Well I think I'm done beating myself up. I have to be positive in order to do this so I forgive myself! I've done great today! Day 1 a consider a sucess!!
Shad - I agree the energy here is awesome! It also nice to know that you not alone when it comes to working out. So many times we are so hard with one self thinking we can do more!
Melody - You inspired me to pick up some apples. I threw some in my salad today. Yummy!! Great going on not drinking diet pop!
crd43123 - That sounds like a great challenge! Yea that night time hunger gets me. One thing I'm working on is the types of hunger. Here is what I do. It really seems to help me... Think of these things before you take that bite!!!
Emotional Hunger
Develops Suddenly
Strikes above the neck ( e.g. a "taste" for ice cream)
Occurs at random times
Persistes despite eating
Eating leads to guilt or shame.
Physical Hunger
Builds gradually
Strikes Below the neck ( e.g. growling stomach) Occures serveral hours after a meal
Goes away when full
Eating leads to a feeling of satisfaction.

I had a fast-food hamburger for lunch today - what a mistake! It tasted good, but as soon as I was finished with it I regretted it. Why do I do that? I eat things knowing that I shouldn't, knowing that I'll just regret it as soon as it's down my throat.
For now, the challenge (I'll split them if I add any elements) is the same, no white flour, no sugar, no cheese, nuts or deep-fried food...anything else? Oh yeah! No alcohol?! How did I forget that one?!?! Oh yes, there IS one more element. I must journal my food and exercise and be able to caluculate the approximate calories I consumed (and expended). I don't have to do that if I don't feel like it, but I have to write it all down in enough detail (as to portions and number) that I could calculate it if I wanted to. The goal, though not part of the challenge, is to watch the calories and try to keep them from going way outta whack!
ALSO and this is a big one....the pause days must be recorded as well...or I will have to start over. I think I can do way, way, WAY too much damage on a pause day, which is stupid if I want to lose weight....Okay, folks, there it is in writing. I'm wrapping up Day 1 as soon as I write down what I just ate....
I don't want to hear you getting down on yourself!!!! you hear me!!! One itsy-bitsy fastfood hamburger is not something to be disappointed about. Now, maybe if you'd had two double servings of fries with 10 tubs of ketchup, three super-duper-whopper--woopers with extra mayonnaise, three servings of onion rings and a chocolate milkshake AND a strawberry milkshake, AND a diet coke, I'd be disappointed!
Look to what you did RIGHT. Make note of what you were disatsified with and aim to do better than that next time. Really, being disappointed, angry, upset, any of those nasty things means you're probably focusing on what you did wrong, instead of what you did right. Simply noting it is enough, buoy yourself up with some, "you weren't able to today, but you CAN try to do it tomorrow" talk and kick on! Okay?!!?
And, like gray, I don't want to hear you getting mad at yourself. Just laugh it off...eating chocolate first thing in the morning!!
You made the effort, were very innovative about making cupcakes so you could count the calories. Just think, you could have just made the cake, closed your eyes and stuffed it in. But NOOOO!! You counted. So, a little forgetfullness is something to laugh at, not ask to be kicked about...no, unacceptable self battering! Somebody, get the strait-jacket for this woman!
I think you made the whole challenge, right? What a save too! Devils and angels on your shoulders?! Wow! Could be them affecting weigh-ins, no? Good for you for going 2 miles AND appreciating that beautiful sunrise!

Looks like maybe you got a bit too rambunctious! I hope not and hope your back feels better.
How did Day 1 go? 

I feel better today, because I did so well. I just don't understand WHY the "oh, just this once" issue with emotional/impulsive eating is so hard to stop.
And now the craving is GONE.
