On the plus side I was so pressed for time, I couldn't buy something, which kept the calories down. But on the downside it wasn't a very nutricious evening, and was a bit snack-y
- log everything again which I'm sure helped

- do not snack between breakfast and lunch
- take a sensible amount at lunch, no bread

I need to figure out better afternoon snacks. I think I'm still eating rather a lot of sugar, albeit in the form of fruit. But that's still sugar. Suggestions?0 -

- Stay calm at work, using coping mechanisms Still no coping mechanisms though, need to pick one or two and practise them specifically
- Take a half hour lunch break out of the office - go to Pret and have salad
- Max 3 tea/coffee Think so, but not sure which suggests I wasn't really monitoring this
- Log everything I eat got a bit distracted (i.e. tipsy) at the bbq and couldn't be bothered
- Watch what I eat at tonight's barbecue - have healthier options, small portions and only a tiny portion of sweet stuff actually did ok here I think
- Drink one water for every alcoholic drink definitely didn't do this, had mountains of prosecco and no water.... had an awesome time though and was what I needed!

Not such a good day yesterday - had a weigh in which didn't go well and also developed a cold mid afternoon which made me feel rubbish. Result was lots of comfort binging! Never mind, the key thing is to try again - no giving up now.

I only read a few of the goals, but I only have one goal I would like to try for the day, and that is to try to think a positive thought regarding dieting versus a negative thought regarding dieting. If I can start that trend, maybe it won't be such a chore. If I can start that trend, then maybe things will start feeling easier. Sigh...0

Goal for the day:
-Eat only what I brought to job
-Drink more water
-Don't eat a lot of dark chocolate, just some squares
-Exercise at home.0 -
I was doing OK, and thought I could manage binge eating. So they had skinny cows on sale at the store - 2 boxes for $7.00. Well, that was the start of the binging. I had one, then another, then another, until the boxes are almost gone.
Why I do this, I don't know. It is crazy. I feel worse when I do this. It makes me feel grumpy, and upset with myself. I know it is most likely just thirst, because most of my binging is on ice cream. At least I bought skinny cow ice cream, so it was only 150 calories each instead of 250.
so once again, today is a new day. I am going to try and learn from this, and just not buy these things. Even though they are low in calorie, they get me started.
so just for today
1. think positive thoughts. All is not lost. I don't have to be a "all or nothing". Yesterday was just one day out of my week. I can average this out by watching what I eat the rest of the week
2. drink water. I think my binging starts when I am dehydrated. Concentrate on water
3. DO not let one day turn into 2 days. That is the nice thing about each new day - its a time to start over. If I have to do this a million times, that is better than just throwing in the towel and giving up.
So all of you - hang in there. Old habits are very hard to break, and they can come back so quickly. My hope is by writing down our commitments, being accountable, soon these old habits will get buried, and harder to come to surface.1 -
- Get to the gym
- Start a modest strength program- new gym + new nautilus layout= performance anxiety
- Eat a clean salad for lunch-not that gross over salted chicken breast- I'll have black beans on my salad instead
- Eat my banana rather than chocolate for my afternoon snack
- Tell someone they inspire me- so many to choose from
