Frustrated - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Sorry, but I'm more than alittle frustrated with myself, and kind of need to vent: I started the day out great - made myself a breakfast shake, decided to walk to the library and grocery store instead of taking the bus, and just generally enjoyed the sunshine. I had this ridiculous craving for chips (I didn't even eat chips befor eI started trying to lose weight!), so I bought a bag of those Crispers - healthier alternative, right? Well, not if you eat the whole bag

I think this is the first time I've felt like my eating wasn't in control over the past 2 months, and it made me frustrated and angry with myself. And they weren't even that good. I mean, if I was going to binge, why not go for chocolate instead of a non-junk junk food? Even though, logically, the crispers won't put me back at the beginning, it feels as though they have, 'cause I was doing so well control-wise and now it feels like i have to build it all up again. Grr. I just needed to get it off my chest. I think I'll go for a run now, to counter at least some of the 9 WW points I managed to consume in half an hour. Thanks for listening to me vent.

Don't be so hard on yourself. you're doing very well and going for that run will help. If you fall off get back on and foget it. lol easier said than done I know. We are only human and not perfect. we will always have those slip up's. and you sound like you are doing well to stay on track! your doing grat hun keep it up!

Everyone and I mean EVERYONE has a slip up. The biggest thing you can take away from it, is how crappy you felt afterward. Any time you think about cheating, think back to the Crispers...Was it worth the guilt? Heck no! But there may be a time when the chocolate cake IS worth the guilt...and you can just call that a do-over.

Thanks guys - I ran a couple miles and felt way better, though still pretty unimpressed with myself. I appreciate the support - certainly made me feel better. And I'll keep the do-over for chocolate cake in mind!

definitely chill out and cut yourself some snack. Like you say, it was non-junk, junk food. It couldda been a heckuvva lot worse, then what would you be feeling?

I ate pizza on Wednesday, but I'm back on track.

happens!
