I feel like such a failure today!
I ate a whole bag of chocolate coated peanuts (my weakness) and 3 oat biscuits!

I brought the peanuts as a treat for after gym i can have a handful - i went crazy before i even went to gym!

I have decided to punish myself im going to do an extra half hour (anymore and I will have to be carried out on a stretcher - lol - plus i dont want to make gym a bad connatation for myself and start hating it) at the gym and then i might feel better about myself! I was doing so well, cant believe i slipped up so badly.
Its not the end all and do all i know but it sucks that my will power slipped so badly!

You are not a failure. You made a poor choice. No need to punish yourself. Just make a better choice next time.

I've been there! "I will be an awesome girlfriend and buy Marco cupcakes, he loves cupcakes!" *CHOMP* All evidence of cupcake purchase disposed....

Mistakes (or better, poor choices) happen to all of us, there are posts about them every single day. All it proves is you are human like the rest of us!

Good on you for going to the gym, nevermind doing the extra half hour!

I hope you enjoyed your treats (and learned from them!).

There's a story of a woman who couldn't help eating unhealthy food once a week and still lost +150lbs. Her slogan was to keep eating healthy the remaining days of the week.

I agree with Mozzy, no need to punish yourself. Your weight loss is a success every single day

I agree with all the others, it happens. However I too am having a bad eating week...not just day...week. Oh well back on track tomorrow right. I keep telling myself it's a lifestyle change not a diet!!!!

Thanks guys! I did "punish" myself at the gym - then felt so proud coz i jogged for 30mins! (with little breaks inbetween) thats the longest i have ever jogged for!
I felt better after the gym and this morning i saw i lost 200grams (despite my oops)
So i may be allowing myself a sweetie once a week! yummy!
