:( i went over my points
 

I went back to work Monday and I've had a stressful week so far personal and professional so I've been in a bubble of stress. I haven't banked any points all week and I'm usually at about 15 by now. I binged today as well, I don't know by how much I went over my points but I did write down most of it. I feel so horrible :(

It's a bump in the road. Everyone has experienced this to some degree. Stay motivated and jump back on the wagon. The best thing you can do for yourself is forgive yourself for making a mistake, and be proud that you've addressed it and move on. Tomorrow is always a new day and you're the only one that has th ultimate decision as to how it play out. You might make another mistake tomorrow, but the next day is ALWAYS a new day.

It's sometimes hard to find the motivation to pick back up (for me anyways) but I find forgiving yourself is the first step. And knowing that you're doing this huge lifestyle change for yourself. Be proud.

Remember, we all learned to walk.. And nobody didnt fall on their face at one point. But you're walking now, aren't you ?

Good luck and stay positive.

It's ok. I've been there. It's a sucky feeling but it passes! You wrote most of it down to hold yourself accountable which is great!

Remington has said a lot of great things already in her post.

Hope you get to feeling better soon!

Sorry you are having such a stressful week. The important part is not letting it get you down. It took a long road to get here and it is a long road back, full of bumps. As long as you keep traveling, that is the important part.

Sometimes I just NEED more FOOD. I eat more food. Then, I eat less the next day. You haven't messed up--worry about making your counts over time (I concentrate on averaging at my calorie count, or in your case points, over the course of a week). I have no guilt when I go over (as long as it's not the last day of the week, lol) because I know I will make it up.

Don't feel bad sweetie, we all have days like that <3 just walk over that bump and keep doing what you have been doing, which is a great job.

Thanks so much everyone!
I've been a little better, I'm just so happy it's finally the weekend and I can relax and try again. I've been an emotional wreck all week
