    Went over by 200 today. Had a late night drink and slice of pizza. My day was perfectly planned out before I went to hang out. Kinda worth it but also not

    I seem to have completely lost it. Had a brilliant first 5 weeks but really struggled to regain focus since being ill. ...

    Similar story for me. I'm taking today to prepare some food, and prepare myself mentally, and I'm starting afresh tomorrow too. Lets do this together :smile:

    Friday & Saturday were "ok". I didnt over indulge, I managed to come in under calories Saturday, but was over by 30 on Friday (which was much better than Thursday!).
    But, like Jenni & Claire & others have noted this week, its been a struggle. Even though I got back on track yesterday, because b/f just had surgery & needs extra calories, I've been indulging his dinner requests for the things that I have difficulty controlling myself around (i.e., rice & pasta). It seems SO difficult to not just say "screw it, I'm gonna eat 2 (or 3 or more) portions of everything, I'll get back on track tomorrow". I'm holding on, but it feels like just barely!

    I shopped today, all healthy stuff. Healthy lunch made for tomorrow, I have 3 portions of fruit to take to work. I have to get back on it :-)

    I did really well today. Wasn't feeling particularly well, so I didn't crave much. Was well under my goal.

    @ClarissaCLD , I understand what you are going through... Also about 5-6 weeks in and the last three days have been painful & ended in me way overeating tonight. I logged it all though & tomorrow is a new day. Well just have to wait & see what the scale does this week.

    Last few days have not been great. I am still doing well nutritionally, lots of fruit and veg and protein. But I am snacking on crisps and chocolate again and going way over on my calories. I can't just buy a normal bar of chocolate it has to be whatever 100g one is on offer. If I could stick to just a bar of chocolate I would be fine in my calories. I am better just not having it, but its tastes sooooooooooo good.

    Today I am determined to get back on track. I have pre filled in my diary with what I am planning on eating and its all healthy food.

    I went to a birthday party on Saturday and a retirement party on Sunday. Had cake at both, so I ended up eating back my exercise calories plus 100 more. I resolve to do better this week, because hubby and I celebrate our 10th anniversary next weekend and are going away without kids. We will have one cheat meal and drinks, so I don't want to go completely off the rails with too many bad days before then.

    After thinking I was going to fail at dinner last night I managed to pull it back and stay within calories :)

    Needed a pick me up so I spent all day baking and gardening. Ended up 50 calories over but I'm giving away all the baked goods tomorrow.

    I did great the last few days due to work keeping me very busy--I needed to set an alarm to remind me to eat something (snack or meal) every 5 hours so my appetite doesn't get to the point of being ravenous. I expect to have a good weigh-in # tomorrow (Wednesday).

    Pretty decent day today... Went to a speaker with my co-workers today, & there was a lunch buffet of very fatty, high calorie foods... I opted to just have a spring mix salad there with just a tiny drizzle of vinaigrette, & ate my healthy lunch I'd packed when we got back to the office :)

    Yesterday & today were good. Stayed @ count & had a lovely sweet potato w/cinnamon & nutmeg when the urge for something sweet hit me this afternoon!

    Don't let a cookie (or even 2 or 3 or whatever) drive you mad! Tomorrow is a new day and you'll get back on track!

    I ate back some of my exercise calories today. So I'm under but I kinda feel like I cheated. Pretty much felt like crud and wanted to binge and drink but didn't. Not sure if I feel better now or worse.
    Plus feeling really alone with this whole thing lately and it makes me wonder if it's worth it. I just feel horrible most of the time

    I have been so bad since returning from my trip. Even four days away got me out of the habit of logging everything. I've also had a lot of strong cravings for sweet things, which I don't usually get, and that has really messed me up this week. :(

    Made a birthday cake for my boyfriend and his brother, so I'm hoping to log everything tomorrow, even if that sends me over. I feel like I'm in such a rut, from only a few days.

    I'm getting back on the 'good eating' wagon, slowly but surely.

    I've pre-prepped food for today. I had porridge for breakfast (187 cals), a 80 calorie salad for lunch, and have some yummy snacks of celery, red pepper slices, and an apple. For my 'treat', I have a 2-finger Kitkat (107 cals).

    I've sent my partner out shopping for some extra provisions, and am planning on a healthy dinner too.
