im pretty grossed out by myself right now

  • i just consumed probably about 500 calories worth of chips in less the a minute.
    i told myself not to do it but it was almost compulsive. the way i was scarfing them down like i couldnt get enough was scary and sad. i did so well today before that. i ate healthy all day, i did pilates and walked two and a half miles. and then i have to go do something like this. i dont understand it and i dont understand why i felt the dire need to stuff myself full of junkfood. i poured the rest of the chips in the trash so i couldnt do the same thing tomorrow night.
    i really could just use some support and some tips on how other people deal with this stuff because i know im not the only one.
  • Wow my friend, I can tell you I know how you are feeling, I have been there, and done that many times, more then I could ever count. But since I have worked on myself on the inside, with God's help. I have learned I am ultimately responsable for what I put into my mouth, but before I got understanding, and free on the inside, I lived my life totally out of the unconscious parts of my mind. I ate and ate and ate like a mad, mad eating machine and had no idea why! NONE! I was CLUELESS! I have a friend at [Website removed] who can help you, like he helped me. His name is Frank. Please tell him Gwyn sent you. If you care to talk to him. I am truly free on the inside now! Happy and Free! Hey I also find if I don't bring the junk into the house, I don't eat it. Chin Up Now!
    Smile God Loves You and so do I. You can do all things through Christ.
    Love in Christ, Gwyn

    Good idea.
    And keep in mind that 500cal worth of damage isn't that bad. What is probably a worse feeling is that "out of control, can't stop myself" feeling.
    I get this way too as do many other chicas. I try, try, try to hold out, do other things, drink tea, whatever for as long as possible when this feeling comes on. Most times it works for me. Some times it doesn't.
  • I know it's frustrating to have binged, but 500 calories is NOT THAT MUCH. ESPECIALLY since you exercised today. It would have been better to not have the chips, but since you did, the most important thing to do is forgive yourself (so you don't eat more to punish yourself), and move on with your plan. Not tomorrow. Not Monday. NOW. It was a blip, that's all. Just keep on putting one foot in front of the other, and put it behind you.

    Heck, I had some cookies last night that I didn't need. But (and this is HUGE for me), I said "OK" to myself, got up and worked out as usual this morning, and am back on program, as if it never happened. I was even down 1/2 a pound this morning!
  • thanks you guys you made me feel a lot better <3
  • I'm just amazed by your ticker girl! Look at how far you have come, don't let something as small as 500 calories get you down... we all get a little off track now and then. I know how scarey a binge can feel though, that out of control feeling. The important thing is you get right back on track afterwards!
  • You've come a long way and we each have our struggles. 500 calories is a blip. At least you recognized it and were able to stop at 500 calories.
  • You know that exersize you did proably burned off those extra calories. Cheer Up! You are still doing very well. So don't throw in the towel. Not over a stumble, not over a fall, keep on keeping on through it all. You come a long way baby, don't you dare be so hard with yourself. Just keep real and dump the junk. ( don't bring it into your house )
    Have a Happy Easter! Love your friend, Gwyn
