My boyfriend just left for new job training, he will be gone til Friday. I came home from work this evening with my dinner already planned so I could stay in my calorie limit. Since I knew that I would be alone for the next few nights I decided to have a glass of wine. NOW, I just can't seem to stop eating. I had a fat-free pudding with some cinnamon rice cakes for dessert, but that doesn't seem to be enough! aaaaaah! Trader joes cat cookies are so yummy!

Please please pleaaaaase hope that I won't be like this every night. I need to pour this bottle of wine down the drain.

Good luck to you. Get the crap out of your house!

I have exactly the same problem! I am so strict with myself usually but as soon as I have that glass of wine I just want to eat. I've decided I'm just going to have to ban booze until I've got this under control.

If you find yourself unable to pour that bottle down the sink (as would be the case if it was my bottle of wine!) I would suggest you enjoy it but make a resolve not to buy any more! Alcohol is a diet killer!

I stopped drinking all summer so I could get into the groove of weight loss because every time I drink I binge OUT OF CONTROL, and I knew this was the only way. sobriety is fun, I promise...so is losing weight and staying in control.

Put down the food and get out of the house -- go take a walk or something, just get away from the wine and the food.

And I would get rid of that wine too, but I wouldn't throw it away. Maybe you can give the bottle to someone?

It's probably a lot like having to stop drinking to stop smoking, if you associate the two together then you have to quit, but in all likelyhood it won't have to be a permanent change.

Thanks ladies, it was nice waking up to responses this morning. Usually the morning after a binge I feel absolutely horrible and am in that "why even bother working out or continue eating healthy" state of mind. But not today! I woke up, had my usual yogurt and apple for breakfast and cleaned out my kitchen!
I can't feel toooooo guilty because I pretty much just stuffed my face with mini rice cakes, low fat trader joe cat cookies and bettern butter peanut butter. But I know I definitely ate past moderation and all the calories add up fast. So, I fell off the wagon but I'm already back on board!

I'll be strong and in control today, tomorrow, and the rest of the week. blah blah blah.

Thanks again! =]
