What stupid things did you do this year?

-I brought a vivofit pedometer and didn't wear it most of the time
-Went to the gym, worked hard for an hour then somehow ended up at the drive through several times
-Binged on boxes of salt and vinegar rice crackers two or three times a week
-Didn't scan any food items into myfitnesspal because the thought never crossed my mind
-Ate beyond what I burnt off with exercise (and there was a lot of exercise)
-Made my weightloss goals too ambitious
-Let other people manipulate me into eating bad food that I did not want
-Refused to log binges. The day I started doing that was such a relief, I realized many of my binges weren't as damaging as I thought.
-Substituted potato for sweet potato/kumara but ended up eating three times as much because I thought there were way less calories.
-Got a meal plan from a nutritionist and was confused by her listed ''four rashers'' of bacon for breakfast and ended up eating four pieces. Luckily I only did that once.
-Tried to make losing weight as painful, hard, and unhappy as possible
-Didn't replace emotional eating, binging or eating for pleasure/comfort with something else, and ended up getting very depressed and confused.
-Thought corn was a low calorie option and ate a lot of it, before checking how many calories it was.
-Didn't save messages people sent me so they got wiped off my account, and they had really great advice :-(
-Didn't write down useful information I found on the forums
-Didn't log in most days
-Tracked my actual exercise times on the website so was given too many calories to play with
-Ate way too much salt
-Didn't get enough sleep (ironically, I am writing this at 2:30am)
Hopefully by acknowledging these things, I won't do them in 2016. What were your stuff-ups?

- I'd go into the shop for one thing and I'd come out with chocolate, crisps, cake, sweets and cheese0 -
Luckily, I still lost about 15 kilos, but I could have done much better.0

Till July thought I was lifting heavy weights and thought cardio was everything to reduce my weight! I learned so much.0

Didn't change orthopedists when I felt I was not able to communicate with him. Then was not diagnosed correctly due to his laziness in checking out an x-ray and ended up walking around with a broken hip bone for 3 months.0

-Was losing weight at a snails pace and wondering why so slow. On further review, realised had been eating back most of my exercise calories. Stopped doing that, weight started melting off faster.
- Bought a digital scale to replace old scale. Old scale was displaying wrong weight by -5 kg. GAH! Feels like im starting over again.

I did that too. Seems like I am less likely to overeat if I do less cardio.0 -
Came back to the forums1

Lost 66 lbs then got pregnant!
Okay so at 8 and 1/2 months I am starting to get excited about it and VERY excited to be able to workout and make myself so proud of the hard work I put in.
By Christmas of 2016 I just might have enough confidence to post a full body picture on here!0 -

Ate a whole cherry cheesecake by myself.
Let work get to me so much that I developed ulcers. Still trying to heal them AND learn how to manage stress.0 -
Yesterday, I had a chocolate craving so I made some chocolate icing and raw microwave brownie mix. It didn't taste amazing, but I ate it all anyway. I consider that a mistake.
I'm kind of having a free for all until lunch of New Years day. I'm planning on getting frozen yoghurt with as many toppings as I can stomach, then having a champagne breakfast on New Years day with Bacon and Hashbrowns. Then I'm going to return to counting calories and stuff.0 -

In 2015 I:
-Didn't really go to the gym, unless I was meeting someone there
-Made things as hard and miserable for myself as possible
-Tried to force myself to do more cardio than I wanted to do and that was sustainable
-skipped breakfast most days
-started cutting protein out of my meals without realising and ended up being hungry a lot of the time
-was hungry a lot
-didn't add enough fruit and veges to my diet0 -
Once I entered "maintenance" I got a little sloppy. Gained a bit of weight back......only 10 pounds but it's weight I really didn't want to re-lose.
Stopped going to the gym due to a shoulder issue I caused myself. I could have worked around it and used other methods but it became an excuse not to go.
Sat on my *kitten* too much watching tv.0 -
Trusted my ex one last time... Never again! Lol0
-
I forgot to add........
Didn't save enough money
Drank too much.
I sucked in 2015. 0
