Blah I need to vent, I am so mad at myself! I have been so good and under control for over a month now. I haven't been overeating, sticking to my calorie intake for the day. Well yesterday it was like a dam that broke *LOL* I was so hungry the whole day, and I was eating the exact same as everyday no less, I had dinner and then just continued to eat (swedish berry candies, macadamia nuts, and I am sure more if I had some junk in my house!). I wasn't even hungry at one point but I just ate some more, how sad is that? I am so embarassed to admit this on a message board where everyone can read this, but maybe that will keep me from ever doing that again! Ok I am done my venting now, everyone feel free to give me a swift kick in the butt to smarten me up!

I will not cast the first stone, so to speak. I am guilty also and often wish to kick myself in the keester. New day, lets just pick ourselves up and take a breath and remember this is a daily thing.

Nope, no kicks in the butt! Most of us have been there!! Hey it was ONE day... hang in there and keep going!!!

Sending you big hugs, girls...
Dance4joy is right... we've all been there, and that's why we're here.

I had a similar experience last week. I'm trying so hard to be "perfect" on my new weight-loss program, but last week I had eight cookies (normally I would have eaten a couple of dozen, easy) before going to my exercise class. I felt as though I'd failed, and that I may as well quit.
I talked to my trainer about it, and he said, "So what!? You had eight cookies. You didn't have 10. You're human. Let's move on."
It was such a relief to hear those words. I'm NOT a failure... none of us are. We have bad days, but we're capable of getting over them and moving on.

Let's all move on, girls... we've got the strength to do it, and we're all here for each other.

Ellis,

Well after many unsucessfull years at dieting I finally realized if I have a bad day that doesn't mean I need to give up. Took me a long time to come to that conclusion! Now I just start all over again the next day!

[mishakal30]

Canadiansmile... I have been there girlfriend! It feels like I go for a long time and I am fine and then I have a day where it all goes out the window. The important thing to remember is that it is just one day. They will happen once in a while and when they do just take it for that and get back on that wagon. I'm pulling for you!

[CanadianSmile]

Thank you Mishakal, its great to have some outside support other than your family who doesn't always understand our struggles! It always makes my day when I have an encouraging message, so thank you!

[snowflakie]

I totally sympathize. I just got back to the gym Monday and then bought chocolate cake on Tuesday. What was I thinking??!!

[CanadianSmile]

Snowflakie,

You were thinking.........."damn that cake looks good!" *LOL*

It's only one day in the grand scheme of things, dust yourself off and get back on that wagon... We have ALL been there once or MORE... Hang in there fellow Ontarian!
