Bad food day
 

Bad food day
This weekend has been a hard one for me nutritionally. My sister and I went away for the weekend to celebrate her b-day. I managed to stay on track while we were away but we got home today and had a party with the rest of our family and it went down hill from there.

I got guilt tripped into having a slice of cake which was about 200 calories for the worlds tiniest slice. My family kept saying that "it was no fun if everyone wasn't enjoying the food too" and "it wont kill you to have one piece". I know that statement is so stupid, but I ate anyway just to get them to shut up.

That triggered a MASSIVE downward spiral! It is like the sugar monster came out of me and I totally lost control over what I was doing. I ended up eating several cookies as well. Then we went out to eat. I had planned on a salad, but I ended up ordering fajitas and ate WAY too much. I don't even want to calculate the calories in what I consumed.

I'll be back on plan tomorrow. I'm just upset with myself for being influenced by my family and doing something that I knew would have a bad result.

The "it won't kill you to have a piece" always gets to me. Sorry your day was so stressful :(

FORGET ABOUT IT ! ! ! Start over immediately, and just realize this is part of LIFE----------

:hug:

I've seen a lot of suggestions about how to deal with it when people say "one slice/piece/bit won't hurt". I tend to personally stick with, "It's not the one piece of whatever that I'm worried about. It's what it would trigger me to eat after!"

I'm sorry it led down a spiral for you. Put it behind you and move along :hug:
