I did awesome from Monday to this evening until I got a low blood sugar this evening. I got into a Reese at Walmart to treat the low, it didn't feel it was working so i pounded an icecream cone too, then others were eating onion rings so I ate those too. Now I feel like such a piece of **** and that I wasted all my hard work this week and that Im always gonna be stuck with this body i hate..... I hate food and what it does to my brain. I hate my brain and what it makes me think of food. Lose lose situation....But I can guarantee that I will start fresh tomorrow and continue this journey. It sure is a long, rough one. I can't even have any more kids cause I know i will have a nervous break down if I gain weight again and can't lose it quickly. Wouldn't be good.

Hey! It's one day...no need to beat yourself up about it. Think of it as a treat to yourself for doing so well!
You're damn straight tomorrow is a fresh start and you will do amazing! Don't stress so much about it. c:
Also, sugar isn't the greatest way to treat low blood sugar, strange as it may sound. It's an instant fix that raises your sugar levels too quickly and shocks the pancreas into releasing insulin, which just brings your sugars right back down. Eventually if this cycle continues it can lead to diabetes because your pancreas gets tired and isn't releasing the insulin anymore.
The best way to do it is to pair a complex carb with a protein, so the protein helps the carb release the sugars gradually into your system so it doesn't go into sugar shock, IE a whole grain sandwich with some meat and spinach on it.
If you absolutely have to, use glucose tablets or a small piece of candy, but try to get some real food into your system asap.
I'm not sure if you're hypoglycemic but here's some snack ideas regardless:

Chin up chick.. We all have crappy bad day's i.e I "rewarded" myself with a KFC yesterday after my swim :sad: but as you wisely stated tomorrow will be a fresh start for you :bigsmile:0

Tomorrow is another day. Everybody's a loser once in a while. If this was easy everybody would be in good shape all the time!
Just mark it down as a "carb loading" day

Don't get down on yourself. You haven't lost all the weight in a day, and you aren't going to gain it back in a day. It happens to the best of us. I went to the movies last week, and ended up eating a large bag of skittles, a box of mike and ikes and a bad of chocolate covered pomegranates. The total damage was about 800 calories, and on my one rest day, so no chance to burn it off. So what? I've eaten great every day since then, and my fat loss hasn't slowed down. Give yourself a break and do better starting...now.0

Have you considered seeing someone about your relationship with food? And self esteem too maybe?0

One meal does not ruin a whole week! I definitely know how it feels that way, I've totally been there, but take things one meal at a time. Start fresh with your next meal (I find starting fresh "tomorrow" quickly turns into "Monday" which quickly turns into "next week" and so on). You can do this!0

Hopefully this is just one bad day you're having. You're 'about me' section in your profile looks logical. Maybe reread it to remind yourself what you've gotta do. It's just one day. You got this!0

maybe you should blog instead of making topics.

^^^^ this
You say that you hate your body and are incredibly stressed about losing weight, continuously post thread after thread obsessing about the ins and outs of losing weight or berating yourself (like this one), but you only have 8 lbs left on your ticker . It seems that the level of anxiety that losing that weight is causing you may be disproportionate.0 -
Are you Hypoglycemic? I have episodes like that...or should I say have had? I just found out I am diabetic now. That's beside the point.
The glucose tabs are helpful. I also carried a protein bar or raisins in my purse at all times.
At least you realize you had a bad day and don't intend to keep having them. Good for You.
Don't beat yourself up to much over One bad day.

THIS! Don't wait until 'tomorrow' ... begin with the next meal or the next 'snack'! You can do a lot of damage before 'tomorrow', or the next 'tomorrow'.0 -
It happens. Unless it happens EVERY day, don't stress about it.
I guess learn from the this experience & how it makes you feel & use it for next time when you are feeling like you are going to eat things you don't really want to.
Dust yourself off, start again.0 -
These threads you're posting are starting to get out of control. Seriously, take a step back and take a personal inventory of yourself. List out all your goals, good things about yourself, and things you want to improve. Read some self help books...0

One day isn't going to destroy your diet.
And as others have said, you need to get some help fixing your relationship with food because you don't seem to want to listen to and implement the large amount of good advice that you've received.0 -
You ate 479 over your goal for the day/week and you're here calling yourself a "Piece of **** Loser" ? Srsly, wow. I see your posts from time to time and you get lots of great advice, but you seem content on self flagellation.0

That is the spirit. Better day tomorrow. I am a Type 1 diabetic. Can relate to the lows and hate to treat with food but sometimes I do. If it happens often, try a glucose tablet or a small peice of hard candy and just sit down and wait it out for your sugar to normalize. That will help fight off the intense cravings as you know. Best of luck!:
We can do this. I am just getting back on track after a month of slacking and today was a great day. 0 -
You made me feel better. I was eating well for a long time and then splurged at the movies too. I was so upset with myself, but now I feel better realizing it's normal to have one of those days. You're right, we can't undo the good days by one splurge day. Thanks for posting!0
