Yuck

Kelley528

I have been using MFP for over a year and a half. I log religiously and truthfully every day. This is the gods honest truth when I say this---tonight was the very first time in all my time on MFP that i deliberately ate past my calories simply because Im having bad munchies due to TOM and I, for the very first time, thought---i dont give a f--k I'm eating cookies. A lot more cookies than I even wanted. I kept eating them even though I felt stuffed simply because my homemade pumpkin oatmeal cookies were way to good to eat my usual serving of 2.

I ate my acceptable serving of 2 right after dinner. I was minding my own business watching a movie but knowing those yummy things were in my kitchen I kept going back for more. I ate an additional 5. I know its not the end of the world. Even by eating those extra pumpkiny goodness my total intake for the night is 2001 calories. It could have been worse. I dont think I will gain any weight from this. I amy not lose any but I wont gain. I'm just disappointed in myself for eating so many when I felt full and I'm disappointed that I said to the hell with it all because damn hormones overruled my will power.

The good thing that came out of this is I can not stand how my stomach feels now so it should keep me from doing this again. I feel insatiable munchies coming on I will have an extra one or two--not 5 or 6 because I feel like if my cat puts her head on my stomach like she usually does when Im watching movies that i might heave. Thats enough motivation to fight the urge. Hell, it might even prevent me from getting the urge again.

Anyone else have a "yuck" moment, big or small, that was enough to keep you from doing it again?

Good lord. Give yourself a break once in a while.

I was on MFP religiously about a year ago and I know that feeling! It does kind of surprise you. But good job on your diet! Some days you just get the munchies, or end up at a cook-out where you have to 'go with it'

2000 cals, don't worry about that. These days happen, kind of reminds you what not to do ALL THE TIME. once in a while is fine

And just to relate, every few month my hormones go CRAZY and i can't stop eating!!!! Like everything. But it will last an afternoon or an evening and then go away and i'm back to my normal eating habits. Stupid hormones.........

Those cookies sound delicious btw, at least you binged on something great!

I have a problem. I never feel guilty. I do acknowledge what I eat and think about how I feel, but never any guilt.

I really love that Little Ceasar's Cheesy Italian Bread... I can see myself going overboard with those, lol.

Pumpkin oatmeal cookies? Pumpkin oatmeal COOKIES? I must have this recipe.

Also, it does indeed happen. I had a bad one last Saturday too, and sometimes just moving on from it is the best thing you can do for your body. Our bodies like normality, and whipping from one extreme of overeating to the other extreme of restricting to "make up" for it is not as good as just getting back to normal the next day.

I overate at a family gathering a few weeks ago, and I will never do it again. I felt so sick all night and most of the next day it just isn't worth it. I hate that full stuffed feeling, or the feeling you get if you eat really fatty foods. I learned my lesson, I have no desire for sweets or greasy foods anymore.
