizza from my neighbor, pizza from my friend, and I a, baking a cake at sometime today for a friend of mine who can't bake to save his life and usually I'd take half of it... Not this time. I keep having to remind people that I'm not eating like that anymore.

If I might offer some advice?

You don't say what was on the grilled sandwich, but if that's all you had, I'm not surprised that you pigged out on the next available food that was available. Your breakfast is nothing but a serving of carbs (and more carbs if you put syrup on your waffle). And lunch ... again, I don't know what was on the sandwich, but unless there was meat and veggies, then it's just more carbs and fat.

I'm certainly not trying to beat you up at all!! I hope you know that. I hope I can help you see that what you ate in the morning was not great and helped lead you to the "bad" choice you made in the afternoon.

If you eat healthy, well rounded meals - breakfast that includes protein and fruit or veg, a lunch that includes protein and veg, and healthy snacks between, you'll be in a much better place to resist those afternoon surprises.

So don't beat yourself up over a mistake. We all make them. But look at what you've done so far and see how you can do it differently to try to avoid the same mistake again!!
