I really understand how you feel. But, let's just take a look at what really happened. You had an extra maybe 500 calories at most? That will not make you gain weight...you just won't lose as much. But I get it. It's not just the weight. It's the power that those chocolates had over you. I have been struggling SO MUCH with my eating lately and I will binge all day long or just be good up until 3 pm and then binge the rest of the day, consuming thousands upon thousands of extra calories (my ticker is not updated, btw because I just can't face the scale right now). What am I saying? It could be worse. Just move on and consider the fact that you stopped at 6 a success. Maybe you and I can ask ourselves what we can do to stop ourselves the next time we have a craving. For me, I'm having one right now. I want creamy chocolate and I want to devour everything that I'm addicted to. Instead, I plan to focus on the fact that I actually worked out today and have been on plan so far (it's 4pm here). I also plan to get some gum and some hot tea. I plan on taking it just one day at a time. Not to worry about the past. It's done. Beating ourselves up over our past behaviors only leads to more problems, in my opinion. It's better to look at things from an analytical perspective so as to avoid or limit future slips. I hope it's ok that I'm saying all this, given that I haven't been able to help myself all that much lately, despite every intention of recommitting myself to this journey.
