I fear I have fallen!!!

  • But tomorrow, I will get back up

    Ive been going to the gym, sticking with the C25K, but my eating is slowly going back to how it was previous to my weight loss epiphany. Ive been munching at night. Im fine all day, and then at like 8-9 I pack on around 300 calories. Or more. Ive been under or around 1800, so I know that Im not TOTALLY binging like I used to, but Im making unhealthy choices (like cheese and crackers, weight watchers ice cream, and tonight, a plate of leftover corned beef and cabbage) that are leading down the wrong path.

    Ive been more hungry since working out. I need to figure this out. Maybe eating a piece of fruit before I go and something small after, or a yogurt before and then lunch after. Something. Because Im using this extra hunger as an excuse for a fourth meal.

    I think I just need to admit this so that I can nip it in the bud. I havent weighed in, I dont want to Im so freaking disappointed in myself diet wise! But I have the exercise achievement, so at least Im not throwing in the towel.

    Tomorrow I will eat a healthy variety of filling foods.
  • I'm the same as you! Late at night I want snacks! Honestly, I was having a craving and I've been doing really good not cheating, then I'll cheat and be like "screw it I had a bite of peanut butter, might as well have more". I was eyeing the peanut butter before I read this and now I know not to eat it! You aren't alone, I am also afraid of weighing in! Just stay strong
  • Ishisnowcone - I think your head is totally in the right place about this, you've gotta get it under control. I've been in a similar place lately and was losing much slower than I like because I was eating too much, a lot of it at night. I think part of it was that I was working out too much, but I think it also comes down to what you're eating. Are you getting snacks or something in after the workouts? If so, what are they?
  • This last week I've done the same. I stayed within my calories up until about 10pm, and then I had a chocolate bar. In bed. I feel disgusted.

    We've fallen, but we're not gonna let that wagon pass us by. We'll get up and get back on, right? And like audri said, your head is in the right place, and that's what matters. Mine kinda isn't right now.

    You can do eeeeet!!
  • Audri- nope, not usually. I dont know what I eat after, nothing in particular. I usually go either in the morning, after breakfast (an egg or a bowl of cereal or something like that) and noly eat something after if Im really hungry, like a yogurt. If I go in the evening, it isnt until after 7 (gotta get the kids in bed so DF isnt mad that Im leaving :P ) and then I come home and said binge occurs. While I sit and watch tv.

    Maybe I need an evening hobby besides food lol.
  • We all fall! I've fallen the last two days and my *** is a little bruised from it...but I'm sort of back up lol it's still early so I can redeem myself, after 9am lol.
  • I fixed my ticker. I have gained 3 dang pounds. Not too bad, Im on it!
