oh man i know how you feel i did it with a bag of pitted dates i ate the whole bag i couldnt stop myself and i felt so bad after i finished and to make matters worse i didnt go to the gym for a whole week or exercise but i started to look at it in a positive light sometimes were so hard on ourselves yes i shouldnt have ate all the dates but last year i was over eating some pretty bad stuff like a whole bag of lollies or junk food so its the lesser of two evils and you gonna sometimes let it go and start again no point being too hard on yourself just keep going good luck .

omg am the same lol its cos sugar is so addictive its best to stay clear of that white stuff i replace it with fruit & nuts, sultanas organic dates and its works i also try to stay away from salt i replace it with lemon if am cooking something and the ingredients says it needs salt i use lemon instead and i cant really tell the difference and i got so use to it am glad i don't crave it anymore your right its best to stay away from it .

Fat girl logic: Go ahead, eat that slice of pizza and then turn tomorrow into a 24h fast. It doesn't matter that it's midnight right now, just reheat supper at midnight tomorrow.

'Fat girl logic', that is the perfect description for it.

I have the tendency to believe if it gets eaten later, after dinner, after 7 or so, it doesn't count right? Because I ate well all day, so this is like pretend calories right?

I did that yesterday, had a healthy dinner and then at around 9 husband and I got take out burgers lol. But I was up at 5 today going for my walk so I won't be too hard on myself.

Ugh my fat girl logic rears her ugly head and says
"You are already fat, what will one more crappy meal do to you?"
Or my favorite
"If I ate this in the morning I'll have all day to burn it off!"

Sometimes she is damn convincing!

I had a similar day yesterday: my uncle bought doughnuts for the family to eat as we were busy helping my grandma move. I decided that I've only have one, and then throughout the day, one turned into four. I ate nothing but doughnuts and cookies. After the first doughnut, I thought, "well, I already messed up, might as well eat more." I always think that if I mess up today, I can try again tomorrow.

One of my worst habits is when I go out to eat with friends or family, I don't order anything healthy. I've gotten into the weird habit where I order only water, but I order whatever the heck I want on the menu because I tend to think, "hey, if I'm going out to eat, I'm not eating crappy health food."

My fat girl logic comes out at night...right around this time, actually. :P She says "Hey, you worked hard at the gym today! You burned so many calories, you can afford to eat that...and that...and that...". Luckily I shut her up tonight. :P We have these little ice cream bars (160 calories) and I had one and it was great. Just one and it was totally within my calorie budget for an after-dinner sweet. Yay!

This put an image in my head and I just had to draw it.

Elladorine, I LOVE that! You have so much talent

Aw, thanks! I may print it out and stick it on my fridge as a friendly reminder.

Damn, girl, you're good!
I'm guessing you do that professionally!

Elladorine, lol that's awesome!

Love it! Too bad I'm much bigger than that girl

Great thread! Wasn't going to comment, though, but how could I possibly not add my voice to the chorus of people talking about that AMAZING picture. What talent you have, Elladorine. She's gorgeous, as are you!

Elladorine, that is amazing!
