i was doing so well and all of a sudden without thinking i woke up from an afternoon nap and before i could even remember it i downed 2 glasses of coke ( not diet ) 3 slices of pizza half a bag of doritos a cookie and 3 breadstix ( leftover from domionoes that we bought last night ) i was so close to getting below 220 .... in one hour i did a week of damage i cant figure out for the life of me how this happened i didnt get into an argument with anyone i wasnt hungry i just dont know....

it's okay, it happens! the important thing is to get back on the horse! and do some damage control!
losing weight takes time.

and you've already lost 38lbs! that's really great!! i'm sure you havent done a week of a damage. it doesnt sound like that much anyways.

think of it as spiking your calories. so your body revs up its metabolism and then get back into the saddle again!

good luck!

you can do this! don't beat yourself up --keep looking forward. you have come so far! things will work out in the end you just have to make sure you make tomorrow a good day and keep moving. you tripped but you didn't fall as one 3fc poster said on here before. we're here for support so keep posting

i feel better thanks guys well ramadaan starts today so i dont think binging will be to much of a problem seeing as how we are only supposed to consume two sparse rations a day ( one b4 sunrise ) and another one (after sunset ) so i guess the binge was kind of my last horah lolz ....

although i will tell you im actually not worried about how i will last with out food ( i emotional/boredom eat for the most part , i dont think ive ever had a problem with actually being hungry ) but im very worried about how i will last a 15 hr day with out water .... im already scared lolz wish me luck ladies

Ramadan Mubarak !
I created a little thread for support during ramadan, if you wanna join us there

i know what you mean, water is going to be a tough one, i'm 7 and half hours into my first fast, and i am feeling it. but trying not to think about water.

you will get through inshallah (god willing). during the day you shouldn't worry too much about. it's when you break your fast. you gotta be extra careful. because your body will go crazy once you take that first bit of food. i know i go crazy when i break my fast. i become like a vaccum.lol!

but for during the day just try and keep your self busy with listening to lectures reading some Quran or books. maybe during this month you'll break out of your boredom/emotional eating habits because you are not eating during the day.

Hugs and prayers for Ramadan.

echo thank you for sharing ... i had no idea there was a thread like that .... wonderful thank you so much ... !

helwa588 rofl @ being like a vacume ... thats what im concerned about too ... lets see how good myself control is when fast breaks tonight , where breaking fast at my aunts house so im hoping that alone will be a distraction from overeating ... not being in the comfort of my own home ... i really dont like eating elsewhere, i feel like im being watched ....

Rosinante thank you :hugs:

ramadaan muhbarak all !! :hugs:

Thank you !!

LOL! exactly, haha i am like that too. gonna try to power it down. and eat s-l-o-w-l-y
i actually have a small clock that i put infront of me, to remind me to eat slowly and see how long i take eating.

Awww You're welcome! it is my pleasure

Okay, I don't know what the **** is going on but waking up from naps always spells castrophe for me. I am not sure what it is. The only other time is when I am drinking. Does anyone know why waking from a nap sparks this need to binge? Fortunately, I don't typically take naps.

What helps me is to imagine what you would say to me if I did what you did. You would tell me not to feel guilty, to learn from it, that I will be ok. Love yourself.
As Echo says, getting back on the horse is the important thing. I heard a story about 2 Olympian skiers who both fell on the slope. The one who won was the one who got up the fastest.

Hugs

It happens. Just get back on track. Sometimes the weeks where I make those kinds of mistakes are the weeks I lose the most because I work so hard to make up for it!

Sometimes I think it might just be habit. There are times that I've found myself binging on Sat or Sun (or both) without even thinking about what I'm doing other than this is the way I've been eating for the last 2 years, so I'm "used to" gorging on junk food the whole weekend. I'm trying to break that pattern now.
