i just need to vent
 

Once again, i ate too much tonight. sigh


It's so frustrating. i don't understand why i can't say no. Eat a good, healthy size meal and then quit? i was going to take tomorrow off from the gym but now i can't.


i seriously don't understand this hold that food has on me?

I'm right there with you. I passed up dougnuts in the morning, then had a milkshake at lunch and snacks in the afternoon so I totally sabotaged myself. It's so depressing. It's an addiction; no way around that fact.

But, we have to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and start again beginning NOW. Let's make the rest of today and tomorrow better. Hang in there! :hug:

You have to eat--so food is so tempting to overdo. I find that eating a high protein diet curbs the hungries. Try adding a little more protein and see if it helps. AND please be gentle with yourself.

i will definitely work on being more gentle, i am soooooooo hard on myself.

Well, the good news is it happens to us all. An old weight watchers teacher told me "Out of all 28 meals you fat during the week, one meal you mess up on won't make you gain all the weight back" so just be on plan for next meal!

Freudian slip or a typo? Just kidding. Just thought that was funny. Good point you made, though. ;)

I really, really screwed up today, and yesterday. I haven't even told anyone, I'm just so embarrassed and disappointed in myself. I feel like crying. well, in fact I did cry a little about it.

You are not alone....

I am forever amazed at how it continues to be an ongoing issue for me as well. Most days are a CONSTANT battle, it is HARDLY ever about being hungry for me.
I have so many tools and so much information throughout all these years and sometimes it's a toss up for me if I even remember to use them let alone CHOOSE to use them. Anyhow, hope I'm not to negative but that is my truth for today. On the positive side, I know I CANNOT give up. For the sake of myself and family, I want to be healthy and relatively sane. lol

Just a thought for those who are relly struggling with their "slips". If you are really regimenting yourself and there's no wiggle room in your meals, then it's so hard to stay on track. You have to give yourself some leeway and maybe plan in some things you like so you know you can have them and not feel deprived. For me, it has been helping a lot to know I can eat pretty much whatever I want as long as I plan how much I can have and when and make it fit into my overall plan. Maybe I can't eat chocolate every day, but it sure helps to know that in a couple of days I can have a small frosty and it won't make me feel like I blew it because I have already included it into my meal plan for that day.

I don't think I could face the thought of "never again" having something I really enjoy and I know I would just give up. It may not be so for everyone, but a little bit of something every once in a while helps me get through the rest of the time when it seems like it's jut one big endless salad and a mountain of chicken.

If you plan, it doesn't have to be "bad". It can be a good part of your menu. Whatever the it thing is for you. For me, it's chocolate.

Get back on track and have a great ride!

I totally understand how you feel right now. I did well for four or five days, and just when I'm starting to feel healthy and normal I sabotage myself. It's the most frustrating feeling. I literally ate so much tonight that I feel sick.

I like what was said though, if we eat 21 meals in a week, that means 20 chances for success....

Stay strong. You're definitely not alone.

Sometimess, we behave a certain way due to habit. It's never too late to try and break a bad habit..
