Default bad, bad, bad, BAD food day!

I feel like such an idiot right now!

I spent time this morning preparing a fruit salad with FAGE yoghurt, and a spinach salad with tomatoes, light mozz and red onion and I ate NONE of it.

In fact, I didn't EAT today at all, with the exception of breakfast. I only ate candy! Lots and lots of candy! By the time I ate enough this morning I had no desire to eat at lunchtime, then I finally got hungry again around 3pm when I had to go to a meeting. That lasted until 4pm and I thought "well, I'll be going home soon and I have a lot to do so I'll just push through and eat later". DUMB. I just ate more candy after that!!

I KNOW I don't need to beat myself up about this but I am so sick and frigging tired of not having the control and the will to take care of myself right now. I'm just so incredibly annoyed with myself!!!

Someone PLEASE tell me why I can't do this?! Why am I allowing my little depression and stress rule my life instead of ME taking care of myself?! WHY?????

You ARE taking care of yourself! Look at the weight you have lost. Taking care of yourself is not never doing anything like that again - it's picking yourself up and moving on! You can do that.

Girl, I have a "bad food days" probably once a week. Normally on weekends. You just have to start fresh again the next day. Afterall, we are only human. Thats life.
Don't beat yourself up, I know it is hard not to.
Yesterday I pigged out on mini fruit flavoured marshmellows and was too full to eat anything else. So we're in the same boat.

These things do happen. Take a deep breath, get right back on plan, and move on...it's the best approach when you've gone off the rails.

Lots of water, lots of patience with yourself!

No one is perfect! We all have those days. Pick yourself up, brush off the dust---er, candy crumbs, and make your next choice one that is on your plan.

Everyone is right...it does happen! I had a big "eat fest" on the weekend and last night I ate another piece of DH's bday cake! Just take it one step at a time and get back on the wagon! You've done SO well so far...you should be proud and not let this slip-up discourage you!

Hey, you're doing OK. I believe there is a "candy diet" out there if you google it. You can just say you were trying it out for a day but decided it was too prohibitive and didn't allow you to eat a variety of other foods. We've all been there. Just this weekend I tried out the "cheese diet" but dropped it after I realized I wanted to eat more than cheese. Get up, throw out the candy and keep going. You can do it, you know you can!
