A Week in the Red

I am looking for some words of support. I am having the worst food week since I started tracking in April. Literally, as I write this I am sitting with a friend in a cafe where we each ate half of a ginormous grilled cheese. Weirdly, in the past few weeks, it's actually been a struggle for me to eat enough calories on the daily. I'd have days where I was 200-300 calories under, so I have to remind myself to eat a healthy snack. This week I've been craving all the the things I've been so good at avoiding: refined flour, sugar, desserts, excessive amounts of cheese. I've gone over my calories every day since Tuesday. Normally, I'd chalk it up to hormones and a bad week and get right back on track. But tomorrow I'm leaving for a few days for a trip with my family, and I know that there's going to be temptations all around. For goodness sake, we're getting Italian sandwiches on the way there! I'm terrified of gaining back even a couple of ounces, but it seems inevitable. I could definitely use some community support!

sounds like restricting too much last week has made you want to eat all the food this week!
